Types of love within Act 2 Scene 2
- Love of war
  - 'the mere perdition of the turkish fleet, every man put himself into triumph.'
  - Typical of the time period, men were usually taught to worship the idea of war because it represents patriotism and the idea of masculinity
  - Metaphor and personification, men cannot physically put themselves into triumph, but by giving it human qualities it makes it look like a tangible thing that men can achieve by doing certain actions.
