To Wait or to Act?: 'Troilus' II, 954
- Published
- Chaucer Review 17 (1982): 62-64.
- Description
- Pandarus tells Troilus "don thyn hood," which usually has been intrepreted to mean "put on your hat," signifying that the prince should delay action. But "hood" had a secondary meaning of warrior's helmut, and the sense of "prepare yourself for battle" is more appropriate to this situation.
