Shakespeare‘s As You Like It is based on a work entitled Rosalynde written by Thomas Lodge (Verity 2000 : xiii) The play is often categorized as a pastoral comedy . The term .pastoral. refers to the life of the shepherds or rural folk and their ways of living‚ manners and customs. However‚ pastoral poetry does not reflect the realities of country life and that from its beginning it created an imaginary landscape which was actually a projection of the poct‘s feelings and ideas.

John M. Murry describes Twelfth Night as having a ’silvery undertone of sadness’ - this view is held by other critics alike. Kiernan Ryan states how "the spectre of death haunts the romantic protagonists’ lives and loves from the start." This can be seen right from the beginning of the play with Orsino’s speech.
