Troilus ja Cressida by William Shakespeare
"Troilus ja Cressida" by William Shakespeare is a play written in 1602. Set during the Trojan War, it weaves together two conflicting narratives: a doomed love affair between Trojan prince Troilus and Cressida, and the Greek commanders' struggle to motivate the proud Achilles to face Hector in battle. The tone shifts between bawdy comedy and tragic darkness, leaving audiences uncertain how to respond. This ambiguity has earned it the label of a
"problem play," sparking ongoing critical debate about its meaning. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
