Troilus and Cressida Act III

III.i Another one? This particular play seems to have a superfluity of comic relief/fool characters.

III.i.57 Nell? Really?

III.i.113 Beauty be damned. Helen is the wit that launched a thousand ships!

III.ii.14 I can just picture Pandarus rolling his eyes here.

III.ii.18-19 the "imaginary relish" seems to be exactly Troilus' speciality.

III.ii.39 Fitting that Troilus sees Cressida as something not to be looked at directly, or too clearly.

III.ii.72-77 Eyes become a theme here, appertaining to the above note.

III.ii.190 Yes, prophet he was, but not here: in III.ii.20

III.iii.1-16 God, what a windbag!

III.iii.20 and anal retentive about his pentameter too.

III.iii.47-8 "Pride hath no other glass to show itself but pride"--It's a measure of Shakespeare's epigrammatic mastery that it takes something this awesome for me to even bother quoting it. If I noted every memorable line, I would not be a man, but amanuensis . . .

III.iii.77 exactly as Ulysses said.

III.iii.99 One mention of reflections in a scene is an epigram. Two is a coincidence. three makes a theme.

III.iii This scene felt a little wordy, and I'm not certain that I got everything out of it that was there . . .
