La traición y enemistad entre el Duke Frederick, el hermano usurpador, y Duke Senior, el hermano usurpado, no es compartido por sus respectivas hijas, Celia y Rosalind, quienes deciden escapar juntas a un bosque alejado con un fiel bufón y con nuestra heroína, Rosalind, vestida de hombre para proteg...
What a strange and wonderful play. It feels almost as if Shakespeare is satirizing himself and his audience, and the clue is in the play. The play starts out as by setting up good guys and bad guys and then the action moves off to the forest of Arden where it becomes entirely a silly romance. It ...
Back when I first read this play for university English I didn't think all that much of it because I had simply thrown it in with that collection of boring Shakespearian plays called 'The Comedy's' (not that I found all of the comedy's boring, just most of them because there were, in my opinion, sim...
After reading Richard III and Othello recently, this light-hearted comedy seemed a bit tame. As You Like It is typically partnered with Twelfth Night, both known for their cross-dressing. As You Like It revolves around a Duke's banishment by his brother, forcing him into the Forest of Arden where it...
Love is merely a madness, and, I tell you, deserves as well a dark house and a whip as madmen do: and the reason why they are not so punished and cured is that the lunacy is so ordinary that the whippers are in love too. - Rosalind As You Like It 3.2, ll. 362-365 Note: The review below was taken...
I certainly enjoyed this Shakespeare comedy more than his tragedies. It is rather fluffy, but fun. I decided to read it to prepare for the performance at the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey next week. It was great to see a strong female role way back during Shakespeare's time.
This is a true romance. It has a happy ending with multiple couples getting married. It's inferred that everybody lives happily ever after. I guess that's why it's titled, "As You Like It."Here's assistance for choosing which Shakespeare play to read:http://www.goodreads.com/blog/show/415-what-shak...
"All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages."As You Like it was very entertaining as I think anything Shakespeare is. I've seen a movie of this years ago but am real...
An enchanting, humorous play. Rosalind's changing gender, and the fact that she was played by a boy, makes it interesting as to Shakespeare's views on gender and romance. I found it comical, but a little strange, the Orlando accepted "page" Rosalind's invitation that she could try to pretend to be l...
