Your Actions Have Consequences.

             In sir Gowther we see Gowther in the beginning as someone who was ruthless since birth. He would torture, murder and burn churches. He finds out that he is the spawn of a demon. As the story goes on we see him wanting to change and he goes to the pope to repent and he has to eat from the mouths of dogs and to remain silent until God has forgiven him. This is interesting because the penance that he receives seems almost weak. He can still harm people if he wanted to, he can still fight. 

             Sir Gowther ends up fighting in a war with an Emperor because the Emperor wouldn't let this Sultan marry his daughter who is unable to speak. Sir Gwother ends up getting hurt and this causes the daughter to become distressed and falls ill. Sir Gowther recovers and she wakes up with the ability to speak and told him that god has forgiven his sins so he can speak and eat without the dogs. This is extremely different from most of the stories we have read so far because the main character is going through a something that changes who he is at the end. Sir Gowther goes from being the worst human being and burning down churches raping someone to becoming saint-like by the end. He spend the rest of his life helping people that are in need. This is a complete 180 form who he was in the beginning.
