the green knight (2021) writing prompts.
“ i’ve got time. i’ve got lots of time. “
“ i’ve got no guts for merriment this year. “
“ you go, make merry. and tell me what you see. “
“ i recognize, but i do not know you. “
“ you tell me a tale of yourself, so that i might know you. “
“ i’ve been waiting for you. did you not hear me calling? “
“ was it not just a game? “
“ i do not know any man who has not marched up to greet death before his time. “
“ is it wrong to want greatness for you? “
“ i fear i am not meant for greatness. “
“ i gave my word. i made a covenant. “
“ this is how silly men perish. or how brave men become great. “
“ why greatness? why is goodness not enough? “
“ when you return, you will come with your head held high. “
“ i promise, you will not come to harm. “
“ do i make you happy? even though i’m here and you’re there? “
“ i’m very sorry. i… i did not see you. i thought there was no one about. “
“ i’ve lost something as well. “
“ a knight should know better. “
“ i know more than just your name. “
“ you are at the end of your quest, ____. a little sooner than you expected, perhaps. “
“ i never knew so many books even existed. “
“ should not a knight offer a lady a kiss in thanks? “
“ surely a knight knows something of love. “
“ whatever the forest offers me, i will bring you home the best. “
“ red is the color of lust, but green is what lust leaves behind. in heart, in womb. “
“ when passion dies, we die, too. “
“ what do you hope to gain from facing all of this? “
“ i wish i could see the new you. but perhaps we will miss our old friend. “
“ are you certain there is nothing you wish to give me? “
“ go that way and your doom is at hand. you will find no mercy. no happy end. “
“ the one you seek is as wild as i, but knows no measure. “
“ if any man truly knew, he would bear his shame happily and turn away. “
“ no need for gifts where you are headed. “
“ is this… really all there is? “
