D. romantic love

The Knight's Tale

by Geoffrey Chaucer (excerpt)

It's not our prison that caused me to cry.

But I was wounded lately through the eye

Down to my heart, and that my bane will be.

The beauty of the lady that I see

There in that garden, pacing to and fro,

Is cause of all my crying and my woe.

I know not if she's woman or goddess;

But Venus she is verily, I guess.

    Answer: C. platonic love

    In platonic love, there is the love of physical beauty and the contemplation of the ideal beauty. This kind of love praises the lady beloved as an ideal woman who would make the knight stronger and more honorable.
