Books 1-4 record events consecutively, with little or no inference of simultaneity of action, and Book 5 shifts abruptly to an &quot;outside-narrator time sequence&quot; whereby the &quot;time streams&quot; of the characters cross and overlap, helping to create sympathy, evoke irony, and &quot;effectively depict the dissolution of love.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argues in Freudian terms that dreams in TC disclose psychological aspects of the characters. Criseyde&#039;s dream (II, 925-31), added by Chaucer to his source, Boccaccio&#039;s &quot;Filostrato,&quot; indicates her desire for ravishment and marks her early submission to Troilus&#039;s pursuit. Troilus&#039;s two &quot;anxiety&quot; dreams (in Book V), especially the second--a &quot;primal scene&quot; nightmare--and its variations from the version in &quot;Filostrato,&quot; &quot;point in the direction of shaping Troilus as an Oedipal figure.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
