Troïlus et Cressida by William Shakespeare
"Troïlus et Cressida" by William Shakespeare is a play written in 1602. Set during the Trojan War, it weaves two stories: a doomed love affair between Trojan prince Troilus and Cressida, and the Greek leaders' struggle to coax proud Achilles back into battle against Hector. Shifting between bawdy comedy and tragic darkness, the play challenges audiences to understand how they should respond to its characters. Critics have labeled it one of Shakespeare's
enigmatic "problem plays." (This is an automatically generated summary.)
