    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Allusions to and echoes of Boethius and Dante reinforce Chaucer&#039;s concern with the inevitability of sorrow and its relationship to joy in TC. The structure of the poem  collaborates with these devices to convey the transitory nature of worldly joy that culminates in Troilus&#039;s &quot;Particular Judgment&quot;--his rise to the sphere of Saturnand Mercury&#039;s taking of him.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer&#039;s &quot;portrayal of Troilus as a soliloquizing, swooning  lover . . . reads like a fulsome apologia&quot; for Richard II. TC reflects Richard&#039;s relationship with Robert De Vere and reveals his &quot;sexless marriage&quot; with Anne. SNT and LGW defend sexless marriage, whereas Absolon of MilT is Chaucer&#039;s exposé of &quot;the comic pretenses of failed masculinity.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Pandarus &quot;roughly corresponds&quot; to Langland&#039;s Recklessness and Criseyde to his Lady Meed.]]></dcterms:description>
