Who says in Shakespeare Now is the winter of your discontent?
Not "your discontent"; "our discontent". These are the first lines of the play Richard III, and Richard himself says them in soliloquy: "Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this sun of York. And all the clouds that lour'd on our house in the deep bosom of the ocean buried." What he means is that things hadn't been going so well for the Yorkies at the end of the last play, Henry VI Part 3, but they defeated Warwick and captured and killed Henry VI and his son, so now Edward VI, Richard's brother (the son of York, hence the pun about a "sun of York") is firmly in the saddle as King of England. Winter has turned to summer; the clouds have left the sky and the sun shines. Everything is peachy. (But we find out pretty soon that as far as Richard is concerned, things aren't as peachy as all that).
