- Description
- In TC 1, the narrator's initial confidence that Troilus is an exemplary figure conflicts with the reader's growing awareness of the narrator's limited knowledge of love and its conventions, paralleling Troilus's own movement from confidence to uncertainty. As a result, the reader is provoked to seek to understand love more fully.
