Dr White examines the ways in which Shakespeare uses formal conventions from romance throughout his writing career, especially in giving formal completion to a play without forfeiting the ”open-ended” sense of life”s complexity. In his romantic comedies these conventions are modified to imply that the cosy womb of marriage is not the end of lovers” lives; in the ”problem” comedies they are used to challenge the artifice of the comic ending; in some tragedies they are used to provide an ideal of fulfilment which has been destroyed by the tragic events – and in the last plays or ”romances” they are used to invoke the full sense of life”s continuing comprehensiveness.
