Gawain's shield depicts five virtues - friendship, generosity, courtesy, chastity, and piety. By keeping the green girdle a secret, Gawain values his reputation over honesty. Gawain is a dynamic character who learns humility after failing to live up to all the virtues, as he lacks complete chastity when tempted by the host's wife.
