The Princess' Hunt - The princess' hunt
for a deer is successful and a metaphor of her success at Ferdinand's court.� The deer is a symbol for
the king, and the killing of it the killing of Ferdinand's oath when he falls in love with her.�
The Nine Worthies - Included, not
only to provide entertainment for the audience, The Nine Worthies and its mishaps were a metaphor by
Shakespeare representing the men trying to win the women's love.� Nothing turned out right in the play,
just as nothing turned out as the men intended with the women they loved.�
The King of Frances Death- This symbolizes that like
life, the time for making mockery is done.� The men, having broken their oaths, must receive judgement
by the women that they love, much like a man must receive judgement by God upon his death.� Also, this
represents a shift in the plays mood from merriment to seriousness.� It helps emphasize the importance
of honor and trust in love.�
