Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"All's Well That Ends Well" by William Shakespeare is a play published in 1623. Helena, a low-born physician's daughter, loves Bertram, a count who considers her beneath him. After curing the King of France, she wins Bertram as her husband, but he cruelly rejects her and sets seemingly impossible conditions for their marriage. Helena must use cleverness and determination to fulfill his demands. This unconventional comedy mixes fairy tale elements with cynical realism, exploring themes of social class, unrequited love, and the troubling question of whether all truly ends well.
