The story follows Helena, a resourceful young woman who harbors deep feelings for Bertram, the Count of Rossillon. Through clever schemes and a determination to win his love, Helena navigates the challenges presented by their social status and Bertram's initial disdain, setting the stage for a complex romantic journey. At the start of the play, we are introduced to the characters and their circumstances. Helena learns that her father’s medical skills could potentially save the ailing King of France, prompting her to seek a way to help him. Bertram is grieving the loss of his father and preparing to leave for war, while the Countess of Rossillon expresses her concern for both her son and Helena, who she regards as a daughter. The opening scenes establish the relationships and tensions, foreshadowing Helena's bold decision to intervene in the king's illness and her intent to win Bertram’s love through a clever series of actions that highlight both her determination and the societal constraints of their world.
