| Publication | NEWGEN TROVE BOOKS |
The Winter’s Tale is often categorised as a comedy written by Shakespeare, arguably in his latter days, due to the unending supply of comic elements and a happy ending. But looking at the intense psychological drama in the first three acts, critics have categorised it as a problem play. It has the characteristics of both. The jealous King of Sicilia, Leontes, falsely accuses his wife Hermione of infidelity and romantic association with his best friend, Polixenes, the King of Bohemia. Polixenes escapes to Sicilia when Camillo, a Sicilian Lord who was sent to poison Polixenes, instead warns him and flees with him. Meanwhile, Leontes imprisons Hermione where she gives birth to a baby daughter and dies. Leontes exiles his new-born daughter Perdita instructing Lord Antigonus the husband of Paulina, who was a loyal friend of the queen, to abandon the baby in a desolate place. Perdita is raised by a shepherd and his son for sixteen years and finally falls in love with Florizel, son of Polixenes. Camillo, longing for his native land, conspires to send Florizel and Perdita to Sicilia so that he gets a chance to go back to Sicilia when Polixenes goes chasing the eloped lovers. Finally, the families reconcile, with Leontes begging Polixenes for forgiveness and the happy reunion of the abandoned princess with her father. This play is regarded as one of Shakespeare’s final plays, but not as well known or popular as the other romances. But similar to the theme of other romances, namely, Pericles, Cymbeline and The Tempest, The Winter’s Tale is also primarily a family drama. Jealousy, loss and forgiveness are seen as the ingredients of misery, repentance and suffering on the watch glass of a king who has wronged his family as a husband and father.
