	Entente, Will, and Paganism in Troilus and Criseyde
		Criseyde wonders about Troilus' motives, just as he wondered about hers (3.123-124, for instance); the word is used to express Troilus' desires (4.1220); and Criseyde finds out that Troilus' motives are pure, just as he finds out that hers are (3.1229, for instance).
		Neither Troilus nor Criseyde takes much of an active role in the affair: the initial interest on Troilus' part is communicated by Pandarus, meetings are arranged by Pandarus, and Pandarus even supplies motivation that seems to be lacking when the situation does not advance quickly enough to suit him.
		Diomede wins Criseyde from the absent Troilus in the middle of book five (and the narrator uses the phrase "wan of," or won from in battle), in part due to his ability to motivate himself to act, rather than needing to rely on Pandarus.

		Troilus and Cressida were characters from English legend, not Greek mythology; in de-romanticizing their story he is thus addressing the tendency in his own era to see men as predominately true and women as predominately false.
		Troilus considers his passion for Cressida “womanish”: his love for her keeps him from fully committing to the battlefield.
		Troilus wonders how actually being with Cressida could ever compare to imagining her; Cressida delves into her own language constantly, wondering whether she should defer the act with Troilus forever so as to hold on to the promise of their words of love.

		Troilus, the "essentialist" in matters concerning his own love, the weakly romantic courtier who has been transformed simply by the anticipation of love, is in this scene the more worldly and cynical of the two.
		Troilus' tragedy is his failure to distinguish between the impulses of the body and those of the spirit.

	[No title]
		Troilus and Pandarus are false coiners, in a sense, though they are hardly as guilty as Master Adam, because they take a creature, the coin of another Authority, and try the one to remint it and the other to efface it in order to make it current for Troilus, his idealism, and his passion.
		Manifestly, for example, when we first see him, Troilus disdains the love of women (1.190-203); and although his motives are not those of Ovid's Narcissus, he is also vain, or, at {111/112} the least, presumptuous, assuming an invulnerability (1.204-05) which does indeed suggest that "se non noverit" ("he does not know himself"; Met.
