Of course!!  Thank-you. A.J. I started the original HRH Love Triangle 
& Ron's downfall thread and I had completely forgotten about 
Shakespeare's Hermione. And The Winters Tale is one of my favorite 
plays too. I guess it must have been in my brain subconsciously 
though. 

If I remember correctly jealous Leontes has the pregnant Hermione and 
their son arrested and imprisoned where the boy dies. Hermione gives 
birth to a daughter and fakes her own death. The daughter is supposed 
to be executed under Leontes orders but is hidden in the forest 
instead. Leontes and Polixenes become enemies for 20 years until 
reconciling in the end.  Hermione symbolically comes back to life 
after Leontes apologizes for the 'deaths' of their son and daughter. 

Nasty business but a good example of what jealousy can do in a love 
triangle.
