The theme of transformation in Shakespeare’s plays is well-documented. Many of these transformations have root in Metamorphoses by Ovid. This sprawling work of fifteen books creates an intricate world of mythology that Shakespeare used as inspiration time and time again. The Winter’s Tale is no exception: references both explicit and implied come from Ovid’s epic. The women of The Winter’s Tale are especially influenced by the stories of Ovid; the characters of Perdita and Hermione seem to pull from

This makes the song sound as if it were perfect at one time‚ technically‚ and now it is overcome with the pain of a lost love‚ so it is slightly off and does not sound completely correct or resolved.
