Cymbeline
Shakespeare wrote one of his most plot-heavy late romances — a wild story spanning Britain, Rome, and a cave in Wales that somehow pulls together into a cascade of recognitions and reconciliations.
“Fear no more the heat o' the sun, nor the furious winter's rages.”
Why It Matters
Shakespeare wrote one of his most plot-heavy late romances — a wild story spanning Britain, Rome, and a cave in Wales that somehow pulls together into a cascade of recognitions and reconciliations. It is an underperformed gem with some of his finest verse, including the song "Fear no more the heat o' the sun." The play shows Shakespeare at his most experimental, mixing tragedy, comedy, and fairy tale.
The 
Take
Personal reviewKinda fun scheming, the decapitation was a nice touch. But none of the characters were THAT interesting
