As the play is Older Than Steam and most twists in Shakespeare's plots are now widely known, all spoilers on this page are unmarked.A comedy by William Shakespeare. Like many of his lighter plays, this one focuses on young love, comic misunderstandings, and good ol' fashioned cross-dressing.Duke Senior has been usurped by his brother, Frederick. He flees to a paradise-like forest called "The Forest of Arden," along with some servants and friends. His daughter, Rosalind, stays behind; she is the best friend of Frederick's daughter, Celia, and so he tolerates her— for a while. Orlando, a young nobleman, sees Rosalind and instantly falls in love, but his older brother, Oliver, casts him out of his home. He, too, flees to the forest.Eventually, Frederick becomes agitated with Rosalind after she falls in love with Orlando, who is the son of one of Frederick's enemies. He banishes Rosalind, who flees to the woods with Celia and the court clown, Touchstone. To protect themselves, they don disguises— Celia dresses as a woman called Aliena, and Rosalind pretends to be a man named Ganymede. They meet up with the servants of the true Duke (including a very depressed and depressing man called Jaques), who takes them in.The majority of the plot is spent on the romances. Orlando, still in love with Rosalind, hangs love notes for her on the trees in the woods. Rosalind, equally in love with Orlando but still disguised as a man, encourages him to pursue her. Phoebe, a shepherdess, falls in love with Ganymede, and she in turn is loved by Silvius, a shepherd. Even Touchstone the Clown has a woman he's pursuing.Eventually, due to a mixture of cunning plots and Deus ex Machina, the tangled love triangles are sorted out and Oliver and Frederick mend their ways, returning power to their brothers. The play ends with four marriages, and everyone returns happily to the duchy— except melancholy Jaques, who joins a monastery.The plot is closely based on the novel Rosalynde; or, Euphues' Golden Legacy by Thomas Lodge, published 1590.The play has been adapted on film by Sir Laurence Olivier in 1936 (it was his first Shakespeare film adaptation) and another film was made in 2006 by Kenneth Branagh, which reset the play among British expatriates in Meiji Japan. | |

I Know You Know I Know | |
As You Like It (Theatre) / int_2d4d16d9 | comment |
I Know You Know I Know: Shakespeare scholar James S. Shapiro believes that the central question of the play is when exactly Orlando figures out that Ganymede is Rosalind. It's obviously sometime before the final reveal, as Orlando would otherwise be too stupid to take seriously as a character, but when? Shapiro theorizes that it's the moment he takes Ganymede's hand during their mock marriage. From then on, Orlando continues to take part in Ganymede's love lessons because he can use them to show Rosalind he's become worthy of her. Shapiro also suggests that Rosalind knows he's figured her out, turning it into an example of this trope. | |

Deus ex Machina | |
As You Like It (Theatre) / int_3fca462c | comment |
Deus ex Machina: Oliver repents his ways and reunites with Orlando because Orlando saves him from a conveniently placed lion. Fredrick suddenly has a change of heart, goes religious, and gives the duchy back to the Duke. All offstage. Due to a third brother of Oliver and Orlando who's only been mentioned once at the very beginning of the play, in a line that's often cut.note Some productions cut out the third brother entirely and give his lines to Le Beau, the main courtier instead. A literal example; at the end of the play Hymen, the Greek God of Marriage, arrives with Rosalind to sort out the four couples once and for all, and give his blessing to their marriages. | |

Stylistic Suck: Orlando's poetry, to a certain extent. It's not terrible, but it's definitely amateurish (at least compared to what Shakespeare was capable of writing), and, as Touchstone points out, it's way too easy to parody. | |

Get Thee to a Nunnery | |
As You Like It (Theatre) / int_95d67d24 | comment |
Get Thee to a Nunnery: The meaning of Touchstone's speech punning on "hour" takes on a quite different meaning once you realize that in Elizabethan English, hour and whore were homophones. Ganymede, Rosalind's name when she was disguised as a man, was the name of the Greek god Zeus' male lover. It was basically the Renaissance equivalent of uke. | |

Love at First Sight | |
As You Like It (Theatre) / int_a8dcb1d7 | comment |
Love at First Sight: A major theme. Played straight with Oliver and Celia. Toyed with when it comes to Rosalind and Orlando. They're both smitten the first time they meet, but Orlando is too tongue-tied to say much to Rosalind. Knowing she can't marry a man who isn't an intellectual match for her, Rosalind conceives her scheme as "Ganymede" so he can teach Orlando to move beyond his antiquated notions of love. Subverted with Phoebe. She originally spurns Silvius and falls for "Ganymede" right away, but when it becomes obvious that isn't going to work, it's Silvius' unswerving devotion that wins the day. | |

As You Like It (Theatre) / int_ace24b2c | comment |
Halfway Plot Switch: For the first act, you have quite a serious plot about a young man domineered by his villanous brother and a fair lady separated from her dad by her uncle. That gets quickly forgotten when all the main characters arrive in the forest, whereupon the play changes into a light pastoral comedy. | |

As You Like It (Theatre) / int_bca8786f | comment |
Afraid of Blood: Rosalind passes out seeing a handkerchief with the wounded Orlando's blood on it. Subverted in that she's not upset about the blood itself so much as the fact that it's her beloved Orlando's blood. This is lampshaded by Celia, who can't really explain the situation to Oliver because he still thinks Rosalind's a boy. | |
