Troilus and Cressida

Lauded as one of Shakespeare's problem plays, Troilus and Cressida is notable for its unique mix of comedy and drama. It recounts the seventh year of the Trojan War, culminating in Hector s defeat at the hand of Achilles. Labeled as a tragedy, comedy, and history play, Troilus and Cressida remains one of Shakespeare s most vexing works and continues to resist scholarly classification to this day.
