25 reviews for Troilus and Cressida

  1. Vranda Kaushik

    I found it a bit depressing, but still, a powerful portrayal of human nature. Very thought-provoking.

  2. Niyansh Bindal

    The play is a bit long and dense, but the themes it explores are still relevant today. Overall, a good read.

  3. Rithvik Sahini

    I feel like this could have been shorter but overall, it’s good and you should read it.

  4. Ayushman Singh

    I struggled with the verse at first, but once I got into the rhythm, I was hooked. The ending left me feeling a bit empty, though.

  5. Nishant Choudhury Sarania

    Shakespeare at his finest! Love, war, deceit – this play has it all. Highly recommend.

  6. Ojaswani Gupta

    A powerful exploration of love and war. Some scenes were difficult to follow, but overall, a thought-provoking experience.

  7. Prashant Thakur

    Found it a little slow-paced in places. However, the dialogue is sharp and witty. It’s a pretty good book overall.

  8. Nikita Sawhney

    A great addition to the Pelican Shakespeare series! Explores the darker sides of human nature in a compelling way.

  9. Sagar

    A must-read for serious Shakespeare scholars. The themes are still relevant. A timeless tragedy.

  10. Rishabh Dwivedi

    A dark and unsettling play. It doesn’t offer easy answers, but it raises important questions about love, honor, and war.

  11. Sreya Ghosh

    This is a well written play, that i feel is slightly overrated. I would have liked it more with a better ending.

  12. Gargi Chaurasia

    Troilus and Cressida is a great play and this is a very good edition of it. I’d recommend it.

  13. Anshika Agarwal

    Not my favorite Shakespeare play, but the Pelican edition is well-edited and accessible. Cressida’s actions were frustrating.

  14. Nancy Prasad

    A challenging read, but ultimately rewarding. The characters are complex and the themes are still relevant today. The footnotes were helpful.

  15. Mayank Sharma

    Braunmuller and Orgel did a great job with the notes. This play is a hidden gem in the Shakespearean canon. I would highly recommend!

  16. Anshuman Vipul

    A complex and cynical take on the Trojan War. Not for everyone, but definitely worth exploring if you’re a Shakespeare fan.

  17. Keshav Bedi

    This Pelican edition is excellent. The introduction provided valuable context for understanding the play’s historical and cultural significance.

  18. Pritha Mandal

    Good version of the play. the editors really did a good job on this.

  19. Ankur Kumar

    Cressida’s betrayal was heartbreaking. The play explores difficult themes with unflinching honesty. Very well done.

  20. Abhishek Anand

    I appreciated the editors’ notes, but the play itself didn’t resonate with me as much as other Shakespearean works.

  21. Ankit Singh Gurjar

    The characters were morally grey, which made the story compelling. Some of the language was hard to understand.

  22. Sahil Ahuja

    Definitely a challenging read, but the rewards are great. The Pelican edition is well-annotated and helps to follow along.

  23. Premsi Raman T

    Shakespeare’s language is beautiful, but the plot felt a bit meandering at times. Still, worth reading for the insights into human nature.

  24. Dhruv Chandra

    I enjoyed the play, although the ending was somewhat abrupt. The character of Pandarus was particularly interesting.

  25. Amay Lahoti

    I was expecting a romance but got betrayal. The writing itself is great, though I’m not sure if I enjoyed the story that much.
