"Tout est bien qui finit bien" by William Shakespeare is a comedy published in 1623. Helena, a low-born physician's daughter, loves Bertram, a count's son who scorns her. After curing the King of France, she claims Bertram as her prize husband, but he cruelly rejects her and sets seemingly impossible conditions for their marriage. Through wit and determination, Helena pursues him to Italy, where she devises an ingenious plan involving mistaken identity and a bed trick to win him back—all while he remains unaware of her schemes.
