In spite of not really understanding about half the dialog, this play moved me as none of the other comedies of Shakespeare have. I was so angry with Leontes! Cheering for Paulina! Horrified at the tragic aspects of the tale, and surprised at the twist in the end. I look forward to seeing this one performed. I read this due to fond memories (of reading it closely at St. Johns) and because the Shakespeare theatre (in dc) is using this place as material for its annual court case with supreme court judge and other fancy people. I believe the trial will be of Paulina, who conceals Hermione's death after the bad king Leontes falsely accuses her of adultery with his best friend. Still have fondness for this and i am open to the Winter's tale aspect (wild tale / unrealistic but to make a strong fairy tale type point) but still... the outlandishness of it did not wear well overall. No reason given for crazy jealousy, just zero to ten in anger all of the sudden and from that the deaths and tragedy all flow. but not tragedy, right? as the characters are sort of bailed out in the end. Stil... not quite the best. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

King Leontes of Sicilia is seized by sudden and terrible jealousy of his wife Hermione, whom he accuses of adultery. He believes the child Hermione is bearing was fathered by his friend Polixenes, and when the baby girl is born he orders her to be taken to some wild place and left to die. Though Hermione's child escapes death, Leontes' cruelty has terrible consequences. Loss paves the way for reunion, and life and hope are born out of desolation and despair. One of the late romances in Shakespeare's canon, this complex work is at times tragic, at times humorous, but always entertaining and enlightening. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
