"All's Well That Ends Well" by William Shakespeare is a play from the late 1500s to early 1600s that mixes funny and serious parts. The story is mostly about Helena, a smart young woman who wants to marry Bertram, a Count, even though they are from very different social classes. Themes of love, who we are, and how people connect are explored. The story starts by showing us Helena, sad about her father's death but also in love with Bertram. It shows that Helena comes from a good family but feels unsure because of her social class. Bertram doesn't want to marry her because of what people will think. The words they speak show us a deep look at love in royal courts and how hard it is for people to chase what they want when society has rules about class. Helena promises to heal the sick King of France, a choice that ties her fate to Bertram's, setting up a story of big goals and secrets with both comedy and drama.
