Comments from the Editor
On the tenth day following Criseyde’s departure, Troilus and Pandarus make their way to the gate, anxiously awaiting her return. As the day grows darker, Troilus’ desperation intensifies, and he begins to experience illusions. The darkness of the day serves as a metaphor for Troilus’ deepening sense of hopelessness and the illusions symbolize his fragmented state of mind.
