        <description><![CDATA[As You Like It is heavily concerned with the contrasts between court and rural life. In it, characters from the court retire into the country and meet there characters who have always lived in the Forest of Arden.
A good place to look to see the contrast between the court and the country is 1.3 and 2.1. 1.3 is both the last scene in the first act and the last scene that takes place in the court of Duke Frederick. In it, Rosalind is banished by...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Only to some extent can we say that As You Like It is a "happy" play. The biggest example of this is the character of Jaques. He is a melancholic, refusing to join in with the happiness of the rest of the inhabitants of the Forest of Arden, but instead wanting to reflect miserably on the woe of the world and even try his hand at punishing sinners.
At the end of the play, when the god of marriage, Hymen, comes on stage to marry four couples:...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Firstly, those banished from court life seek and find refuge in rural life (in the Forest of Arden). The characters escape their court life woes and are free from the restraints of this lifestyle - both sets of brothers (Oliver and Orlando, Duke Senior and Frederick) part ways - the evil brothers maintain their court lives, and "the benevolent, wronged brothers create an alternative "green" world in the Forest of Arden" (Dolan, F. in...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA["As You Like It" is a piece of literature in what is known as the "pastoral" genre.  In such pieces, rural life is seen as good while city life is seen as corrupt and evil.  In this play, life at the court is bad while life in the Forest of Arden is good.
We can see the contrast between the two in the fact that Duke Frederick and Oliver and evil and corrupt whereas the people in the Forest of Arden (Duke Senior, Orlando, Rosalind, Celia) are...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This exact question was asked about a week ago.  Here's how I answered it then:
At this point in the play, the Duke, father to Rosalind and uncle to Celia, has been exiled and is living in the forest of Arden.
In the lines you cite, he is talking about how much he likes living in the forest better than he liked living at court.  He admits that there is "adversity" (he cites the cold in particular) but says that the adversity is good for...]]></description>
