- Description
- Far from viewing herself as a "passive pawn," Criseyde sees herself as actively fleeing from an unhealthy relationship with Troilus to a healthy one with Diomedes. At the end of TC, she is no longer the cynical widow of Book 2, but instead a more "interesting" individual who has learned to liberate her own desires and hopes to do so once again with a more worthy partner.
