In The Winter's Tale, a jealous king brings tragedy to his family when he suspects that his wife has bore a son to his friend, king of a neighboring country.
Though his suspicions are unwarranted, King Leontes unfairly puts his wife, Hermione, on trial for adultery and sends his baby daughter to her death.
He orders the child to be left in the wilderness, but a shepherd finds her and raises her as his own. Meanwhile, his elder son dies and the combined trauma results in the death of his wife.
Years later, Leontes regrets his actions. When the rescued daughter comes of age, she falls in love with the son of her real father's former friend.
The play draws together the distinctly Shakespearean threads of tragedy and romance, ultimately ending on a hopeful note in which all are reconciled.
Famous English playwright William Shakespeare’s play The Winter’s Tale was written c. 1609-11. After decades of success in the theater, Shakespeare was near the end of his career when he wrote The Winter’s Tale. In it, he explores the many sides of marriage, parenthood, kingship, innocence, guilt, and forgiveness-but most of all, the miracle of time’s triumph and the healing powers of love.
The drama The Winter’s Tale contains many powerful themes, including art and nature, as art sometimes reveals the true nature of people or things; time’s passage, as time allows people to change, so Leontes recognizes his mistake; and death and rebirth, as Leontes’s jealousy kills, but when he repents he sees rebirth.

Oh please! read the play instead! The video's already divided into the four acts, time, art/nature, death and rebirth. It sounds like you just want to copy this for a school assignment. I was a teenager once, too. Do the assignment, you'll be grateful you did one day.
good info but the dramatic background music makes it difficult to listen to.

Shakespeare discovered a crazy ridiculous plot doesn't matter if you have likable characters (and one good villain) 11:40 they should have been right, but mostly people just want a happy ending.
Damn you got to learn how to speak in one volume ... it hurts and annoys my ears while listening to you because you shout one second and whisper the other ... still good video
No. monotone would put people to sleep. And he'd have to slow down quite a bit. Just adjust the balance on your phone/computer
Stopped watching as soon as he started talking
and yet, you stopped to make a comment. Ha, I wished I stopped reading comments as soon as I read the first!
