Love's Labor's Lost is one of Shakespeare's earliest comedies, written sometime in the 1590s. It pits the strength of romantic love against that of fraternal love and obligation, providing great insight into the politics of love, marriage and power. The play integrates sophisticated wordplay and bawdy humor, and has an early version of the "play within a play" device that Shakespeare used in other works written around the same time, such as Romeo & Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream. It has a highly unusual denouement for a comedy, which is the death of a major figure's father; thus, instead of ending in marriages all around, the women exert their authority to make the men wait through a year of mourning to prove their love is true.
Donated by Head of School, Zachary Roberts, and Santa Cruz Shakespeare
