3) The hermit rightfully tells Perceval to be more charitable in his ways, he is in dire need of being a better person and has yet to do so. He has almost never acted charitably in his quest for the grail and he has absolutely acted egocentrically in his goals. The most charitable act discussed in class was that of Jesus Christ giving up his life for the sins of all of us. Perceval can not ever get the grail becuase of all of his inpurities.
4)Gawain also goes on a quest of sorts a journey much like all of the Knights we have read about do. His is similar to Percevals in that most of his acts are done under a separate name or under falsehoods. After meeting his mother he does not give up his identity and does not act as charitably as possible. He only decides to fight when he has to defend his honor and seems to have a love interest like the one Perceval has with Blancheflore.
