The Winter's Tale is a "problem play" by William Shakespeare that tells the story of Perdita, the wrongfully abandoned child of Leontes, King of Sicilia. A problem play is generally defined by its inability to be easily assigned to the traditional categories of comedy or tragedy. The Winter's Tale is considered a problem play by some because its first three acts are filled with intense psychological drama, while the last two acts are comedic and supply a happy ending.
