Troilus' False Heaven
- Published
- Medieval Perspectives 4-5 (1989-90): 217-27.
- Description
- Allusions to Christian heaven and hell suggest the inadequacy of the love of Troilus and Criseyde. Troilus's end, contrary to his Boethian source, indicates that he has no free will. It is unlikely that he achieves either Christian or pagan salvation.
