	NovelGuide: Cymbeline: Novel Summary: Act 5 Scene 5
		Cymbeline says that his senses were not at fault, since she was beautiful and flattered him well, and neither was his heart, which “thought her like her seeming” (line 65), but he repents his folly in choosing her.
		Cymbeline’s comment that he thought the Queen to be “like her seeming” reveals his characteristic lack of emotional instinct and inability to distinguish outer appearance from reality—the same quality that led him to banish honest men and put his trust in wicked and stupid people.
		Cymbeline’s promise to resume the tribute to Rome after the Britons won a bloody victory fighting for this very cause is an anti-climax which has caused some critics to wonder if Shakespeare was laughing at his characters or at his audience.

	The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey
		The main plot of Cymbeline is one with which Elizabethan audiences would have been very familiar: a man wagers on his lover's chastity and is fooled, he orders her death (which is prevented by wise and faithful servant), and is finally reunited with her.
		Though Snow White was not written down until the 18 th century, its resemblances to Cymbeline are uncanny and have caused speculation that the story was in oral circulation for centuries before.
		Attention is often drawn to the amount of favorite and “re-cycled” plot devices Shakespeare employed in the writing of the play (a kind of Shakespearean-greatest-hits), including long-lost sons, a cross-dressing maiden, mistaken identities, and a banished lover.

	Cymbeline
		The British king Cymbeline resists and fights Roman rule as his daughter and lover struggle to overcome the duplicity of the devious villain.
		Socially and politically relevant to our time, Cymbeline powerfully chronicles the personal search for integrity and honor in a world of hypocrisy and betrayal, in which nations either learn from the harsh consequences of their actions or are doomed to perish.
		Cymbeline is a dramatic triptych: the resistance of a British king to Roman rule, two lovers driven apart by the lies of the cunning villain, and two young princes kidnapped and reared in the wild.

	MetroActive Stage \| Cymbeline
		Scheie stages Cymbeline with high theatrics, and the effect of such deliberate showmanship is surprisingly winning; in fact, it's perfect for a play in which the characters, on some level, are all simultaneously deceiving and being deceived.
		Nevertheless, this Cymbeline is not much of a cautionary tale--it seems much more to be a giddy celebration of humanity, both its good and bad aspects.
		Adding such deliberate spectacle to Cymbeline actually strips it down from a labyrinthine tale of deceit in a king's court to a plain old fable of human fallibility, by pointing out--and skewering--our passion for appearances.

	Cymbeline-Folger Shakespeare Library
		The king, Cymbeline, is mentioned in chronicles in Shakespeare’s day, and may be historical or may be legendary.
		And Cymbeline himself, with his marriage to a beautiful but wicked queen and his almost miraculous victory in his war against Rome, also partakes far more of romance than of history.
		But Cymbeline too is a familiar romance figure—a father who loses his children and after long years miraculously finds them; a king who, through what seems supernatural intervention, defeats an invading army and then grants pardon to all.

	Lambs' Tales From Shakespeare - Cymbeline
		Cymbeline, pitying the helpless state of this orphan, took Posthumus (Cymbeline having given him that name, because he was born after his father's death), and educated him in his own court.
		Cymbeline, almost as much overwhelmed as he with joy, at finding his lost daughter so strangely recovered, received her to her former place in his fatherly affection, and not only gave her husband Posthumus his life, but consented to acknowledge him for his son-in-law.
		How Cymbeline's wicked queen, through despair of bringing her projects to pass, and touched with remorse of conscience, sickened and died, having first lived to see her foolish son Cloten slain in a quarrel which he had provoked, are events too tragical to interrupt this happy conclusion by more than merely touching upon.

	Full text and plot summary of Cymbeline by William Shakespeare
		One of Shakespeare's later plays and initially considered a rather lowly example of his work, Cymbeline was disregarded as poorly-conceived 'folly' by such eminent critics as Dr. Johnson.
		The story concerns Imogen, the daughter of Cymbeline, King of Britain.
		Cymbeline is seen by some as a typical late-Shakespeare reconciliation play with the elements of a steadily darkening plot that involves murder before matters are straightened out to the benefit of all, as in The Winter's Tale and The Tempest.

	Cymbeline
		Jean Howard's introduction in the Norton edition is very good, especially in her observations about the play's attitudes towards British nationalism, anxieties about manliness and women in authority, and the fantasy of androgenesis.
		He is, however, fatherless, and Cymbeline is a rather poor substitute for a father.
		Cymbeline is a "son" of Rome (67-70) but he thinks of Britain as worthy now to be independent of Rome as it once was--a "son," as it were, who has come of age and seeks independence from the father.
