- Description
- Zeikowitz articulates the "largely unnarrated 'ocular logic' of the exchanges between Troilus and Pandarus" in Book 1 of TC and "teases out the subtle homoeroticism underlying their interaction." The essay focuses on the cinematic technique of "suturing," whereby the audience is drawn into a character's perspective without initially being aware of the point of view.
