As You Like It

Summary



     Before the play has begun, Duke Senior's brother Frederick has taken Duke Senior's power and forces him to live in the forest. However, Duke Senior’s daughter Rosalind stayed in the court because she is the best friend of Fredrick's daughter, Celia. Orlando is the youngest son of Sir Rowland and is treated badly by his eldest brother Oliver. In order not to let Orlando get the money that his father left for him, Oliver ask Orlando to fight against the strong fighter, Charles. If Orlando win the fight, he can leave with the money he deserves to have. If he loses, then he will lose everything.

The big fight
     The fight starts. Rosalind and Celia decide to watch the match. Before the match, Rosalind speaks to Orlando and wants him to quit the match since he might die there. However, Orlando is very positive on fighting with Charles and Rosalind quickly falls in love with him. In the end, Orlando wins the match and he falls in love with Rosalind as well. After the fight, Orlando is asked to leave because his father, Sir Rowland, was the enemy to Frederick. Rosalind decides to go with Orlando to the depth of the forest and as her best friend, Celia, follows Rosalind as well.

Happy ending
  Oliver's money is taken by Frederick as well so he decides to leave and go to find his own brother in the forest. Duke senior accepts that he can stay with them and Orlando forgives what Oliver did to him. Eventually, Oliver happily married Celia and Orlando married Rosalind
