This performance of Act II, Scene I also depicts Leontes in an interesting light. In this clip, he seems more than jealous – he comes off as a little bit deranged. In one part, he gets so worked up that he shoves Hermione, almost hits her, and ends up throwing her to the ground. His mannerisms are also a little bit lunatic. In this scene, Leontes is portrayed as a nervous wreck who is unable to stand still. The director also has him search through Hermione’s purse after he orders her to prison, which illustrates how desperate Leontes is to prove that his suspicions are right. Whenever any of the other men try to reason with him, Leontes becomes visually angry and even shoves one of them. Overall, the director of this film decided to make Leontes a considerably violent character, which adds an entirely different dimension to his madness.
