Cymbeline
(eBook)
Description
Easily one of the most fanciful and strange of Shakespeare's plays, "Cymbeline" takes place in Ancient Britain, where King Cymbeline rules under the watchful eye of Rome. When his daughter Imogen marries the low-born Posthumus, the enraged King banishes his new son-in-law to Italy, where Posthumus - bragging of his wife's fidelity - enters into a wager with his friend Iachimo that she will stay true to him. Upon traveling to Britain to test her (and discovering that Imogen is devoted to her new husband), Iachimo arranges to slip into Imogen's chamber, steal a bracelet given to her by Posthumus and return to Italy to boast of his conquest. Posthumus, believing his wife to have been unfaithful, then makes arrangements to have Imogen murdered for her disloyalty. Becoming more and more wild and strange as it proceeds, the plot includes everything from political intrigue to bizarre plot twists, secret identities and "magic" potions...and is as close to a fairy tale as anything Shakespeare ever created. "Cymbeline" is presented here in its original and unabridged format.
