William Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida, written in or around 1602, is referred to as one of Shakespeare's most troublesome plays, as its tone shifts fiercely, and the characters are introduced in a solid way, delivering them challenging to comprehend. The story opens quite a while into the Trojan War. A prince of the Trojans and the son of the Trojan lord Priam, Troilus is charmed by Cressida, a charismatic local girl. Cressida's father, the minister Calchas, has deserted the Greeks. Showing up at the Greek camp, every one of the Greek military pioneers lines up to welcome Cressida, making passes and touching her. During the celebration, Ulysses carries Troilus to Cressida's tent to show him as she flirts with Diomedes and consents to sleep with him. Troilus is heartbroken. Seeing their most prominent legend hauled through the mud unsettles the Trojans-with the exception of the irate Troilus, who promises to annihilate both Achilles and his Greek comrades. He illuminates them that he intends to pass every one of his numerous sicknesses to the crowd in his will, and they will all before long endure and bite the dust like him.
