- Description
- Revisiting his own "Chaucer and the Poets: An Essay on Troilus and Criseyde," Wetherbee argues that Criseyde is in many ways a more complex, mature, and heroic character than is Troilus. Troilus, the narrator of TC, and especially the narrator of Henryson's "Testament of Cresseid" exhibit wounded masculine vanity by refusing to acknowledge Criseyde as an individuated self or to understand the precarious nature of her plight.
