Rendition As Books All's Well That Ends Well

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.

Crit Epithetical Books All's Well That Ends Well

I just can't bring myself to love this play, although I believe I understand what Shakespeare is doing here. He takes a fairy tale plot, adds a fiercely realistic setting (complete with a pointless war and friendly fire), adds a desperately mismatched romantic couple (Helena, a commoner and a control-freak, a woman of great passion and intelligence, obsessively smitten with the noble Bertram, a proud, shallow boy), tops it off by giving the comedy a mindlessly optimistic title and then spending

Huh. "Problem Play." Well, it's certainly problematic! Not his best, by far, in terms of dialogue, but really interesting when it comes to inverting traditional gender roles and casting doubt onto common tropes of romantic comedies.I kind of think this is a more mature version of Two Gentlemen of Verona. (Spoilers for both plays)(view spoiler)[In both you've got a crazily obsessed woman going after a man when she should have turned around and walked away.Proteus has to be stopped from raping

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.

All's Well That Ends Well ... I guess?A lot in this play is problematic as hell but I still admire the work because it was short and simple and written by the master of words Shakespeare.Overall, an interesting and witty read.

Woe!RANDOM GUY: Hey, the king's sick!HELENA: Well, I am a physician's daughter...KING: You have cured me, Helena! I'll give you anything you want. What would that be? Gold? Pretty baubles? A new dress?HELENA: Bertram.KING: Well, I am king. So be it!BETRAM: AH HELL NO. *runs away to fight with the Duke of Florence*HELENA: Woe! Bertram will never be my

Middleton and Shakespeare here are blended;This problem play doth suffer too much rhyme.From first to last required excessive time.Whether "well" or no, I'm glad 'tis ended!

I love Shakespeare but this one was just not my favorite.
