- Description
- Hector, Antigone, and Deiphebus are all instrumental to the development of the poem, particularly to Troilus' initial elevation on the wheel of Fortune. Though their personal integrity remains unblemished, each is manipulated by Fortune into using this integrity unwittingly to further the love of Troilus and Criseyde.
