The play revolves around the adventures of the two gallants Claudio and Benedick at the court of Sicily.

In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare creates a violent world, in which two young people fall in love.

"Shakespeare's All's Well That Ends Well is the story of its heroine, Helen, more so than the story of Bertram, for whose love she yearns. Helen wins Bertram as her husband despite his lack of interest and higher social standing, but she finds little happiness in the victory as he shuns, deserts, and attempts to betray her. The play suggests some sympathy for Bertram. As a ward to the French king, he must remain at court while his friends go off to...
