Question 3: What suggestion did Camillo give Florizel and Perdita? What did Camillo gain from it?
Answer: Camillo suggested Florizel and Perdita to go to Sicily. Camillo felt that Leontes would welcome the son of his long-separated friend. Camillo got to return to Sicily after a long time. In the end, he marries Paulina and finds happiness.
Question 4: What caused Leontes to repent his actions?
Answer: The oracle had proclaimed- ‘Hermione is innocent, Polixenes blameless and Leontes will live without an heir, if that which is lost be not found.’ It was then Leontes learnt that both his son and his queen had died of grief.
