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 avoid women for three years to pursue study and fasting. Their oath crumbles when the Princess of France and her ladies arrive, sparking romantic entanglements. Through disguises, mistaken identities, and witty wordplay, the men pursue the women—only to face an unconventional ending when sudden news forces the ladies to demand
a year's proof of devotion before any weddings can proceed. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
