The intricate plot of 'Cymbeline' folds comic, romantic, tragic and historical modes into a bittersweet and experimental play. Though listed under the 'Tragedies' in its first appearance in the 1623 First Folio, the play's diverse elements of murderous jealousy, Roman invasion, dark schemes of sexual assault, female transvestism, passionate love, court, country and fairy-tale are all harmoniously and peacefully reconciled in marriage.
