Knight's Tale

What I immediately enjoyed about part three was Theseus's construction of what in my mind appears as a football stadium. Immediately surrounding the arena are the temples to Venus, Mars, and Diana who represent love/sex, war, and chastity (although I more think of woman power). This is just interesting given that love and war are controlling the situation, and Emelye just wants to live her life and be a virgin. I think it's also interesting that they each pray to different temples, with Arcite praying to the god of war. Clearly it works out for him, but I think this shows what was more important to him in this scene.
