A Lord says "The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together." in All's Well That Ends Well.
This is certainly true of Helena, the heroine of the play. She's a virtuous and resiliant woman, not to mention talented physician. Some question her taste in men, however, as she is hopelessly in love with Bertram - the Count of Rousillon and a good soldier, but who acts quite ungentlemanlylike towards Helena. Will they get together? Does the title of the play give a clue?
Some good references for the play are:
