Despite its optimistic title, Shakespeare's All's Well That Ends Well has often been considered a "problem play." Ostensibly a comedy, the play also has fairy tale elements, as it focuses on Helena, a virtuous orphan, who loves Bertram, the haughty son of her protectress, the Countess of Rousillon.
When Bertram, desperate for adventure, leaves Rousillon to serve in the King's army, Helena pursues him.
This is a dramatic reading.
