  • As You Like It
    A TEACHER’S GUIDE TO THE SIGNET CLASSIC EDITION OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE’S AS YOU LIKE IT By JEANNE M. McGLINN, Ph.D., AND JAMES E. McGLINN, Ed.D. SERIES EDITORS: W. GEIGER ELLIS, ED.D., UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA, EMERITUS and ARTHEA J. S. REED, PH.D., UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, RETIRED A Teacher’s Guide to the Signet Classic Edition of William Shakespeare’s As You Like It 2 INTRODUCTION Shakespeare seems to be everywhere these days. Romeo and Juliet and Midsummer Night's Dream, starring contemporary movie stars, have been box office hits. The film Shakespeare in Love, depicting how the playwright's experiences inspired him to write Romeo and Juliet, won multiple Oscars at the 1999 Academy Awards. These popular films have made the plays more accessible to students by exposing them to Elizabethan language and the action that brings the words to life. So teachers can expect a certain amount of positive interest among students when they begin to read a Shakespearean play. As You Like It, although not well known by students, will certainly delight and build on students' positive expectations. As You Like It, like Twelfth Night and A Midsummer Night's Dream, is one of Shakespeare's "marriage" comedies in which love's complications end in recognition of the true identity of the lovers and celebration in marriage. This is a pattern still followed in today's romantic comedies. This play can lead to discussions of the nature of true love versus romantic love. Other themes, which spin off from the duality between the real and unreal, include appearance versus reality, nature ver- sus fortune, and court life of sophisticated manners contrasted with the natural life.

  • A Reversal of Gender Role in Shakespeare's Play As You Like It
    Available online at https://tjmr.org Transatlantic Journal of Multidisciplinary Research ISSN: 2672-5371 DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.3937843 Volume 2 │ Issue 1&2 │ 2020 A REVERSAL OF GENDER ROLE IN SHAKESPEARE’S PLAY AS YOU LIKE IT Dr. Ramesh Prasad Adhikary, Assistant Professor, Tribhuwan University M. M. Campus, Nepalgunj (Nepal) Abstract This research paper has been conducted to examine Shakespeare‟s comedy As You Like It from the perspective of gender study. The voice against the strict codes, conducts and stereotypical role that are imposed on women in a patriarchal society can be seen in the play. For the analysis of the text the ideas of feminism have been used as the methodological tool to interpret it. In the play, Rosalind disguised as Ganymede, Phoebe falls hopelessly in love with Ganymede. Orlando fails to show up for his tutorial with Ganymede. Rosalind, reacting to her infatuation with Orlando, is distraught until Oliver appears. Oliver describes how Orlando stumbled upon him in the forest and saved him from being devoured by a hungry lioness. Oliver and Celia, still disguised as the shepherdess Aliena, fall instantly in love and agree to marry. The conclusion of this paper is that masculinity and feminity are not the opposites but they are interrelated. As a qualitative research, this researcher has adopted the play as a primary text and it is analyzed by using gender theory and feminist perspective as a tool to interpret it. Keywords: Gender, Feminity, Masculinity, Disguise, Role Reversal 1. Introduction This research paper is focused on the issue of gender role in Shakespeare's play, As You Like It.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

    Ethan McSweeny /Selected Press – Classics 01.18 “Ethan McSweeny seems to have a Midas touch. It’s not that the plays he directs turn into gold but they do sail across the footlights with a vibrant, magnetic sheen… The wunderkind director who made his Broadway debut before some directors finish graduate school, is earning plaudits for a flurry of new productions…Throughout his career, McSweeny has moved from classics to contemporary dramas to premieres with ease…His scrupulous attention to the melding of design, pacing, and performance and facility with which he presents them, feels crisp, vibrant, and cinematic.” Jaime Kleiman, American Theatre “McSweeny is revealing himself to be the kind of directorial prodigy we read about in biographies of such auteurs as Robert Wilson and Peter Sellers. Except that he does not impose a vision or conceit on a play; he amplifies themes in the work.” Rohan Preston, Minneapolis Star Tribune “McSweeny is not only one of our most successful theatre directors, but equally one of our most important, and for a man who zoomed a few years ago past 40, he continues to sport the aura of a modern Boy Wonder — an Orson Welles with much more in his future than commercials for Paul Masson … It’s not just that he is — as Peter Marks characterized him in his Washington Post review of The Tempest — a “classical imagist,” although he does possess that rare mixture of deep affinity for text and a fanciful eye. He has proven to be fluid in his choices, negotiating between the classical and the edgy-new.
