''Cymbeline'' , also known as ''Cymbeline, King of Britain'', is a play by William Shakespeare, set in Ancient Britain and based on legends that formed part of the Matter of Britain concerning the early Celtic British King Cunobeline. Although listed as a tragedy in the First Folio, modern critics often classify ''Cymbeline'' as a romance or even comedy. Like ''Othello'' and ''The Winter's Tale'', it deals with the themes of innocence and jealousy. While the precise date of composition remains unknown, the play was certainly produced as early as 1611.〔Stanley Wells and Michael Dobson, eds., ''The Oxford Companion to Shakespeare'' Oxford University Press, 2001, p. 101.〕 ==Characters== ''In Britain'' * Cymbeline – King of Britain * Queen – Cymbeline's second wife * Imogen/Innogen〔Stanley Wells and Michael Dobson, eds., The Oxford Companion to Shakespeare Oxford University Press, 2001, p. vii.〕 – Cymbeline's daughter by a former queen, later disguised as the page Fidele * Posthumus Leonatus – Innogen's husband * Cloten – Queen's son by a former husband * Belarius – banished lord living under the name Morgan * Guiderius – Cymbeline's son, kidnapped in childhood by Belarius and raised as his son Polydore * Arvirargus – Cymbeline's son, kidnapped in childhood by Belarius and raised as his son Cadwal * Pisanio – Posthumus' servant * Cornelius – court physician * Helen – lady attending Imogen * Two Lords attending Cloten * Two Gentlemen * Two Captains * Two Jailers ''In Rome'' * Philario – Posthumus' host in Rome * Iachimo/Giacomo〔 – Philario's friend * French Gentleman * Dutch Gentleman * Spanish Gentleman * Caius Lucius – Roman ambassador and later general * Two Roman senators * Roman tribunes * Roman captain * Philharmonus – soothsayer ''Apparitions'' * Jupiter – King of the Gods * Sicilius Leonatus – Posthumus' father * Posthumus' mother * Posthumus' two brothers 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cymbeline」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
