Shakespeare used the septet form of rhyme scheme in "Troilus and Cressida" to give a sense of complexity and innovation to the play's language. This rhyme scheme allows for a more intricate and varied verse structure, enhancing the poetic and dramatic effect of the text. Additionally, the use of this form may have been a deliberate choice by Shakespeare to experiment with different styles and challenge traditional poetic conventions.

It depends what you think is distasteful. Did Shakespeare make dirty jokes? Absolutely. Some plays, like Romeo and Juliet, Measure for Measure, and Troilus and Cressida, have more than others.

1 answer


Four: Troilus and Cressida, Romeo and Juliet, Henry V and Henry VIII. Of course, "Chorus" is just a generic name for the person speaking the prologues or epilogues--the actor does not have a character as such.

1 answer

Plays connected with ancient Greece are Timon of Athens, Pericles, The Comedy of Errors, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Troilus and Cressida. The plot of Troilus and Cressida is taken from Homer's Iliad but its treatment is much different from Homer's. It has nothing to do with mythology and everything to do with realpolitik. Theseus and Hippolyta in Midsummer Night's Dream are legendary Greek heroes, but they are not treated that way in the play.

The only Greek god who appears in a Shakespeare play is Hymen the god of marriage who performs the marriages in As You Like It. The god Jupiter appears in Cymbeline but he is of course Roman and not Greek.

Shakespeare did not write his plays with a view to making them fit into categories. He actually didn't care much for categories, and was always trying new ideas. As a result, the characteristics which we might adopt for a category of play may not fit. One of the most difficult plays to categorize is Troilus and Cressida. Unlike the comedies, the lovers do not get together and marry at the end; instead they are separated. Unlike the tragedies, there is not a heap of corpses at the end and the main characters are all alive at the end. Unlike the histories it is based on legend. What do you make of that? Some scholars have invented a new category just so they can put Troilus and Cressida in it.

At the time of the Trojan expedition the king of Troy was Priam.

Priam had fifty sons and nineteen daughters - including Hector, Paris, Troilus, Polyxena, Cassandra and Creusa - and had originally borne the name Podarces.

When Troy falls Priam is butchered by Neoptolemus, the son of Achilles. The story is told in all its brutality by both Vergil and Shakespeare.

Shakespeare also presents an old and infirm Priam in his play Troilus and Cressida.

This is a quotation from a speech by Ulysses in the little-known play Troilus and Cressida, Act IV Scene 5. Ulysses is talking about Cressida, who has just been kissed by most of the high command of the Greek army. Ulysses is calling her a loose woman. But Cressida has little choice in the matter; she is little more than a slave, and her owner Diomedes permits this kissing to go on. Cressida would just as soon kiss nobody, and gets out of kissing Ulysses. That might be why he's in such a bad temper: sour grapes.

Shakespeare wrote most of his tragedies between 1599 and 1608. Only Titus Andronicus and Romeo and Juliet were not written in this period. Even the plays placed with the comedies which he wrote in this period were darker: Troilus and Cressida, Measure for Measure and All's Well that Ends Well.
