The secret marriage of Cymbeline's daughter, Imogen, triggers much of the action, which includes villainous slander, homicidal jealousy, cross-gender disguise, a deathlike trance, and the appearance of Jupiter in a vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKidnapped in infancy, Cymbeline's two sons are raised in a Welsh cave. As young men, they rescue a starving stranger (Imogen in disguise); kill Cymbeline's stepson; and fight with almost superhuman valor against the Roman army. The king, meanwhile, takes on a Roman invasion rather than pay a tribute. He too is a familiar figure-a father who loses his children and miraculously finds them years later; a king who defeats an army and grants pardon to all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCymbeline displays unusually powerful emotions with a tremendous charge.
