- Description
- Examines the "conditions that allow for [Criseyde's] betrayal" in TC, including the "structure of courtship" which establishes the duplicity of the relationship between the lovers, the deceptions upon which it is based, and the fundamental ambiguities of human discourse, rife with lies, delusions, performances, and misplaced faith.
