I had to write a 15 page paper on Troilus and Criseyde, I think my topic was on the types of Love found in the book. I wish I had that paper, because I spent weeks on it...Anyway, I think it traumatized me so much, I barely remember much of anything about the book, except that it was surprisingly funny. I hope I'm not wrong, but I believe there is a part where the two almost die in each others' arms kind of like Romeo and Juliet, but they just wake up and have sex. Or something equally ridiculous as that. It's very melodramatic to the point of campy. And I like camp :)
