The Two Gentlemen of Verona by William Shakespeare

"The Two Gentlemen of Verona" by William Shakespeare is a comedy believed to have been written between 1589 and 1593. Two best friends from Verona travel to Milan, where romantic entanglements test their loyalty. When both men fall in love with the same woman, friendship collides with desire, leading to betrayal and deception. Meanwhile, a forsaken lover disguises herself as a boy to follow her unfaithful beloved. This early Shakespearean work explores the conflict between friendship and love, featuring memorable characters including a clownish servant and his scene-stealing dog.
