Abstract
Troilus and Cressida is a dark, satirical drama set during the Trojan War. The love affair between Troilus and Cressida unfolds against a backdrop of political manipulation and disillusioned heroism. Shakespeare challenges traditional ideas of honour and romance, presenting a cynical view of war, loyalty, and human motives.
