Love's Labours Lost

Wednesday, June 11, 2003

• TITLE: "Love's Labours Lost" A comedy by William Shakespeare, probably written about 1595. Here is the plot summary from the biliomanic.com website.

  The story concerns three young men, lords of the king of Navarre who take up a vow between themselves to abstain from worldly ways to devote themselves to study. Inevitably, this well-intentioned plan is soon blasted by the arrival of temptation in the form of the princess of France and three of her ladies.

  The king falls in love with the princess and 'of mere necessity' the lords begin to set aside their abstinence for the other ladies.
