Helena, a ward of the Countess of Rousillion, falls in love with the Countess's son, Bertram. Daughter of a famous doctor, and a skilled physician in her own right, Helena cures the King of France-who feared he was dying-and he grants her Bertram's hand as a reward. Bertram, however, offended by the inequality of the marriage, sets off for war, swearing he will not live with his wife until she can present him with a son, and with his own ring-two tasks which he believes impossible. However with the aid of a bed trick, Helena fulfils his tasks, Bertram realises the error of his ways, and they are reconciled.

Piece Epithetical Books All's Well That Ends Well

Another play in which a heroine who would be admirable and appealing except for her misguided affections pursues an (exceptionally) unworthy love-interest with pathetic devotion. Bertram's distaste for his forced marriage is noxiously expressed, and, yet, I felt some sympathy for his feelings of repulsion for Helen's sticky, fawning devotion. Still, in his dealings with Diana he continues to prove himself a truly loathsome fellow who thoroughly deserves a dire fate. Which makes his happily ever

Time for another run-through of Shakespeare's plays. The last time I did this, I wrote an article for the Mercury News about reading all the plays in alphabetical order, which meant I had to start with All's Well That Ends Well. I called it one of Shakespeare's worst plays, which rather shocked an academic friend of mine who is uneasy about such critical judgments. So I promised myself that this time around I wouldn't start out with such a harshly prejudicial point of view.I still hold that if

How do you go about reviewing a work that must have been described, analysed and generally pulled apart by thousands of readers, writers, scholars and professional reviewers? Well, as I see it, the only thing to do is give a very personal opinion.Shakespeare is, of course, our national bard, our cultural hero, if we write in English. So, the reviewer better beware if he says anything untoward. But I set myself a target and I'm determined to hit it. The target? As a writer, to read and review at

Where can you go after writing Hamlet? Only into the bitterest depths of irony and nihilism, apparently. Alls Well That Ends Well is part of the problem play trilogy that followed soon after the Danish Princes demise and Malvolios humiliation, and it appears on the surface to be less twisted than both Troilus and Cressida and Measure for Measure. But dont be fooled. Shakespeare plays one of his greatest tricks on the audience here, achieving something difficult and deeply unsatisfying, which

Not 3 1/2, 4I enjoyed this play more than I thought I would, partly due to the excellent production of it I watched. Certainly more to think about here than the previous two comedies I read.I. Alls Well That Ends WellThe name of this play has become almost a hackneyed phrase in the English language. Its a phrase that hackneyed me has used countless times, since I became familiar with it so many decades ago. But for all that, its not one of Shakespeares more popular plays, and is seldom

Helena loves Bertram. Bertram does not love Helena. Helena saves king, King marries them. Bertram runs away. Helena chases. He takes up sex with virgins. She tricks him. In the end Bertram loves Helena, and All's Well That Ends Well.

Read More Book Reviews on my blog It's Good To Read Summary:This play, not one of Shakespeares most popular, is based on a story from Boccaccios Decameron. It is dark for a comedy, and the ending is far from a laugh-a-minute. It is also considered an unlucky play. The first recorded performance at Drury Lane in 1741 was postponed to early 1742 due to illness of the actor playing the King. The first night, Helena fainted, and The King took ill again and later died. This run seemingly also had
