For example, in the beginning of the play, he's loyal to King Leontes, but not loyal enough to poison Polixenes, and flees with him to Bohemia. Camillo is the one who helps Prince Florizell and Perdita, when Polixenes storms off at the end of the play. Camillo is thus the character who is comfortable jumping from side to side and dealing with the extremities of the situations which present themselves and working to resolve them, or to at least resolve his place in them.

Given all the extreme events of the play -- the persecution and "death" of Hermione, the exile of Perdita, the death of Mamillius, the ending truly demonstrates that all is well that ends well -- with the royal families playing catch-up with one another.

Hermione is alive and well, Perdita and Florizell are able to declare their love for one another and jealous and suspicious Leontes is at peace. However, the play does have a greater lesson to offer, which is that so much discord, so much mistrust can cost human beings the ultimate price -- the price of time. Leontes goes for 16 years without seeing Perdita, who is his own flesh and blood. Hermione, in shock, one can assume, has been separated from him as well. Just as the Winter's Tale reassures one that all's well that ends well, it also warns against drastic moves and general intolerance.
