The opening of the poem introduces the extravagant Christmas festivities at Camelot, where King Arthur and his knights celebrate the holiday. As the revelry unfolds, the Green Knight bursts into the hall with a bold challenge, offering a game that tests the courage of Arthur's finest. Gawayne volunteers to take on the challenge, showcasing his bravery and sense of duty.
