Depictions of Gawain & Hair Color
Thinking about how Gawain's depiction either makes him a redhead or gives him dark hair (outside of the depictions drawing from the 2021 Green Knight movie), and how there's a distinct difference in characterization that accompanies each one. Personally I think I prefer the depictions of him with red hair, because of the way Chretien likes to write him as a paragon of Reason. Fighting back against redhead stereotypes and all that. Also idk, I just like gingers.
