It also tells us much about the obsessions and anxieties of Shakespeare's contemporaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on a fairly simple plot featuring a valiant young male lover struggling to conquer the heart of a young maid cross-dressing as a man, the comedy not only offers a series of unforgettable parts but also proposes an in-depth meditation on gender, faith, theatrical illusion and political power by holding a distorting mirror up to the mores of the Elizabethan society.
