Love’s Labor’s Lost is a play by William Shakespeare that examines problems created by telling the truth. The King of Navarre requests that he and three of his lords take a vow to avoid women. All four soon break their vows and pursue the ladies of France, who question their abilities to speak the truth about love. The king of Navarre decides to establish the academy of Love’s Labor’s Lost as a hub of learning, but it is destroyed, causing the king and his lords to go in different directions sad and alone.
