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 nobles vow to avoid women for three years to focus on study. Their oath crumbles when the Princess of France arrives with her ladies, sparking romance and infatuation. Through disguises, switched letters, and witty deceptions, the couples pursue each other. But this comedy defies convention—a sudden death interrupts the festivities, forcing the men
to prove their love's sincerity by waiting a year before marriage. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
