This paper examines the play, "Troilus and Cressida," as a critique on the mythology of the Trojan War, and as a larger comment on the problems of human desire and self-centered actions. There are three kinds of reasoning offered by three different characters, all of which make claims to a method for judgement, a method for values, and as a rationale for acting. Shakespeare's then portrays each character in contradiction, acting in self-serving ways, thus prolonging the war, trapped in a cycle of unresolvable issues that are based on the conflicts of human motivation. 6 pgs.
