About the Book

William Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida, written in or around 1602, is referred to as one of Shakespeare's most troublesome plays, as its tone shifts fiercely, and the characters are introduced in a solid way, delivering them challenging to comprehend. The story opens quite a while into the Trojan War. A prince of the Trojans and the son of the Trojan lord Priam, Troilus is charmed by Cressida, a charismatic local girl. Cressida's father, the minister Calchas, has deserted the Greeks. Cressida has up until this point rebuked Troilus' advances, thus, Troilus reaches out to her uncle Pandarus to request his help in persuading Cressida to be with him. Pandarus endeavors to influence Cressida by commending Troilus more than the mightiest Trojan champions when she can hear him, however, she seems unaffected. Nonetheless, she uncovers she is drawn to Troilus. In the camp of the Greek armed force, the well-known legend Achilles won't leave his tent, where he is residing with Patroclus. Even though the war is continuing and Achilles is their most noteworthy contender, he denies stepping outside. Ulysses and the other Greek pioneers, Agamemnon and Nestor assemble to talk about this issue, which is weakening the whole Greek armed force because of an absence of discipline and a hazardous feeling of disorder. Ulysses reports that the best fighter on the Trojan side, Hector, has quite recently given a test to the Greeks for a one-on-one duel. He recommends them to appeal to Achilles' vanity by choosing another person to confront Hector, inferring that Achilles isn't their most skilled fighter. They hold a lottery and select Ajax, a strong fighter yet not in Achilles' league. In the Trojan camp, the military leaders discuss finishing the conflict by returning the Greek princess Helen, whom their ruler Paris abducted, starting the threats. Troilus is alarmed by this conversation, and in the wake of scolding his kindred Trojans, they choose to keep her, as sending her home currently would be disrespectful. The prophet Cassandra illuminates the Trojans that the Greeks will ultimately set Troy ablaze yet Troilus persuades everybody to continue to battle. Troilus goes to Cressida's home, where he is met by Pandarus, who accompanies them to the room to consummate their love. Once alone, Troilus and Cressida vow their adoration to one another, promising to be devoted. In the interim, Cressida's father, Calchas makes an arrangement to trade his daughter with the Greeks for a Trojan detainee. The following morning, Diomedes shows up and tells Cressida about her destiny. Showing up at the Greek camp, every one of the Greek military pioneers lines up to welcome Cressida, making passes and touching her. Cressida answers heartily to everyone, except Ulysses, who, considering her a wanton lady, won't touch her. Ajax has become proud and puffed-up after he was determined to battle Hector which has the ideal impact of making Achilles envious. The Greeks and Trojans assemble to watch Hector and Ajax battle, yet the battle is delayed when Hector finds that Ajax is half-Troja...
