| Summary |
"Wie es Euch gefällt" by William Shakespeare is a play written in the late 16th century, characterized by its themes of love, identity, and the contrasts between court life and pastoral simplicity. The story revolves around various characters, including the noble Rosalinde and Orlando, who navigate love and familial conflict amidst a backdrop of exile from the court, particularly highlighting the relationships affected by power struggles as they flee to the safe haven of the Forest of Arden. The opening of the play introduces several key characters and sets the stage for the ensuing drama. It begins with Orlando, the youngest son of the late Sir Rowland de Bois, lamenting his mistreatment by his elder brother Oliver, who has rejected their father’s wishes. Orlando seeks to assert his noble birthright. Meanwhile, we meet Rosalinde and her cousin Celia, who are dealing with their own trials due to the banishment of Rosalinde's father, the rightful duke. Dialogue between characters reveals their relationships and motivations, sowing the seeds for the themes of love and conflict that will unfold in the cozy yet chaotic haven of the Arden Forest. This establishes a rich fabric of interactions and emotions that will shape their journeys throughout the play. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
