"As You Like It presents a picture of human life, not as an arena for heroic endeavor, but as a meeting place." Let us consider some of the encounters presented in the play and their significance for his view of human life. "Man in his time plays many parts, his Acts are seven ages." Here we are given two different worlds, with colorful characters ranging from "the Lover who sighs like a furnace with a sorrowful ballad" to the "Last scene of all" when Man returns to his "second childhood and mere oblivion, without teeth, without eyes, without taste, without everything. Stage in the Courts and the Forest of Arden did not serve simple heroes or heroines. Indeed, we are presented with romantic lovers like Orlando and Rosalind on heroism and courage is left to a minimum and usually these actions are used to advance the plot. Amor Vincit Omnia has never been more appropriate to describe this comedy and usually it is through love and lost love that one can gain insight into the various characteristics of life. “There is surely approaching another flood and these couples will come to the Ark,” abundant love is illustrated by the numerous lovers in the. opera. But love is not just romantic love, but it also includes “brotherly love,” brotherly love, love between companions, and even love in the form of loyalty between the master and his servant. The opera opens with a scene depicting lost love. Brotherly love has ceased to exist and, in the case of brothers Orlando and Oliver, breeds evil. Oliver felt that he was "wholly misjudged" by his "gentle, never educated, and yet full of noble expedients" brother, Orlando. Out of jealousy over Oliver, he first tried to kill Orlando by manipulating Charles the Wrestler and later, attempted to set fire to Orlando's quarters. This meeting parallels an incident in which Duke Frederick scolds Celia, "she robs you of your name." Jealousy is undeniably a character flaw in human beings and, by putting it on stage for the audience to watch, a form of subtle moralizing. Nature and luck govern the lives of many and we see these two factors discussed by the swan couple Juno, Rosalind and Celia. “Nature has created a beautiful creature, who is not... middle of paper... the hero but a lover who hangs his verses on trees, describes his thoughts in tree barks as witnesses of his love. Orlando's encounter with Ganimed further undermines his role as a warrior hero. He exposed himself to Rosalinda's love games and swore that he was "that unfortunate man" wounded by the "invisible arrows of love". Indeed, in the golden world of Arden, Orlando softened. There was only one small incident that was not fully illustrated by Shakespeare, which was the meeting with the lioness and Orlando's courage in saving his brother. It was only thanks to word of mouth. , of Oliver that the public learned of Orlando's heroic deed. As the show draws to a close after the staging of the hymen and the unions of the various couples, it is not difficult to see that Love is the reigning theme in the show. Together with Love we discuss other human conditions. “Breaking ribs” was not meant for women and is cast aside along with all the “bad guys” of humanity. The work is not an area for heroic deeds, but offers moral lessons and an insight into human life..
