As You Like It as a Romantic Comedy





As You Like It is one of the best romantic comedies of Shakespeare. In a romantic comedy, romantic and comic elements are mingled. The romantic elements delight and thrill, the comic elements make us laugh and forget our anxieties. Emotions, imaginations and fancy are common phenomenon of romantic comedy. As You Like It keeps us laughing most of the time, despite some saddling incidents in it. The laughter is aroused in us by Rosalind, Celia, by Touchstone, by Jaques. 

There are some criteria of romantic comedy. They are first sight love, influence of nature, supernatural elements, role of forest, the romantic setting, happy ending and so on. In As You Like It, we see the first sight love between Rosalind and Orlando. The central theme of this play is love and marriage. This is the youthful love of Rosalind and Orlando. In romantic play nature plays a vital role. Nature dominates the human life. In As You Like It, we see the forest of Arden. Gradually al the characters come to the forest. Romantic comedy starts with love. There is a obstacle in the middle and a happy ending. According to Shakespeare, the course of true lover never did run smooth.

Jaques’ speech about the seven period of a man’s life shows his cynical wit.

All the world’s a stage
And all the men and women merely players
They have their exists and their entrances

The disguised shape of Rosalind and Celia is humorous and comical. In romantic comedy, we see a mixer of romantic and comic elements. As You Like It fulfils the main criteria of romantic comedy.

Robert Frost as a poet of Nature

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could, To where it bent in the undergrowth. -Robert Frost from ''The Road Not Taken'' Robert Frost (1874-1963) was the leading modern American poet of nature and rural life. He found beauty and meaning in commonplace objects, such as a drooping birch tree and an old stone wall, and drew universal significance from the experiences of a farmer or a country boy.
