After presenting him with his newborn daughter, Leontes throws Paulina out of his chambers and commands Antigonus to kill the child. His Lords beg him to relent and he appeases them by commanding Antigonus to abandon the baby in the wilderness instead. Cleomenes and Dion, meanwhile, return from the Oracle of Delphi full of optimism. The trial comes to order. Hermione testifies in her own defense against her husband’s accusations. The Oracle’s message is opened and read aloud: Hermione is innocent. Refusing to accept the judgment, Leontes is met with immediate and devastating consequences.
