Another great quote showing Gawain's resolve (from Tolkien's translation):

"The knight ever made good cheer, saying,

‘Why should I be dismayed?

Of doom the fair or drear

by a man must be assayed.’"

I have a theory that GatGK is a treatise on Medieval contracts and notarization. Thank you for this beautiful summary of the myth and its sources.
