Love in The Winter’s Tale
Love Itself - the most potent force in the play, as it heals and is shown in familial, brotherly and
romantic ways
...
worthy enough a herdsman” – rejects idea of his son
marrying a peasant, is disappointed more than angry
Shakespeare shows the influence love has over social classes – causes Florizel and Perdita to
defy notions
Pollixenes opposes Perdita at first but is trying to do what is best for his son
Does not learn from Leontes mistakes with his children

Mamillus



Gets ill around the same time as his mother, who wanes during her trial
Dies of a wasting sickness showing that not even love can save him from Leontes rage,
though it is an indirect death

Leontes and Pollixenes



Loyalty and friendship, mirrors Hermione’s friendship with Paulina

and jealousy twists his views of reality and what he actually feels
