Destiny in Chaucer's Troilus

Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde is a tragedy, strongly deterministic in tone, the action of which is presided over by a complex and inescapable destiny. Professor Kittredge has already given an excellent exposition of the fate which hangs over the chief characters and over the doomed city of Troy, and has analyzed the sources of the feeling that we are “looking on at a tragedy that we are powerless to check or to avert.” And Professor Root, remarking upon the high seriousness and the moral import of Chaucer's poem, says:He has called Troilus a tragedy; and it is a tragedy in the mediæval sense of the term—the story of a man cast down by adverse fortune from great prosperity and high estate into misery and wretchedness. The five books into which he has disposed his story suggests the five acts of the tragic drama. There is, moreover, a quite tragic insistence on the idea of destiny.

THE ORIGIN OF THE SWASTIKA SYMBOL.—The subject of the origin of the Swastika symbol has given rise to protracted controversy. The latest contribution, to the question is that of Harit Krishna Deb in the Journal of the Asiatic Society, Bengal, 1921, No. 3. He suggests that it is a modification of the mode of expressing the ancient Hindu syllable Om, which is used in religious rites. This, a pothook with square ends, was duplicated, one across the other, to form the Swastika, meaning “bringer of blessings,” which goes back in India to the seventh century, when it was used as a cattle-mark. Another reference is well before 528 B.C. It is found on gold leaf on a vase with relics of Buddha, and it appears on the Edicts of Asoka (273–232 B.C.). The earliest example known is on a spindle whorl from the third city of Troy, about 1800 B.C., and it is frequent in Greek vases about 600 B.C.
