Perfect mixture of turbulent emotional and light-hearted comedy, William Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale is a timeless study of jealousy and desire. The story revolves around Leontes as he is convinced that Hermione, his wife, has an affair with Polixenes. He makes up his mind and remains stubborn. There is no proof and evidence that can change Leontes�s false firm belief in Hermione�s infidelity.
As Hermione is put on trial, Leontes addresses men to get an oracle from Delphos, a central concern of the early part of the play is what might count as definitive proof or evidence in Hermione�s trial.
What evidence will be strong enough to prove the truth, to alter Leontes� belief? And how can anyone coax Leontes to change his mind?

Author Info
William Shakespeare was a poet, actor, and playwright from England. He was born on April 26, 1564 in Stratford- Avon. Shakespeare is often regarded as the greatest English-language writer and the world's greatest dramatist. He is referred to as the Bard of Avon and England's national poet. During his lifetime, Shakespeare authored around 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and a few other works. His plays have been adopted and performed more than any other playwright's and have been translated into every major living language.
Between 1589 and 1613, Shakespeare penned the majority of his well-known works. His early works primarily consisted of comedies and histories, and they are still considered among the best in both categories.
William Shakespeare’s The Winter Tale, was published in 1623 in the First Folio. It was firstly grouped among the comedic play, but some modern editors relabelled it as one of Shakespeare’s Late Romance as the first three acts contain intense psychological drama, while the last two acts are comedic and ends happily.
