"Love's Labour's Lost" by William Shakespeare is a funny play where the King of Navarre and his friends, Berowne, Longaville, and Dumaine, decide to focus on studying instead of dating girls for three years; the promise is challenged when the Princess of France and her friends show up, causing funny situations and highlighting the silly things people do for love and success. The play starts by setting the scene and showing us who the main people are, with a mix of serious and funny feelings as the King wants the men to follow the rules and avoid girls so that they can focus, but Berowne doubts that they can pull it off, especially after the girls arrive which begins the conflict between their goals, what they want, and how they actually feel causing comedy to soon follow.
