- Two camps in the play only seem radically opposed
- Both camps share a common language and perspective- demonstrate women as passive
- Cressida loses her own identity and value by giving up her own voice
- Cressida suppresses her own independent voice
- Apart from being a piece in a war between men, Cressida doesn't seem to have much value in the patriarchal society in which she lives in
- 'things won are undone'- fears she will be rejected. Believes in the lack of worth society has placed on her
- Value in the play seems redundant because of how willing people in the play are to fight each other- disregard to human life- probably because there is a war on
- Value is important in regards to men- what women want is not important
- Self divide- Cressida seems virtuous but she betrays her love and gets with someone else- Is she acting out and not valuing herself because society doesn't value her.
