Unlock the more straightforward side of Troilus and Cressida with this concise and insightful summary and analysis!
This engaging summary presents an analysis of Troilus and Cressida by William Shakespeare, which is set during the Trojan War, one of the key episodes in Greek mythology. It traces the progress of the conflict as both sides refuse to back down regardless of the human cost of their obstinacy; meanwhile, the Trojan prince Troilus attempts to woo Cressida, but their initial happiness is soon shattered by her apparent duplicity. With its subversion of the mythological tradition and frequent shifts in tone, Troilus and Cressida is one of the most philosophical and thought-provoking plays by William Shakespeare, who is widely considered to be one of the most influential writers in the history of the English language.
