Today, we'll learn about the last Trojan prince, the brother of Hector and Paris. His name is Troilus. Troilus is the youngest Trojan prince.
In Shakespeare's play, Troilus is madly in love with a girl named Cressida. Cressida, like everybody else in this play, appears to be normal. But throughout the course of the play, she becomes more and more suspicious.... You're excited to find out what she does, right?
Troilus acts like an angsty teenager a lot of the time. He's either madly fawning over Cressida, or whining because he's not with her. He throws a few tantrums, and their pretty legitimate tantrums...
Anyway, their relationship is being orchestrated by Pandarus. Pandarus is kind of like that overbearing, flamboyant aunt we all have. You know, the one that leaves lipstick on your forehead? Anyway, she is the show's matchmaker. She's pretty obnoxious, but really hilarious.
Here are Troilus and Cressida being all lovey dovey:
Aren't they sweet? Anyway, those are our protagonists. You'll be hearing more from them later. :-)
