Viola and Rosalind show immense strength‚ courage and power highly uncharacteristic of women in Elizabethan literature. In addition to their strength‚ the women also retain traditional feminine characteristics.

Shakespeare cleverly contrasts the familial relationships between Oliver and Orlando in comparison with Rosalind and Celia in his play As You Like It. The strong connection between Rosalind and Celia condemns them into banishment where the allusion to an impregnable bond is formed‚ "Dearer than the natural bonds of sisters."
