- Description
- Examines joy in TC--looking forward to it in Books 1 and 2, experiencing it in Book 3, and remembering it in Books 4 and --as aspects of Troilus's identity and of the poem itself. Anticipated joy shapes the characterization of Troilus as a courtly lover, and the "memory of joy makes the ending of the text tragic."
