        <description><![CDATA[Even before he appears on stage, we learn through a report by Duke Senior's men that Jaques is given to a chronic melancholy as they humorously relate how he has pined over the death of a stag that they have merrily shot. When we first see him, Jaques is engaged in lively repartee with the Duke and his followers as they assault his pessimistic airs and he parodies their pretentious rural songs and adopted folkways. There is no reason that...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Touchstone is one of the many "fools" who populate Shakespeare's comedies, romances, and tragedies. Touchstone has absolutely no part in the central proceedings of the play, nor does he represent any distinct worldview, outlook or ideology as Jaques embodies affected pessimism. As his name connotes, the clown of As You Like It is a "touchstone" to the other characters, for he tests their perspectives and their pretensions with his humor....]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[As You Like It is a genial satire of the pastoral romance genre, and plainly Shakespeare recognized that his London audiences would enjoy humor at the expense of bucolic pretensions and country bumpkins. Even before we enter the forest we are told that Duke Senior and his exiled court live off the land "like Robin Hood" in a "golden age." The Duke and his men are a merry crew, but the forest has its hardships, and the play clearly punctures...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Well, there are lots. And the play, like all of Shakespeare's plays, complicates the issue rather than providing a one-word, easy answer. I think the best way of answering yoru question is to focus in on one particular little extract which deals with the topic: the conversation between Touchstone (the fool from the court) and Corin (the shepherd, who lives in the country).

CORIN.And how like you this shepherd's life, Master...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Here is a site http://www.elizabethi.org/us/women/. 
I would like to speak about marriage in that time.  Children had no say in who they married.  Even the son's have no choice but to marry the woman that his father had picked out.  In other words the father's arrange marriages for their children to increase their property, station, and or weath.  Children were a means to ensure that.

        <description><![CDATA[AS you like it is a comedy in the presence of Touchstone, the court's clown. Touchstone's foolishness is remarkable by the 'audience' but his neutral judgement is a vital part also. As you like it is a story of many themes. it may include jovial themes, love themes, comic themes and so on. It is also remarked that pastoral life (i.e in the forest of ardenne) is more relaxed than the tensed atmosphere in the court, especially under the presence...]]></description>
