Well,I have recently read the summery of (the winter's
tale) by shakespeare,,,,Hermione was asked by her husband ( Leontes ) to bring Polixenes
round in order to extend his visiting to Sicily and stay for a longer time with his dear
friend Leontes after Polixenes refused saying that he had to go to Bohemia to do his
jobs there,,,
Actually Hermione was able to let Polixenes
agree to stay for a longer time but that let the jealous Leontes feel that his faithful
wife and his blamless friend were having a secret relationship behind his
back.
Leontes decided to put Hermione in prison and when
that happened her small child Mamillius died from sadness about his mother who used to
love him and play with him all the time. when Hermione heard that she fainted ay once
and Paulina ( her friend ) told everyone that Hermione died so that Leontes wouldn't try
to get rid of her by another way (as he thought she was
guilty).
Hermione the innocent lady , of course the readers
of a summery to that play or the ones who watched it felt sorry for her,,,, Shakespeare
wanted to show as: what does our week points do to us when we don't consider the matters
well before doing the actions ( which is very obvious in Leontes's charater ) and the
result of that is being alone .... like the tree which has no leaves or fruits.....stays
lonely don't know what to do......after being bare ,,,,in the winter
season....The Winter's Tale .
