Like several other of Fletcher's tragicomedies, "The Faithful Shepherdess" deals with the darker side of sexuality and sexual envy, although within a comic framework. The story revolves around Clorin, a virgin shepherdess who respects chastity and devotion and lives in solitude near the grave of her first love. During the play, different couples are thrown into erotic turmoil, and Clorin cures them and facilitates their reconciliation.
