Florizel (The Winter's Tale)
- Florizel (The Winter's Tale)
Florizel is a fictional character in Shakespeare's "The Winter's Tale".
Florizel is the son of Polixenes – King of Bohemia. He falls in love with Perdita wishing to marry her until his father protests; objecting to the marriage, warning Florizel that his inheritance will be revoked if he ever seeks Perdita again. Polixenes objects to the marriage because he believes Perdita is a shepherdess and therefore unworthy of a royal marriage with Florizel.
In spite of this, Florizel genuinely is in love with Perdita – his love remaining strong. With the intervention of Camillo, the dilemma is resolved because Perdita is actually of royal origin (the daughter of King Leontes).
