Add to ORKGGeoffrey Chaucer\u27s Troilus and Criseide, written almost 600 years ago, continues to delight those who read it and continues to invite new avenues of interpretation. Among the aspects of the poem which have been carefully studied are the enigma of the heroine\u27s personality and the reasons for her betrayal of Troilus. Critics differ markedly in their opinions on these matters. My thesis suggests that Chaucer\u27s use of the traditional medieval mirror image helps to clarify Criseide\u27s character and her function within the poem. Criseide reflects a glimpse of an absolute ideal for Troilus; the image is transitory and illusive because it is secular. She also mirrors the ambiguous qualities of human light and darkness
