Who else but Shakespeare would have stage directions such as "Exit,
pursued by a bear"?
Such is the fate of Antigonus, a lord in King Leontes' court in Act III, scene
3.
The Winter's Tale is often discussed in terms of contrasts: winter to spring, death to life, suspicion to acceptance. The story makes a wonderful tale for winter or any other season.
