"Turhaa lemmen touhua" by William Shakespeare is a comedic play written in the late 16th to early 17th century. The story revolves around King Ferdinand of Navarre, along with his companions Biron, Longaville, and Dumaine, who mockingly vow to give up women and pursue scholarly pursuits for three years. However, their resolve is hilariously tested when they find themselves falling for a group of visiting women, led by the Princess of France. The opening of the play sets the stage in Navarre's royal park, where the king and his friends declare their commitment to a life of learning, free from female distractions. They sign a promise, despite the comedic objections from Biron, who essentially questions the wisdom of their vow while expressing a keen desire for romance. The scene then transitions as they learn about the arrival of the French princess and her ladies, setting the wheels in motion for romantic entanglements and humorous misunderstandings that define the unfolding plot.

Reading ease score: 53.3 (10th to 12th grade). Somewhat difficult to read.
