Summary "Cymbeline: Tragédie" by William Shakespeare is a play written in the early 17th century. This work is a blend of elements from tragedy and romance, featuring themes of love, loyalty, deception, and resilience. The story revolves around Imogen, the daughter of King Cymbeline, who faces various trials stemming from her secret marriage to Posthumus, her banished husband, and the complex intrigues surrounding royal power and personal honor. The opening of Cymbeline introduces a tense atmosphere in the court of Britain, where King Cymbeline is distraught over his daughter Imogen's secret marriage to Posthumus. The first scene establishes the king's turmoil and the backdrop of political intrigue, while Imogen expresses her devotion to her husband despite the king's fury. As the plot unfolds, characters like Cloten, the queen, and Iachimo are introduced, hinting at the conflicts and deceptions that will follow. The dynamics of Imogen's relationships with her father, her husband, and her adversaries lay the groundwork for the unfolding drama, setting a tone of melancholy and strife that permeates the narrative.
