"Locrine" by Shakespeare is a tragic play likely written during the early 17th century. The story revolves around Locrine, the son of King Brutus, who grapples with themes of love, betrayal, and revenge as he navigates family dynamics and the political landscape of Britain. The narrative unfolds against a backdrop of conflict with rival forces, including the Scythians, and showcases the interplay between personal relationships and royal duties. At the start of the play, we are introduced to a significant character, Brutus, who is nearing the end of his life and ruminating on his legacy. His death sets the stage for the ensuing power struggles among his sons, particularly between Locrine and his siblings. Locrine is depicted as a noble character torn between his love for Gwendoline and his attraction to Estrild, a situation that ultimately catalyzes conflict and leads to tragic consequences. The opening establishes an atmosphere filled with foreboding, as themes of revenge and fate are introduced through the prologue and the dialogue, hinting at the turbulent events to come.

Reading ease score: 77.8 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read.
