Love and Death in "Troilus and Criseyde."
- Published
- Chaucer Review 3.1 (1968): 1-11.
- Description
- Explores the imagery of nature and death in TC, arguing that Criseyde is "representative of a principle of life" and "best understood in terms of her cyclical or seasonal progression through the poem." Pandarus is associated with mutability, and Troilus, with death and the "little death" of sex, although he is "best understood in what may be seen as an ascending spiral."
