Shakespeare play



I have finished reading the comedy, 'As you like it'.
I absolutely loved it and my favorite character was Orlando and Rosalind. I don't know I just loved the way they messed around in the forest.

I think I will be reading 'Much of ado about nothing'. It is also a comedy and I hope it is as fantastic as 'As you like it'.

I have written a letter in Senior Duke's point of view. He is writing a letter to his friend. And this is the outcome.


Dear Alfredo,
                           Hello! It has been such a long time since we got in touch with each other. I am now in the Forest of Arden, and it is so beautiful and peaceful here. So don’t ever worry about me, I am absolutely fine here. The forest of Arden is so much better than the court. And I am absolutely truthful about this.

 Yes, I know that I came here with a lamentable reason. I am never going to forgive my brother for making me get out of the court. But the forest is not that bad either! In the court, I always had to worry about the people in the court, and had to make sure that everybody was satisfied with whatever I did. Because if I do something which is not acceptable or if they don’t like it, I always had to face so many difficulties to make anything go to the right way. And I was always chasing my own life! I had almost no time to look and admire the beauty of the sky or the flying birds on the tips of the cloud. Which I can see every single second these days and admire them endlessly. Remember once I wrote you a letter in the court saying I can’t keep in touch with you for a whole week because of making a new law for the people in my country? I was that much busy and didn’t even have time to write a single letter to my dearest friend. You would think I am weird and not right. Because you think being the king and ruling the country sounds really powerful and nice. It is powerful but it is not always nice. I also had to make sure every time I go to bed, that there is no one to come and murder me. That was the most stressful thing I did in my routine at the court. But in the forest of Arden, there is no need for worrying.

 I want to tell you every single part about why forest of Arden is so peaceful and beautiful, but I don’t think it is going to fit in this little piece of paper I made myself. So I am just going to tell you just the tip of what is so great about the forest of Arden. First thing and the best thing about forest of Arden is the animals. You know how much I love animals. There are so many of them just roaming around carefree in this forest. I can just turn around to see a deer drinking water from a pond, and when I look down, I see little ants travelling somewhere really quickly instead of seeing the boring yellow tiles of the court. And second thing is that I don’t have to worry about all the responsibilities I needed take in, in the court. And the boring routines of the court! I can just forget those terrible boring and ever-same routines in this forest. You won’t believe how much fun I am having in the forest of Arden with my true loyal followers. I found out who were the real loyal followers when I got kicked out from the court. I am pretty sure I saw hundreds of followers who seemed to respect me and who was loyal to me. But I was really wrong. I found out that the true followers were only about 10 people. I am really grateful that they followed me, but I am a bit sad about the others who just tricked me.

 But all the sad and stressful is left at the court! I am having a great time in the forest of Arden and eating as much as I want, and enjoying myself as much as I want. I just love this place and I think most of my followers think the same. So Alfredo I’m telling you, don’t ever think I am having a very terrible time in this forest. I am having the greatest days of my life. I hope you are doing the same. Hope we can get in touch with each other again. I am free every day now since I don’t have as much responsibility as I did in the court! You can write to me anytime you want. I think I should stop writing now. I hope you will reply back.

It was fun to write a letter pretending I am the senior Duke.
