Flores agrees but Piro disagrees, making this the disagreement. Flores’s main conclusion is that Malory’s portrayal of Gawain is incoherent. On the other hand, Piro provides an explanation for Gawain’s behavior, implying that the depiction is coherent.

Like (C) and (E), Flores agrees with this and Piro doesn’t express an opinion. Piro acknowledges that this might be true, but doesn’t really commit either way.

Like (B) and (E), Flores agrees, but Piro neither agrees nor disagrees. Flores says that Gawain swings from hero to criminal because of how different sources depicted him, implying that he was sometimes depicted as a hero. Piro is ambivalent about Flores’s claims about sources.

Both speakers agree with this. Their disagreement is about whether Gawain’s alternating behavior amounts to an incoherent depiction of the character, or if it instead has a good explanation within the story.

Like (B) and (C), Flores agrees but Piro has no opinion. The only thing Piro says about Malory’s sources is that Flores might be correct: in other words, the sources might vary regarding Gawain’s role. This still leaves open the possibility that the sources don’t actually vary.
