Imogen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

garble:
Some allowance should be made for Imogen for she is young, inexperienced and in love: a combination that accounts for some of youth's impetuous behavior. She is besides, the only daughter and heir to the king and probably accustomed to having her way.

Driven by passion, she-defies her father and secretly marries Posthumus, the man she loves, how e'er he be untitled. Her steadfast fidelity to her newly-wed husband is commendable, even considering that it was a matter that concerned her personally. The king, a typical paternal tyrant is in a green wrath. He intended her to marry his step-son, Cloten the clod.

Posthumus is banished and goes to Rome, wearing the diamond ring Imogen gave him on parting. There he takes up with one treacherous Iachimo, whose slander against women makes no exceptions. Posthumus lays the ring on a wager to back his trust in Imogen's virtue and Iachimo goes off to Briton to put it to the test. On his return, Posthumus is convinced by his lies and forfeits the ring.

In a jealous rage he orders his faithful servant to take her to Wales and kill her. Imogen, believing she is to meet him there goes along willingly, but once there, Pisanio reveals the plot and releases her.

Disguised as a boy she takes to the hills where she becomes housekeeper to her two brothers (unknown to her) and their guardian. Falling into a death-like sleep from a potion, they lay her in burial next to the headless body of Cloten (slain by the brother) whom she mistakes for Posthumus when she wakes. Just then, Lucius, the Roman general appears and taking pity on her, takes her into his service promising to be like a father to her.

The briefing of this part of the plot is offered to suggest the traumatic distraction Imogen was suffering in the kind of emotional crisis that welcomes friendly support. The general shows just such compassion and keeps to his commitment,
