SHAKESPEARE and NAVARRE
Love's Labour's Lost is one of William
Shakespeare's early comedies, believed to have been written in the mid-1590s
for a performance at the Inns of Court before Queen Elizabeth I. It follows the
King of Navarre and his three companions as they attempt to forswear the
company of women for three years of study and fasting, and their subsequent
infatuation with the Princess of Aquitaine and her ladies. In an untraditional
ending for a comedy, the play closes with the death of the Princess's father,
and all weddings are delayed for a year. The play draws on themes of masculine
love and desire, reckoning and rationalization, and reality versus fantasy.
