About this book

Unlock the more straightforward side of The Winter's Tale with this concise and insightful summary and analysis! This engaging summary presents an analysis of The Winter's Tale by William Shakespeare, a so-called 'problem play' that is believed to be one of the last works he ever wrote. It tells the story of Leontes, King of Sicily, who comes to (mistakenly) believe that his wife Hermione is having an affair with his friend Polixenes, King of Bohemia. After attempting to have Polixenes killed, he publicly accuses Hermione of adultery and banishes their newborn daughter. However, he comes to his senses after the apparent deaths of both Hermione and their young son, and spends the remainder of the play trying to atone for his actions. William Shakespeare is considered one of the greatest playwrights in English literary history, and the popularity of his works remains undiminished even today, several centuries after his death.Find out everything you need to know about The Winter's Tale in a fraction of the time!
