How Potiphar’s wife differ from Green Knight’s wife?

Their actions of indecency and their temptation of the protagonists of the stories were motivated by two different reasons. The wife of Potiphar was known for her corrupted reputation; her actions were propelled by her own desires. On the other hand, the wife of the Green Knight was obliged to her mission of testing the chivalry of Sir Gawain, so her actions were justified. Although the manners were stimulated by different principles, they both give a sense of disgust; hence, the author of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight was simply portraying and reflecting the problems of adultery found in the Bible.
