Summary: The story of King Cymbeline's long-lost sons is similarly tragicomic and is even more explicitly indebted to the conventions of romance with its motifs of banishment,wandering,and eventual recognition and reunion.The three main plots of Cymbleine-of Posthumus and Imogen,of King's lost sons,and of the war between Britain and Rome-may seem outwardly unconnected with one another.Certainly ,the play ranges over a wide geographical space and introduces a host of characters,many of whom never meet until the final scene.Yet the three plots are unified by being structuraly like one another.In each we perceive a pattern of fall from innocence,followed by conflict and eventual redemption. In "The Complete Works of Shakespeare,5th edition ,edited by David Bevington.
