"Fair Em" by William Shakespeare is a comedy written around 1590. The play weaves two romantic plots: William the Conqueror pursues a Swedish princess who loves another, only to be deceived into marrying a Danish king's daughter instead. Meanwhile, Em, a miller's beautiful daughter, cleverly fends off unwanted suitors by feigning blindness and deafness while navigating her own romantic entanglements. Though attributed to Shakespeare in Charles II's library, most scholars dispute his authorship of this light Elizabethan entertainment. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
