The sonnets have been translated into all major written languages and are frequently used at romantic celebrations.

One of Shakespeare's last plays, The Winter's Tale is a lighthearted comedy with components of misfortune. The plot depended on a work of composition fiction called Pandosto (1588) by Robert Greene. The play opens with Leontes, the lord of Sicilia, engaging his old companion Polixenes, the ruler of Bohemia. Leontes desirously botches the politeness between his better half, Hermione, and Polixenes as an indication of Hermione's infidelity with him.

She had been sequestered by Paulina for somewhere in the range of 16 years until the ideal opportunity for get-together and compromise showed up. Leontes is demonstrated an appearing sculpture of Hermione, so exact that one may envision it relaxes. The ""sculpture"" springs up, and Hermione apparently has matured during her long periods of partition and pausing. Leontes, to his serious delight, understands that he adores his significant other like never before. The recuperation of the girl he endeavored to slaughter is no less valuable to him. Everything is excused.

Book excerpt: Archidamus, a lord of Bohemia, and Camillo, a lord of Sicilia, talk about their respective countries. Archidamus says that if Camillo were to visit Bohemia he would discover great differences between their countries. Camillo replies that he thinks that his king, Leontes, is planning a trip to Bohemia in the summer. Abashed by how little Bohemia has to offer in comparison to Sicilia, Archidamus imagines himself serving drinks that would make the visitors so sleepy that they would not notice the barrenness of Bohemia. The lords also discuss the lifelong friendship of their two kings, as well as the virtues of the two young princes.Camillo then joins a group that is composed of the two kings, Leontes and Polixenes, Leontes' family, and some attendants. Polixenes, King of Bohemia, is thanking Leontes for his extended hospitality in Sicilia and insisting that he, Polixenes, must return to his country's responsibilities. When it is clear that Polixenes will not yield to Leontes' entreaties to stay for a longer visit, Leontes urges his wife, Hermione, to join the effort. Hermione succeeds in persuading Polixenes to stay.Leontes seems delighted that Hermione has convinced Polixenes to stay, but suddenly he reveals that he is jealous of Polixenes. Seeing that Leontes is upset, Hermione and Polixenes ask him what is wrong. Leontes, however, avoids a truthful answer by claiming that he is merely remembering when he was the age of his son. The two kings then compare their love for their sons.Leontes takes a walk with his son, Mamillius, thinking that this will set up Polixenes and Hermione for a compromising situation. Hermione, however, innocently discloses where she and Polixenes will be, and Leontes indulges in satiric swipes at her imagined infidelity. Then he sends Mamillius off to play, before asking for Camillo's assessment of the relationship between Hermione and Polixenes. Camillo's straightforward responses, however, are twisted by the jealous king, and Camillo protests: The imagined bawdiness which Leontes interprets from his wife's and Polixenes' actions is wrong.
