The Winter's Tale by William Shakespeare
"The Winter's Tale" by William Shakespeare is a play originally published in 1623. When King Leontes becomes consumed by baseless jealousy, he accuses his pregnant wife of infidelity and sets in motion a tragic chain of events that tears his family apart. A baby is abandoned, a kingdom mourns, and sixteen years pass. What begins as intense psychological drama transforms into a tale of shepherds, disguises, and young love, leading toward reconciliation
and the possibility of redemption. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
