Thoughts:

Weird. No wonder this is one of the problem plays. It's weird with two very distinct plots. We have Troilus and Cressida and their mangled relationship. We also have the troubles within the greek army, especially Achilles. And that whole last section with all the battles, was very lost on me.

I never really knew what to feel about the characters.

One of the reasons that I had wanted to read it was because it was popular during the Vietnam era due to the cynical view of people's immorality and disilusionment but it was just confused during the whole damn thing.

And i think that's all I have to say.
