Publisher's Synopsis
The Two Gentlemen of Verona is a play written by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written between 1590 and 1591. The play tells the story of two close friends, Valentine and Proteus, who leave Verona to explore the world. Valentine falls in love with Silvia, the daughter of the Duke of Milan, but Proteus also becomes infatuated with her and betrays his friend by attempting to win her over himself. Along the way, there are several subplots involving other characters, such as Julia, Proteus' love interest, and the comic duo of Launce and his dog, Crab. The play explores themes of love, friendship, loyalty, and betrayal, and ultimately ends with forgiveness and reconciliation between the characters. The Two Gentlemen of Verona is one of Shakespeare's earliest plays and is known for its humor and light-hearted tone.Th.
