talk about love while others talk about war. The Art of Courtly Love dominated the ideals of love‚ while The Knights Code of Chivalry was the predominant way of thinking of warriors. Many of Chaucer’s tales deal with these two sets of thinking‚ thus different characters deal with them in different ways.

Men generally escape slightly less scathed‚ provided that the groom doesn’t start mentioning the word ’retro’ while planning the groomsmen’s attire. Outwardly we grumble
