- Description
- Questions how and to what extent recurrent mention of Hector in TC helps to characterize Troilus as a knight. Instances and collocations of “knight,” “worthy,” related terms, and references to Hector, generally not found in Chaucer's source text, Boccaccio's "Filostrato," help to establish Troilus's "archetypal" knightly virtues.
