We close out our exploration of creating character through line breaks by looking at Sir Gawain from The Table Round and The Siege Perilous by our own Emily C. A. Snyder. We're breaking down how a character can go from complete end-stopped thoughts, to open-ended insecurity, as well as how caesura and broken lines can define a character's arc. Strap in as we look at one character...and then tell us how you're using line endings, caesura and schwumpf in your own work!

\nPLEASE NOTE: Sir Gawain suffers sexual coersion and two of his speeches touch briefly on his feelings as he puzzles out what he experienced. These are flagged during the episode, so that the listener can skip if they prefer.
