The Knights Tale Part III

In Part III, the thought of love and war are extremely prevalent. One could see the differences between Palamon and his opposer in which temple they went to the night before the fight. Palamon seems to be Chaucer's example of extreme love, since he prays to Venus for love. He wants to win this fight for love. Whereas Arcite visits the temple of Mars, he prays to win this fight just for victory. This could be Chaucer's way of mocking two types of men in his day? The two extremes, complete infatuation or complete anger/violence.
