Shakespeare's All's Well That Ends Well is the story of its
heroine, Helen, more so than the story of Bertram, for whose love
she yearns. Helen wins Bertram as her husband despite his lack of
interest and higher social standing, but she finds little happiness
in the victory as he shuns, deserts, and attempts to betray her.
The play suggests some sympathy for Bertram. As a ward to the
French king, he must remain at court while his friends go off to
war and glory. When Helen cures the King, he makes Bertram
available to her. To exert any control over his life, Bertram goes
to war in Italy. Helen then takes the initiative in furthering
their marriage, undertaking an arduous journey and a daring trick.
Few today, however, see a fairy-tale ending. The authoritative
edition of All's Well That Ends Well from The Folger Shakespeare
