Love's Labour's Lost by William Shakespeare
"Love's Labour's Lost" by William Shakespeare is a comedy written in the mid-1590s. The King of Navarre and three companions vow to abandon women's company for three years to focus on study. Their pledge crumbles when the Princess of France and her ladies arrive on diplomatic business, sparking romantic entanglements. Through disguises, mistaken identities, and verbal wit, the men pursue the women they desire. But this comedy defies convention—unexpected news interrupts the
courtship, forcing all weddings to wait a year while love's true constancy faces its test. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
