As You Like It by William Shakespeare
"As You Like It" by William Shakespeare is a pastoral comedy written in 1599. When Rosalind flees her uncle's court to escape persecution, she seeks refuge in the Forest of Arden with her cousin Celia. There, they encounter memorable characters including the melancholy Jaques, who delivers Shakespeare's famous "All the world's a stage" speech. In this forest setting, Rosalind must navigate exile, disguise, and the complexities of love while finding both safety
and her true self. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
