As You Like It
"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 ventures into the Forest of Arden with her cousin Celia, seeking safety and discovering unexpected romance. There they meet an array of memorable characters, including the melancholy Jaques, whose famous observation that "all the world's a stage" captures the play's exploration of love, identity, and life's theatrical nature in a woodland refuge far from courtly intrigue.
