in act II scene I Hermione requests Mamillius to tell her a merry story, to which Mamillius replies "A sad tale's best for winter. i have one of sprites and goblins"
the title suggests a sad tale. the title fits well with the first three acts though the winters tale is considered a comedy because of the happy outcome of the play and the last two acts.
