Sinossi

Play description  
ACT I  
Scene 1. Archidamus, a Bohemian lord, is warmly appreciative of the hospitality given to his King,  
Polixenes, by King Leontes of Sicilia. He and Camillo, a Sicilian lord, discuss the love between their  
kings, which goes back to boyhood.  
Scene 2. Leontes presses Polixenes to stay longer, but his friend is set on leaving. When Leontes’ wife  
Hermione, who is pregnant, succeeds in persuading Polixenes to stay a little longer, her friendly  
attentions to their visitor fill Leontes with violent jealousy. He reveals his suspicion that Polixenes is  
the father of the child Hermione is expecting to Camillo, who is astonished and does not believe the  
Queen to be guilty. Camillo pretends to agree to poison Polixenes, but immediately afterwards he  
reveals the plot to Polixenes and they make a rapid departure from Sicilia.
