| Summary | "As You Like It" by William Shakespeare is a play written in the late 16th century. This pastoral comedy explores themes of love, identity, and the contrast between court life and rural life, featuring characters such as Rosalind, Orlando, and Duke Senior as they navigate romance and social dynamics in the Forest of Arden. At the start of the play, we are introduced to Orlando de Boys, who feels unjustly treated by his older brother, Oliver. Orlando expresses his desire for a gentlemanly education, lamenting his current rustic existence. Their confrontation reveals the tension between them, which is compounded by Oliver’s cruel intentions towards Orlando. Meanwhile, we learn of Duke Senior's banishment and his life in the Forest of Arden, where he is accompanied by loyal followers. The opening sets the stage for a rich exploration of love, familial conflict, and the search for oneself amidst societal constraints. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
