The Forest of Arden

“The Forest of Arden”

Act 3, Scene 2, As You Like It 

The Forest of Arden is no less than a Utopia. It is an ideal place to live an ascetic life and to fall in love. Orlando writes (bad!) love poems all over the trees, in praises of his love Rosalind, who, disguised as a man, looks amused in the mystical – magical backdrop of the forest.
