I thought this was a funny wording. Its basically a double insult as rabble means a low class of people. Vile means gross and disgusting.

This word has barely survived in modern day as some older folks use the word as "rabble rouser" which basically means someone who stirs up trouble or makes crowds angry/excited. I enjoy reading these old texts and seeing what words have survived in modern times.

This shows how important perception can be. Just a small amount of music that makes Don Quixote feel like he is at the biggest castle. He still feels he needs to be a knight at the point and I think this is an important part of the story where he cements this idea.

It is also interesting the different types of food that are considered good back then. This meal would be a normal one for anyone now. Trout is also now a fish that not many enjoy or is considered a delicacy but it is what Quixote imagines when he thinks of a good fish.

Alexander Aphrodiseus was one of the most important commentators on Aristotle's work. He is often referred to as "The Commentator". He was deeply thoughtful and studied Aristotle's work deeply. There was also his own work on the soul and mind that was celebrated and made him a revered greek philosopher.

I like that his name is mentioned in the same sentence as Aristotle in this sentence which shows his importance in work referenced to Aristotle.

This is another term for the Virgin Mary of catholic religion. I found a story about a Spanish man who was cruel and dark but only had one soft spot for the Mary. He never forgot to pray for her. Once he become gravely injured, he prayed to the Lady of Succors not for death or life; but for a priest. Once one arrived and he died, they noticed a nearby statue of the mother Mary having sand and wetness around her shoes. This was thought that the Lady of Succours came down and searched the beach for who was praying for her.

This was a knight of the round table who was given this title of savage due to his love of hunting wild game. He was considered a valiant knight and one who would Gawain would want by his side. I enjoy how each of these knights were able to search and have back stories provided to them. It enhances the story.

This is a raised platform for a lectern, throne, or seats of honor. Sitting up on here would be a great sign of respect and is significant for the story right now. The green knight is showing how he should be honored.

I did not know this very well known quote was from The Bhagavad Gita. Apparently Oppenheimer studied Sanskrit during his degree at Berkley and after reading the Bhagavad Gita had a "feeling of mystery of the universe that surrounded him like a fog.” (https://www.openculture.com/2020/09/j-robert-oppenheimer-explains-how-he-recited-a-line-from-bhagavad-gita.html)
