Narration As Books As You Like It

Readers and audiences have long greeted As You Like It with delight. Its characters are brilliant conversationalists, including the princesses Rosalind and Celia and their Fool, Touchstone. Soon after Rosalind and Orlando meet and fall in love, the princesses and Touchstone go into exile in the Forest of Arden, where they find new conversational partners. Duke Frederick, younger brother to Duke Senior, has overthrown his brother and forced him to live homeless in the forest with his courtiers, including the cynical Jaques. Orlando, whose older brother Oliver plotted his death, has fled there, too. Recent scholars have also grounded the play in the issues of its time. These include primogeniture, passing property from a father to his oldest son. As You Like It depicts intense conflict between brothers, exposing the human suffering that primogeniture entails. Another perspective concerns cross-dressing. Most of Orlando’s courtship of Rosalind takes place while Rosalind is disguised as a man, “Ganymede.” At her urging, Orlando pretends that Ganymede is his beloved Rosalind. But as the epilogue reveals, the sixteenth-century actor playing Rosalind was male, following the practice of the time. In other words, a boy played a girl playing a boy pretending to be a girl.

Commentary Of Books As You Like It

I was at Shakespeares Globe in London yesterday watching this play and it was fab! I then came home and read it (got to love the literary life!)The best thing about the performance was the fact that Orlando was played by a woman who was less that five feet tall and Rosalind was played by a man was way over six feet tall. Needless to say, this lead to many comic moments. Heres some shots of the performance:-Orlando & RosalindThey only had to stand next to each other on the stage for the

A pastoral comedy with shades of Robin Hood24 December 2014 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, simply romantic comedy's which me, as a young adult male, really didn't appreciate). However, it wasn't until later when the theatre group that

I just saw this play for the first time since college, at the Shakespeare Theater here in DC. I've never really known what to say about it, to be honest. I know all the hype surrounding Rosalind, and I agree with it. It's a really excellent part for any actress, and I love that the play is structured entirely around her. The play even offers the rare pretty great supporting part for a woman in Celia. There's Jacques, the odd and amusing duck who doesn't ever quite fit, and a surprisingly large

Just saw this last night at the Shakespeare Tavern in Atlanta. So, naturally, here's...As You Like It, abridged:OLIVER: Hi everyone, I'm Oliver and I'll be your designated jackass for the evening. ORLANDO: Hey bro! So, remember how you got me to wrestle that unbeatable guy and were all like, "he's so gonna kill you, mwahaha"? Well, I totally kicked his ass AND met this hot chick Rosalind. Man, it's great to be me!OLIVER: OMG IMMA KEEL YOU! ORLANDO: *runs*ROSALIND: Hey Celia, your uncle just

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.I am always charmed when I go to see a Shakespearean play and hear familiar phrases. As You Like It certainly has its share of those.A cinema chain near me offers showings of the National Theatre (London) on a regular basis and I went this week for my first experience of this play. As expected, I enjoyed it a great deal.

Definitely one of favourites. Loved it.

Ummmm ... this is kind of Shakespeare's most ridiculous play and, shockingly, I am not here for it. What is wrong with me? Ya'll know that I have impeccable bad taste and love me some trashy plot, but I think I actually found something that is too trashy for my liking. Believe me, I'm disgusted with myself. As You Like It is one huge clusterfuck and I honestly shouldn't even be surprised. Willie Shakes often channeled his "big dick" energy in his comedies, showing off that he basically gave no
