Can someone in what way is the character of sir gawain different from other epic heroes such as beowulf?

first of all, dante wanted to write an account of the search for spiritual atonement and salvation, and this desire drew heavily from dante's own experiences. dante was living in exile while writing inferno and so, much like his poetic counterpart, he felt like he had lost his way and needed direction.

explanation:

i think descriptive but i'm not 100% sure.. sorry.
