Troilus and Cressida

Troilus and Cressida, a play by William Shakespeare, is referred to tragedies after the first post-mortem editions. It contains both tragic and ironic and comic motives. Troilus and Cressida is untypical tragedy in the sense that the main character (Troilus) doesn’t die, but the play finishes with bad events for the characters: murder of Hector and destruction of love between the main heroes. It was called not a tragedy, but a historic chronic in author’s lifetime editions.
