Summary "Périclès" by William Shakespeare is a tragedy written in the late 16th century. The play follows the adventures of the titular character, Prince Périclès of Tyre, as he navigates through a tumultuous series of events, including love, loss, and the search for his family. As Périclès travels from one kingdom to another, he encounters a range of characters and challenges, making for a compelling tale of fortune and misfortune. The opening of "Périclès" sets the stage with the character Gower, who introduces the audience to the world of the play. The narrative begins in Antioch, where Périclès is drawn into a deadly game involving King Antiochus and his daughter. He must solve a riddle, the answer to which could lead to his demise should he fail. This establishes the themes of danger and intrigue early on, as Périclès discovers the twisted nature of Antiochus's incestuous desires. Despite the peril, Périclès demonstrates bravery and nobility, determined to pursue his quest for love amidst the growing threats against him. The stage is thus set for the unfolding drama of Périclès's life and the trials he will face. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
