The Fisher King

Small revelation of the day: Shakespeare's All's Well That Ends Well plays comically on the myth of the Fisher King (think about it, the King of France has a fistula--metaphorically maimed or wounded--Parolles is the 'Mayday' scapegoat whose sacrificial humiliation helps restore political order, Helen saves the Maimed King--inverted questing knight--with her father's medicine then goes on a mission--quest motif again!--to restore sexual, matrimonial and political harmony in the play).
