"Troilus and Criseyde" by Geoffrey Chaucer is a story from the 1300s about love and what happens when people fall for each other during a war. It's about Troilus, a prince, who used to not care about love but then falls hard for Criseyde, a woman dealing with her dad betraying their city. The story looks at how love can bring great happiness but also a lot of sadness, especially when things get tough because everyone is in the middle of the Trojan War. The way the story starts makes you feel like something bad is going to happen, as the person telling the story asks for help to tell this sad tale about these two lovers.
