Summary "Troilus ja Cressida" by William Shakespeare is a tragic play written in the early 17th century. The story revolves around the turbulent love affair between Troilus, a young prince of Troy, and Cressida, a beautiful captive woman. Set against the backdrop of the Trojan War, the play explores themes of love, honor, and betrayal through its complex characters and their relationships. At the start of "Troilus ja Cressida," we are introduced to the dire situation of the Trojan War, with various Trojan and Greek characters set to take the stage. Troilus expresses his inner turmoil about the war and his feelings for Cressida, while Pandarus, his friend and Cressida’s uncle, attempts to play the role of a matchmaker. The opening interactions set the scene for conflicts not only between armies but also among personal desires and the harsh realities of war, hinting at the tragic outcomes that will follow. As Troilus longs for Cressida, the external battles of the Trojan War loom, intertwining personal ambitions and collective conflict in a rich tapestry of human emotion and strife.
