Description
Traces references to Christian, pagan, courtly, and Boethian love throughout TC, aligning them references to fate, Providence, and Fortune, and arguing that they lead in progressive fashion to the realization that Troilus's constancy mirrors divine love, even though Fortune is "the way the world goes," connecting and counterpointing felicity and vanity.
