Supporting Characters --------------------- ADAM, Oliver's servant AMIENS, banished Duke's courtier CHARLES, Frederick's wrestler CORIN, a shepherd DENNIS, Oliver's servant JAQUES DE BOYS, brother of Orlando and Oliver LE BEAU, courtier of the banished Duke SIR OLIVER MARTEXT, a vicar WILLIAM, a country fellow (Hymen, Lords, Pages, Attendants) (PLACE: Oliver's house, the Duke Frederick's palace, Arden Forest.) BACKGROUND. No printed edition of the play appears before that of the first Folio (1623). It was performed in 1599 or 1600. The play is a dramatization of a pastoral tale called "Rosalynde, Euphuses' Golden Legacie," written by Thomas Lodge in 1590. This tale, in turn, is based on an early English poem "The Tale of Gamelyn," which has at times (though not at present) been attributed to Chaucer. ACT BY ACT ANALYSIS ------------------- ACT I. Orlando, the younger son of Sir Rowland de Boys, rebels at being kept virtual prisoner by his elder brother, Oliver. He plans to leave, but Oliver, who hates him and wishes to keep his patrimony, arranges with Charles, wrestler for the Duke Frederick, to kill or cripple the youth (i). Orlando, however, manages to throw and injure the redoubtable fellow, and his victory is witnessed by Rosalind, daughter of the banished Duke, and her cousin Celia, daughter of the present duke, Frederick. Rosalind instantly falls in love with the young man and he with her (ii), but as soon as Orlando has left, Duke Frederick orders Rosalind banished. She plans to flee to her father in the forest, accompanied by Celia (iii). ACT II. When Duke Frederick finds his daughter gone, he orders Oliver brought before him if Orlando cannot be found, since he heard that Orlando has accompanied the girls (ii). Meanwhile Orlando has returned home and discovers that Oliver plans to murder him. He flees to Arden Forest, together with old Adam, a faithful servant (iii). Rosalind disguised as a youth, "Ganymede," and Celia as the youth's sister, "Aliena." They meet two shepherds, Corin and Silvius, and arrange to buy a shepherd's hut, a flock, and pasture (iv). In another part of the forest the banished Duke discusses the philosophizing of his melancholy courtier Jaques (i), who is being made even more than usually morose by the singing of another courtier, Amiens (v). When the Duke meets him, however, Jaques now merry, having met the clever fool, Touchstone, in the forest (vii). Meanwhile Orlando has been desperately searching for food (vi); now with drawn sword he enters the Duke's banqueting place and demands food. But the Duke meets him with unexpected kindness and welcomes him as Sir Rowland's son (vii). ACT III. Back at the court, Duke Frederick has told Oliver that if he cannot find his brother he will lose all his estates (i). While this is going on, Orlando is wandering though the forest, hanging love verses to Rosalind upon the branches of trees. Rosalind finds the verses, and finally, still in her disguise, she talks with the despondent Orlando. As "Ganymede" she offers to pose as Rosalind and to allow Orlando to practice his wooing with her (ii). While Touch- stone is planning his own romance (iii), Rosalind laments that Orlando has not come to her as he had promised (iv). Now still disguised as "Ganymede" she witnesses the love affair of Phebe and Silvius, two shepherds. Phede treats her swain coldly and "Ganymede" chides her for it, but Phebe instantly falls in love with "Ganymede." When Rosalind ("Ganymede") leaves, Phebe says that she will write the youth a letter and that Silvius must bear it (v). ACT IV. Orlando practices wooing the disguised Rosalind (i); Jaques talks with hunters in the forest (ii); Silvius delivers Phebe's letter (iii). Now a chastened Oliver finds Rosalind. While sleeping in a forest, he tells her, he was saved from the attack of a lioness by his brother Orlando. Orlando has been wounded and bears a bloody napkin as a token of the fight. Rosalind swoons, then pretends that she has been counterfeiting (iii). ACT V. Orlando and Oliver are now reconciled, and Oliver tells his brother that he has fallen in love with "Aliena," the disguised Celia. They will be married, he says, the next day. Orlando moons for his Rosalind, but "Ganymede" comforts him. She is, she says, a magician; and if Oliver marries "Aliena," Orlando will marry Rosalind. She also promises rather ambiguously to solve the love problems of the shepherd and shepherdess. Phebe promises to marry Silvius if she decides not to marry "Ganymede" (ii). Touchstone, meanwhile, is continuing his romance with Audrey (i,iii). At last Rosalind reveals her true identity. Phebe, who, of course, cannot marry the nonexistent Ganymede, promises to marry Silvius. Jaques de Boys, brother of Oliver and Orlando, now comes with the news that Duke Frederick, who has been converted and forsworn the world, has restored his brother, the banished Duke to his estates. Rosalind recites an epilogue (iv). ------------------------------------------------------------- TWELFTH NIGHT; OR, WHAT YOU WILL Cast of Characters Main Characters ORSINO, Duke of Illyria, a romantic young man. At first in love with Olivia, he eventually settles his affection on Viola. SEBASTIAN, Viola's twin brother. When Viola is dressed as a young man, she and Sebastian are often mistaken for each other. SIR TOBY BELCH, Olivia's roistering uncle. In the Falstaff tradition Sir Toby is always looking for a gull; and, except for one instance, when in a tight place he invariably lands on his feet. SIR ANDREW AGUECHEEK, the perfect fool and gull. Sir Toby uses him as his bank by promising to win him Olivia's hand. MALVOLIO, Olivia's humorless steward. Although Malvolio has sometimes been played as a heavy, semitragic character, Shakespeare obviously intends him as a comic butt. OLIVIA, a rich countess and a comparatively colorless character when viewed in relation to Viola. Orsino falls in love with her; she, in turn, falls in love with the disguised Viola; then, thinking that Sebastian is Viola, she induces him to marry her. VIOLA, one of Shakespeare's famous women. Sweet and dependent by nature, she meets the difficulties of her situation with courage. She falls in love with Orsino and eventually wins him. MARIA, Olivia's maid. A sharp, but essentially kindly woman, she confounds Malvolio with her plot. Eventually she wins Sir Toby. Supporting Characters --------------------- ANTONIO, a sea captain and associate of Sebastian FABIAN, servant to Olivia. FESTE, a clown, servant to Olivia. A SEA CAPTAIN, who befriends Viola. VALENTINE and CURIO, gentlemen attending on the Duke. (Lords, Priests, Sailors, Officers, Musicians, and other Attendants.) (PLACE: A city in Illyria, and the seacoast near it.) BACKGROUND. Performed in 1600, "Twelfth Night" was not printed until the First Folio in 1623. The sources are comparatively obscure, but the play is probably based on two tales in "Barnabe Riche, his Farewell to Military Profession" (1581). The first of these is "Apolonius and Sillus," the second, "Of Two Brethren and their Wives." "Riche's source was either Belleforest or Bandello. ACT BY ACT ANALYSIS ------------------- ACT I. Duke Orsino has been besieging the beautiful Olivia for her hand in marriage; she, however, refuses every plea of his emissaries. Ostensibly she refuses because she in mourning for her brother (i). Meanwhile, Viola and a sea captain, who have been rescued from a shipwreck, land on the coast of Illyria; and Viola believes that her twin brother Sebastian, has been lost in the wreck. Viola, defenseless, determines to disguise herself as a young man and to seek service with Orsino, who she hears is noble and generous (ii). Under the name of Cesario, she gains Orsino's favor; and, although she falls in love with Orsino herself, she consents to become his go-between with Olivia (iv). In Olivia's household the only retainer who seems to enjoy the enforced mourning for Olivia's brother is the humorless and egotistical Malvolio (v). Sir Toby Belch and his gull, Sir Andrew Aguecheek, both enjoy carousing, aided and abetted by Maria. Sir Toby is keeping his hand in Sir Andrew's pocket by promising to win Olivia for Sir Andrew (iii). Cesario (Viola) arrives to carry "his" master's pleas to Olivia; but to complicate matters, Olivia feels herself falling in love with the pseudo-page. After Cesario leaves, she sends her own ring to "him," pretending that "he" has lost it in her presence, so that "he" will be sure to return to her (v). ACT II. When Cesario receives the ring from Olivia's messenger, "he" realizes and deplores the Olivia is in love with "him" (ii). Sir Toby and Sir Andrews get drunk late at night. Maria enters and begs them to be more quiet; but when Malvolio comes in and reprimands them (including Maria) for their drunkenness, he seals his own doom: they determine to be revenged on him (iii). They forge a note which appears to have been sent by Olivia to a lover; when Malvolio receives it, he is sure that he is that lover. The note instructs him to "be opposite with a kinsman, surely with servants"; to wear yellow hose; to go cross-gartered; and to smile continually in Olivia's presence (v). Meanwhile, two events have occurred: (1) the presumably dead Sebastian turns up in Illyria with Antonio, a sea captain (i); (2) Orsino requests Cesario to carry a further message to Olivia (iv). ACT III. When Cesario arrives at Olivia's house, Olivia openly tells "him" that she loves "him"; but Cesario must, of course, ignore Olivia's advances (i). Meanwhile, the plot against Malvolio works to perfection: his strange antics in following the injunctions of the note cause him to be imprisoned in a dark room as insane (ii,iv). Sir Toby, making more mischief, foments a dual between Sir Andrew and Cesario, on the pretext that the page is a rival suitor for Olivia's hand. As the two unwilling dualists prepare to fight, Antonio rushes in and, believing that Cesario is Sebastian, prevents the dual; however, when officers seize Antonio as a former enemy to Illyria, he asks Cesario, whom he supposes to be Sebastian, for the purse which has given the young man earlier in the day (iii,iv). Upon Cesario's natural denial that "he" knows Antonio, the good captain's faith in human nature is shaken. However, Cesario, upon reflection, realizes that the name "Sebastian" has been spoken; and "he" hopes that "his" brother may be alive (iv). ACT IV. Convinced that Cesario is a coward, Sir Andrew rushes out to challenge the page; but instead of Cesario he finds Sebastian. Olivia's entrance prevents Sir Andrew from getting hurt. She, also believing Sebastian to be Cesario, desires him to grant her an interview (i). The clown Feste, pretending to be Sir Topas the Parson, baits Malvolio in his prison; then assuming his natural voice, Feste offers to obtain some paper and ink for the prisoner (ii). Olivia now convinces the not-unwilling Sebastian that he should marry her (iii). ACT V. The Duke and Cesario arrive before Olivia's home, where they meet Antonio. When Antonio again reproaches Cesario-whom he still believes Sebastian-the Duke is completely baffled by Antonio's insistence that the young man has just arrived in Illyria. Olivia enters and speaks in loving accents to Cesario. Orsino is naturally angry at what he supposes has been Cesario's treacherous attempt to win Olivia's affection; but when a priest swears that he has recently married the couple, Orsino becomes furious. Sir Andrew and Sir Toby, meanwhile, have inadvertently picked a fight with Sebastian (believing him to be Cesario) and both enter wounded and bleeding. However, when Sebastian appears almost immediately, all the principals realize that they have been dealing with two persons. Matches are made all around: Sir Toby has married Maria because she has invented the plot against Malvolio; Orsino offers to marry Viola. Everyone is happy except poor Malvolio, who vows revenge on the whole group (i). ------------------------------------------------------------- ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL Cast of Characters Main Characters BERTRAM, the young Count of Rousillon, proves a cold, faithless husband, and a tricky liar before he sees the light. HELENA DE NARBON goes to great lengths of trickery herself in order to win her husband, substituting herself for Bertram's mistress in a midnight tryst. PAROLLES, "a very tainted fellow," is a bad influence upon his young master, Bertram, but his calumnies catch up with him. DIANA CAPILET, helps Helena secure her husband by grossly decieving Betram. THE WIDOW CAPILET, Diana's mother, also helps in the plot to secure Bertram for Helena. THE COUNTESS OF ROSILLON, though she loves her son, cannot approve of the way he treats Helena. THE KING OF FRANCE is cured by Helena and proves his gratitude. LAFUE, an old lord, almost succeeds in marrying his daughter to Bertram. Supporting Characters --------------------- DUKE OF FLOURENCE TWO FRENCH LORDS LAVACHE, a clown, servant to the Countess Roussillon Mariana. MARIANA, a neighbor of neighbor of the Widow Capilet. (Lords, Officers, Soldiers, French and Flourentine.) (PLACE: Rousillon, Paris, Flourence, and Marseilles.) BACKGROUND: This play is probably one recast by Shakespeare about 1601 after being originally written considerably earlier. The earliest printed version is that of the First Folio of 1623. The source for the main plot is William Painters "Palace of Pleasure" (1566), which is in turn based on a novel from Boccaccio's "Decameron." ACT BY ACT ANALYSIS ------------------- ACT I. Bertram, the young Count of Rousillon, departs for the King's court, leaving behind his mother and Helena, his mother's ward. Helena is the daughter of a famous physician, now dead, and has been left in the Countess' care. Though she feels that she is hopelessly beneath him, Helena loves Bertram (i). While Bertram is being received cordially by the King (ii), Helena confesses her love to the countess. She also unfolds a plan. The King is suffering from an ulcer which has been pronounced incurable by all doctors in the country, but Helena possesses a wonderful medicine to treat the condition. She now proposes to go to the King, and at the same time be near Bertram (iii). ACT II. When Helena arrives and proposes to cure the King, he at first objects; but he finally accepts her treatment on the condition that she will forfeit her life if it fails. As a reward, if the cure is successful, she may ask the favor of choosing any husband she wishes (i). The King is cured, and when he summons his lords to grant Helena her request, she, of course chooses Bertram. But Bertram will have none of her. Though the King forces him to marry her, he immediately plans to run away to fight in the Tuscan wars. Parolles, his rascally follower, agrees with false heartiness to all his master says (iii) and is deputized to tell Helena that she will be sent to Rousillon, but that her husband will have none of her (iv). Bertram takes his leave from Helena very coldly and departs for Flourence, the rogue Parolles accompanying him (v). ACT III. The Duke of Flourence, who is hard pressed for fighting men (i), welcomes Bertram and makes him general of his horse troops (iii). Meanwhile the scorned Helena returns sadly to Rousillon. She shows the Countess a letter from Bertram setting forth the impossible conditions under which the young lord will be reconciled to her as a wife. He will never accept her until she has possession of a ring which he has never removed from his finger and until she has conceived a child by him- conditions seem utterly impossible of forfillment (ii). Helena, though, has a plan. She slips away from Rousillon, leaving a letter for the Countess (iv), and journeys to Flourence as a pilgrim. Outside the city walls she meets the Widow Capilet and her daughter Diana, from whom she learns that Bertram has been busily attempting to seduce the daughter (v). Helena concocts a scheme with the widow. Diana shall lead Bertram on until she secures the ring from his finger. Then she shall make an appointment with the faithless husband in her chamber; but at the allotted time, Helena shall substitute herself for Diana in the darkness (vii). Meanwhile a lighter touch has been added by the actions of Parolles. He has made himself unpopular with the Flourentine soldiers, who wish to expose him as a coward and rogue. They propose to Bertram that they will test him by pretending to be enemies and capturing the fellow (vi). ACT IV. That night Parolles goes out into the darkness on a mission of pretending danger, planning to stroll about for a time, then to return with a story of wild encounters and deeds of bravery. When the conspiring Flourentines seize him, his bubble of bravery instantly collapses (i), and Bertram is allowed to witness his rascally follower's cowardice (iii). But before this occurs, Bertram visits Diana, who secures the ring from him and makes an appointment with him for midnight. During the night, she says, while they are in bed together, she will give him a ring in return (ii). After he has kept the appointment Bertram makes plans to return to France. The war is now over, and he feels that the letters of high recommendation that he bears from the Duke of Flourence will soften the King's anger against him. Helena, he is told, is dead (iii), but she is actually arranging to follow her husband to Marseilles where she plans to confront him (iv). Back in Rousillon, Lafeu tells the Countess that Helena is dead. The King, he says, has forgiven Bertram and now plans a marriage between the young man and Lafeu's daughter (v). ACT V. Helena, accompanied by Diana and the widow, not finding Bertram in Marseilles, prepares to follow him to Rousillon, whence they learn he has gone. Diana sends a letter to proceed them (i). The King, his coming announced by Lafeu (ii), arrives at Rousillon and begins to plan the new marriage for Bertram, whom he has forgiven. Lafeu asks for a pledge supplied him by the supposed Diana during their night of love. All are shocked when the ring is recognized as Helena's, given her by the King himself. None of them believes Bertram's flimsy story of how he came by it-he says the ring was thrown to him from a casement window by a noble lady and the King has Bertram arrested. He is again thoroughly enraged with the young man, even to the point of suspecting him of murdering Helena. Now Diana's letter arrives from Marseilles. In it Diana claims that Bertram has promised to marry her if his wife died; now that this has happened, she demands he make good his promise. Diana follows close upon the heels of the letter and confronts Bertram. Now the youth is forced to confess giving his ring to Diana and accepting a ring in return, but he accuses the girl of being a common camp follower. The King demands that Diana tell where she got Helena's ring-a demand enforced by the threat of death if she refuses to tell. Diana answers that her mother will give her bail, and the widow enters with Helena. She has fulfilled Bertram's impossible demands, and the now thoroughly chastened youth begs her forgiveness. The King brings the action to a close, reciting an epilogue that "All is well ended" (iii). ------------------------------------------------------------- PERICLES, PRINCE OF TYRE Cast of Characters Main Characters PERICLES, Prince of Tyre, undergoes many journeys and troubles before he is reunited with his wife and daughter. THASIA, daughter of Simonides and wife of Pericles, finally leaves the temple of Diana to join her husband and daughter. MARINA, Pericles lost daughter, survives murder attempt and manages to maintain her virtue even in a brothel. ANTIOCHUS, king of Antioch, whose incestuous relationship with his daughter is discovered by Pericles in a riddle. HELICANUS is chosen to rule Tyre in Pericles absence. SIMONIDES, king of Pentapolis and Pericles' father-in-law. CLEON, governor of Tarsus, is shocked by his wife's supposed murder of Marina, but makes no attempt to punish her for it. DIONYZA, Cleon's wife, attempts to murder the child she has promised to protect and rear. LYSIMACHUS, governor of Mytinlene, cannot possess Marina in a brothel, but finally possesses her as a wife. CERIMON, a lord of Ephesus, through his potent medicines, revives the dead queen Thasia. BOULT, the Pander's servant, after attempting to ravish Marina, finally decides to help her. Supporting Characters --------------------- A BAWD, the wife of the Pander LYCHORIDA, Marina's nurse THE DAUGHTER OF ANTIOCHUS MARSHAL DIANA, the godess PANDER, a whoremaster ESCANES, a lord of Tyre PHILEMON, Cerimons's servant GOWAR, as chorus THALIARD, commissioned by LEONINE, a servant, commissioned Antiochus to murder to murder Marina Pericles (Lords, Ladies, Knights, Gentlemen, Sailors, Pirates, Fishermen, and Messengers) (PLACE: Tyre, Tarus, Pentapolis, Mytilene, Ephesus and the temple of Diana there, Shipboard between Pentapolis and Tarus and off Mytilene.) BACKGROUND. "Pericles" was first published in a very corrupt quarto edition in 1609 but was not included in either the First Folio edition of 1623 or the second of 1632. The work was probably first composed and presented in 1607 or 1608. Most scholars agree that "Pericles" is only partly the work of Shakespeare and most agree in assigning him the last three acts. The play is a dramatization of the story "Apolonius of Tyre," a very well-known littery theme. ACT BY ACT ANALYSIS ------------------- ACT I. Each of the acts and some of the scenes are introduced by an actor representing Gower, the English poet, who presents an epilogue together with (in some cases) a dumb show. Antiochus, king of Antioch, has given prospective suitors for the hand of his daughter a riddle to solve. Those who fail to solve the riddle must die. Pericles comes to solve the riddle and from it he discovers that Antiochus is engaged in an incestuous relationship with his daughter. Knowing that Antiochus will not willingly let him live after he has guessed this, Pericles flees back to Tyre. He guessed rightly; for Antiochus immediately appoints Thaliard, an Antiochan lord, to murder Pericles. Finding that his quarry has flown, Antiochus sends Thaliard after the departed prince (i). Arrived safely in Tyre, Pericles fears some such plot as Antiochus has planned. Helicanus-one of Pericles' lords whom he takes in confidence-fears the same thing and suggests that Pericles go traveling until Antiochus has lost his rage or is reported dead. Leaving his government in the hands of Helicanus (ii), Pericles departs ahead of Thaliard, who plans to tell Antiochus that Pericles has died at sea (iii). Pericles lands at poverty-stricken Tarus, bringing provisions to relieve the distressed inhabitants, an act which Cleon, the governor, is highly grateful (iv). ACT II. Here Pericles tarries for a time, and a grateful people erect a statue in his honor. But when a messenger brings news of Thaliards visit to Tyre, Pericles believes it dangerous to stay longer in Tarus, and journeys on to Pentapolis where he loses his fleet in a shipwreck and barely manages to stagger ashore alive. He learns that the king of Pentapolis, Simonides, is planning a tourney for the hand of his daughter; and after rescuing his armor from the nets of the fishermen whom he meets upon the shore, Pericles plans to enter the tourney (i). After passing in review before the king and his daughter (ii), Pericles wins the tourney and attends a banquet, at which it becomes evident that Thasia, the daughter, thinks highly of him (iii). After pretending anger that such a penniless fellow should presume to court his daughter (an act which Pericles, fearing reprisals from the king, denies) Simonides the joins hands of the young couple in marriage (v). Meanwhile, back in Tyre, news has reached the court that Antiochus and his daughter have both died. The Tyrean lords, not knowing whether Pericles is alive or dead, wish to appoint Helicanus king. But Helicanus insists that they search for their missing lord for another year before they take such a step. (iv). ACT III. Gowar tells us in the prologue that Pericles has married the beautiful Thasia and that she is with a child. When receives a message telling him of the state affairs of Tyre and the necessity of his immediate return, he leaves for home, accompanied by his wife. In a storm at sea Thasia gives birth to a daughter but dies during her delivery, and is buried at sea in a well-caulked coffin. Since they are near Tarus, Pericles runs for this port, since he thinks his newborn daughter cannot survive the long journey back to Tyre (i). But in Ephesus there lives one Cerimon, uncanny skilled in medicine, and when the dead queens coffin floats ashore here, Cerimon revives her (ii). Since Thaisa despairs of ever seeing Pericles again, she leaves the world and enters the temple of Diana as a priestess (iv). Pericles, who has in the meantime reached Tarus safely, leaves his daughter, whom he names Marina for her sea birth, with his friend Cleon, while he sails back to reclaim his throne (iii). ACT IV. Left in the care of Cleon and his wife, Marina grows into such a beautiful girl, so skilled in all the arts, that she quite eclipses Philoten, Cleon's daughter. Dionyza, Philoten's mother, in a fury of jealousy, plans to murder Marina and commissions a servant, Leonine, to do the deed. But before the fellow can commit the act, Marina is seized by pirates who carry her away (i) to Mytilene, where they sell her to a brothel keeper, who immediately has his servant sent to cry this new virgin ware upon the streets (ii). Back in Tarus, Dionyza confesses her evil deed to her husband, who, though does condone the act, makes no attempt to punish his wife (iii). They build a monument to the girl which Gower and a dumb show reveal as having been visited by the grief- stricken father, who puts on a sackcloth and makes hermit's vows as he returns to his ship. Far from dead, Marina is actually preaching divinity in the brothel (v). The governor, who comes disguised to the brothel, is struck by the beauty and innocence of the girl and gives her gold without making any advances. Even Boult, the pander's villainous servant, who is given permission by his master to ravish the stubborn girl, is moved by her pleas (and the gold she gives him). She persuades him to remove her from the brothel and install her as a teacher of the fine arts in a decent household (vi). ACT V. Gowar tells us that Marina succeeds in her purpose and is installed as a teacher-an occupation by which she is earning a good deal of money for her master, the pander. Pericles, who is in his grief refuses to speak to anyone, now visits Mytilene, and Lysimachus puts off in his barge to the Prince's ship. Upon being told of Pericles affliction, Lysimachus who is so skilled in gentle ways, be brought in an attempt to cheer Pericles. She comes, tells Pericles her story; and he recognizes his daughter. The joyous father, hearing the music of the spheres, falls asleep and sees a vision of the godess Diana, who tells him to visit her temple at Ephesus (i). After granting Lysimachus the hand of Marina upon the return from Ephesus, Pericles goes to the temple (ii). Here he tells his story to the assembled votaresses, and Thasia faints when she hears it. A joyous reunion is effected, and Gowar brings an epilogue telling us that we have witnessed the triumph of virtue and the defeat of vice. Antiochus and his daughter, he says, have been struck down and Cleon and his daughter killed by their own people when their deed became public (iii). uck
