After Duke Frederick banishes his niece‚ Rosalind‚ for the crime of being her father’s daughter‚ Rosalind and Celia decide to exile themselves to the Forest of Arden. However‚ the question remains as to how they will travel to the forest‚ considering that‚ “beauty provoketh thieves sooner than gold.” In order to conceal herself from the savagery of thieves and robbers‚ Rosalind must take on the disguise of a male figure in order to hide her womanly qualities

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. Despite their many similar traits‚ many differences can also be found in the characterization of Viola and Rosalind.

Act 1 scene i Analysis Shakespeare begins his play with a pair of dueling brothers‚ an amendment of his source material—Thomas Lodge’s popular prose romance‚ Rosalynde—that allows him to establish‚ with great economy‚ the corrupt nature of so-called civilized life. Oliver’s mistreatment of his brother spurs Orlando to journey into the curative Forest of Ardenne as surely as Frederick’s actions did his own brother Duke Senior‚ which immediately locates the play in the pastoral tradition: those wounded

Chronologically‚ the family love expressed by Celia and Rosalind is the first form of love that Shakespeare introduces to the play; the character of Charles explains how “never two ladies loved as they do” when illustrating their relationship and the use of the word “never” exaggerates the depth and intensity of their love for one another. The girls are cousins in relation to each other and in Act 1 Scene 2; Celia’s sympathy for Rosalind concerning the banishment of her father portrays the care

In‚ "As You Like It‚" he has Rosalind who is disguised as boy named Ganymede use an interesting metaphor that explores the relationship between the consumption of time and the movement of a horse based on mood or pleasure. In my opinion the only reason that Rosalind ever uses the metaphor is to try to convince Orlando‚ the man she has fallen in love with and knows that he loves her‚ that she is wise

Charles tells him it is the same old news‚ namely the new Duke has banished his brother the old Duke. The old Duke left with several lords and now lives in the forest of Ardenne where "they live like the old Robin Hood of England" (1.1.100-101). Rosalind‚ the old Duke’s daughter‚ has remained at court with her cousin‚ the new Duke’s daughter. Charles then informs Oliver that he has learned that Orlando plans to challenge him the next day in the Duke’s presence. Since Charles is fighting for his

Though both Viola and Rosalind help their less-than-ideal beloveds woo their own objects of desire‚ and both disguises emerge party from the loss of a male familial figure‚ the women inhabit their male facades in drastically different ways. In both plays‚ though‚ Shakespeare provides constant reminders of Viola and Rosalind’s femininity‚ never straying too far from established gender tropes. One of the clearest similarities between Rosalind and Viola lies in that they disguise themselves

As you like it the female protagonist‚ Rosalind through her questioning of accepted patriarchal norms initiates a tidal wave of change that results in men both understanding and compromising with women which enables both genders to have a new healthy relationship. Just as Dusinberre argues that it is not possible to have "new women without new men" (33)‚ the close relationship between Celia and Rosalind allowed homosexual feelings to arise that enabled Rosalind to establish her image as ’new woman’

It is expected that these pairs of lovers will lead a mature‚ balanced and suitable life. In ‘As You Like It’ Shakespeare takes different aspects of love between lovers and between the friends. Shakespeare has borrowed the cliché of “love at first sight” from Marlowe’s ‘Hero and Leander’ (“whoever loved who loved not at first sight”). Rosalind is banished by her uncle. She comes to
