The Faithful Shepherdess

Francis Beaumont, John Fletcher

CULTUREA

Prix public : 19,90 €

"The Faithful Shepherdess" by John Fletcher and Francis Beaumont is a pastoral tragicomedy that unfolds in the idyllic setting of Arcadia, where themes of love, fidelity, and purity are explored against a backdrop of nature and innocence. At the heart of the play is the character of Clorin, the faithful shepherdess of the title, who is devoted to her lover, Strephon. However, her commitment is tested when Strephon's affections stray towards the wanton nymph, Amarillis. Clorin's unwavering devotion and purity contrast with Amarillis's seductive nature, highlighting the struggle between virtue and temptation. As the plot unfolds, the pastoral landscape becomes a stage for a series of romantic entanglements, misunderstandings, and moral dilemmas. Alongside Clorin and Strephon's story, we encounter a host of other characters, each grappling with their own desires and conflicts.
