Ilustration As Books Cymbeline
Cymbeline tells the story of a British king, Cymbeline, and his three children, presented as though they are in a fairy tale. The secret marriage of Cymbeline’s daughter, Imogen, triggers much of the action, which includes villainous slander, homicidal jealousy, cross-gender disguise, a deathlike trance, and the appearance of Jupiter in a vision.Cymbeline displays unusually powerful emotions with a tremendous charge. Like some of Shakespeare’s other late work—especially The Winter’s Tale and The Tempest—it is an improbable story lifted into a nearly mythic realm.

Imagine that characters from previous plays have ganged up on Shakespeare and threatened to sue him for libel--clearly, they would never behave in the way he suggests. They demand the real story be told. He offers a compromise: rather than go to the trouble and expense of rewrites and retractions, he will write a special play, just for them, and not interfere at all in the execution of plot. In fact, the deus ex machina gets to be a character too, since it was threatening to report him to OSHAI've read this play three times, and I've found that the longer since I last read it, the better I imagine it to be. In theory, it's a great play: the political situation, involving the tribute an emerging British nation must pay to a "Roman" empire has interesting Jacobean parallels in continental politics involving a "Roman" Church; the theological implications, the way Shakespeare finds a place for compassion in the merciless world of Lear's gods and flies, is instructive and attractive; and
weird, convoluted and the plot is all over the place - but it's honestly amazing; I enjoyed this way more than I prolly should have (maybe because of the weirdness); even though it employed the usual comedic devices it felt quite different (maybe because they were applied a little more self-aware than in the previous comedies); def. one of my favorite comedies so far
I read this play as a fairy tale, and why not? There's a wicked stepmother, an oppressed princess, a creepy suitor, and a secret marriage. As always, Shakespeare's phrases compel me to laugh, sigh, sing, groan, and shake my head in wonder. [he] took such sorrow that he quit being.Oh melancholy! Who ever get could sound thy bottom?Poison in the ear, that staple of Hamlet, makes a metaphorical appearance when Imogen's supposed infidelity is reported to her husband. The husband's servant doubts it.
This was strange chanceA narrow lane, an old man, and two boys.For one who is able to temporarily suspend disbelief, this is a lovely romance by the Bard that, of course, ends in joy.
"I cannot sing. I'll weep, and word it with thee,For notes of sorrow out of tune are worseThan priests and fanes that lie."- William Shakespeare, CymbelineNot a great Shakespeare play. It has a few good lines and seems to follow the path cut by earlier jealousy plays like The Winter's Tale and Othello. I think, if grouped with these two, it is the runt of the jealous litter. My favorite quote about this play (or this point in Shakespeare's life) comes from Lytton Strachey, who said it is
Book Review 3 out of 5 stars to Cymbeline, a play written in 1611 by William Shakespeare. I read this during a Shakespeare course in college and then watched a film version. My review covers both. There seems to be a very dark aura surrounding the characters and the setting. All of the characters seem to be angry with each other, as though they do not like each other. Cymbeline didnt get along with his wife nor with his daughter. Cymbeline as suppose to be an anxious and frustrated man, yet
