- Description
- Confronts the humor and "problematic sexual biases evident” in TC. Focuses on the consummation scene of Book III and the ways that "#MeToo activism" can inform a conversational pedagogy for engaging with the text, including analysis of the narrator's "victim-blaming" of Criseyde, Pandarus's "surreptitious coercion," and Troilus's susceptibility to biased gender assumptions--all viewed in light of comparative examples drawn from modern media and legal proceedings.
