"Le conte d'hiver" by William Shakespeare is a tragedy written in the early 17th century. The play spans a time frame of sixteen years and explores themes of jealousy, redemption, and the passage of time through intertwined stories of love and betrayal. The main characters include Leontes, the king of Sicilia, whose unfounded jealousy sets off a tragic chain of events, and Hermione, his wrongfully accused wife. At the start of the play, we are introduced to the friendship between Leontes and Polixenes, the king of Bohemia. As Polixenes visits Sicilia, Leontes's suspicion that Hermione is having an affair with him grows uncontrollably. The first act sets the stage for the unfolding drama, as Leontes's jealousy leads him to falsely accuse Hermione and isolate her from their son, Mamilius. The audience can sense the impending tragedy as the characters' fates begin to intertwine under the weight of Leontes's misguided suspicion and the consequences of his actions.

Reading ease score: 78.4 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read.
