The narrative explores themes of love, identity, and the contrast between court life and pastoral life. It primarily revolves around Rosalind, the daughter of a banished duke, who disguises herself as a young man in the Forest of Arden, where she encounters various characters, including her love interest, Orlando. The opening of the play introduces us to the familial tensions between Orlando and his older brother, Oliver, who mistreats him and keeps him from receiving a noble upbringing. Orlando expresses his frustration, feeling like a mistreated servant rather than a respected son. We also learn about the upcoming wrestling match between Orlando and a seasoned wrestler, Charles, and how Oliver wishes to prevent Orlando from competing. Meanwhile, in the court, we meet Rosalind and her cousin Celia, discussing their close friendship and Rosalind's sorrows over her banished father. The stage is set for their eventual escape to the Forest of Arden, where love and comedy intertwine in their quest for happiness and identity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
