Love's Labour's Lost is believed to be among Shakespeare's earlier plays and was performed before Queen Elizabeth in 16th-century England. It is a comedy as the King of Narrarre and his three friends (Berowne, Dumaine, and Longaville) take an oath to avoid the company of women for three years. The arrival of the Princess of France and her ladies in waiting quickly disrupts their scheme. The result is a level of confusion common to Shakespearean comedies.

And yet, this play set in an extraordinary world has become the quintessential story of young love. In part because of its exquisite language, it is easy to respond as if it were about all young lovers.

En esta divertida comedia de la mano de Puck, el pícaro duendecillo, vemos cómo el amor se convierte en magia, … ! si hasta el rocío de la mañana parece mágico !Aunque sea una comedia, no creais que está tan lejos de la realidad: en la obra parece que la persecución del amor tiene la virtud de convertirnos en tontos e irracionales.

Si nos paramos a pensar por un momento, ¿con qué identificamos la palabra Romeo? ¡Efectivamente¡ La palabra ya se ha convertido prácticamente en sinónimo de amante o enamorado. En la obra, Romeo experimenta un amor de tal pureza y pasión que cuando cree que el objeto su amor Julieta ha muerto.... El amor está por encima de cualquier otro valor y los enamorados van a desafiar a la sociedad y sus convenciones, estando dispuestos a romper con sus familias, sus amigos, e incluso con la autoridad.

Es una comedia romántica en la que a pesar de tener un final feliz Shakespeare nos enseña que el amor puede llegar a producir dolor. De hecho varios de los protagonistas dicen sufrir por amor. La confusión de géneros que se usa en la obra es un buen recurso para producir situaciones cómicas: Viola se disfraza como un hombre para protegerse y conseguir trabajo con el duque Orsino, pero su disfraz va a causar toda clase de enredos y por otro lado Shakespeare parece hacer un guiño a los que consideran la sacrosanta heterosexualidad un tanto aburrida.
