The Complete Troilus and Cressida

Troilus And Cressida Retells The Epic Story Of The Iliad But With An Altered Focus.The Tale Of These Lovers (And Pandarus) Was Told Earlier By Both Homer And Geoffrey Chaucer. In Shakespeare However The Epic Proportions Are Reduced To The Quotidian Details Of Human Passion Including Quarrels And Misunderstandings Which Reduce The Protagonists To A Pitying Level Including Calculation And Manipulation (Mowat Xv). The Result Has Been Called Satire; Unfortunately It Is Satire Without Bite Or Humor.
