The Winter’s Tale

“The Winter’s Tale” is one of the last plays by William Shakespeare.

(1) At the beginning Polixenes, the King of Bohemia, is paying a long visit to his old friend, King Leontes of Sicily. (2) __________________ he feels that he is ready to return to Bohemia. Leontes asks him to stay longer but Polixenes is missing home and says “no”. (3) __________________ Leontes’ wife, Hermione, also asks him to stay and he does because he can’t say “no” to a woman.

(4) __________________ Leontes begins to think that his wife has been unfaithful to him with his friend. He orders his servant Camillio to poison Polixenes. Instead, Camillio warns Polixenes and both of them run away and leave Hermione and her little boy Mamillius to face King Leontes’s displeasure.

Leontes puts Hermione into prison where she gives birth to their daughter. Leontes orders to take the baby away from its mother and to put Hermione on trial¹. Sadly, her son Mamillius dies from heartbreak. At this news Hermione falls down and appears to die too. These events are a shock for Leontes and he begins to understand how wrong he has been.

(5) __________________ a servant places the baby girl on a beach in Bohemia. A shepherd² and his son discover the child and take her to their home. Sixteen years pass and King Polixenes’ son, Florizel, falls in love with the shepherd’s adopted daughter, Perdita. (6) __________________ Perdita organizes a feast for the shepherds and other villagers. Polixenes and Camillio come to the feast in disguise¹. There they meet Autolycus, a man who (7) __________________ has tricked Perdita’s brother and stolen his money. When Florizel announces that he is going to marry Perdita, Polixenes takes off his disguise. He is very angry to hear that his son wants to marry a shepherd’s daughter.

(8) __________________ Camillo and Autolycus help Florizel and Perdita to run away to Sicily. Here they find themselves at the court of King Leontes and things become even more complicated. Who are Perdita’s true parents? Will the two kings be friends again? And what is the secret of the statue of Hermione?
