| Summary | "Comme il vous plaira" by William Shakespeare is a comedy written in the late 16th to early 17th century. The play explores themes of love, identity, and the contrast between court life and pastoral existence, following characters such as Rosalinde, who disguises herself as a young man, and Orlando, her love interest. The story unfolds in the idyllic Forest of Arden, where characters seek refuge from their troubles while navigating romantic entanglements and social critiques. The opening of the play introduces key characters and sets the stage for the complex relationships that will develop. Orlando expresses his frustrations with his older brother Oliver, who has mistreated him and denied him a proper gentleman's upbringing. Meanwhile, Rosalinde and her cousin Célie, in the court of the usurping Duke Frederick, are faced with the prospect of separation due to Frederick's wrath against Rosalinde's father. The two young women decide to escape, adopting disguises to navigate the challenges ahead. Their journey hints at themes of disguise, friendship, and the pursuit of love amidst the backdrop of conflict and exiled royalty. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
