So when I'd added this one to my GR years ago, just on the basis of remembering having read it at some vague point, I gave it 5 stars. I probably just thought, "It's fucking Shakespeare, of course it's 5 stars." But this time around, I'm a little more strict, even regarding the Bard. Still definitely enjoyed it, but it's not without its flaws. I'd honestly call this almost a dramedy or something, because while it is comedic and light most of the time, there are some darker things going on here too, and it feels heavier than the comedies are usually meant to be. This is also one of his plays where he tried to cram a little too much story into a short span of pages. Just a few too many things going on that weren't all necessary (the Silvius and Phoebe part just felt tacked on, to me). But I loved the forest scenes, and the comparisons characters make, both overt and subtle, to the differences between pastoral and city life, and how each can affect us emotionally and mentally. Really liked the relationship between Rosalind and Celia - which, while I am almost always here for a Sapphic take on such things, when the two women are cousins.........yeah, maybe let's don't go there - and Touchstone was one of the better clown characters. I liked the playfulness of the epilogue too, with a female character, who in Shakespeare's time would always have been played by a boy, and who dressed up as a man for half the play, then coming out to give the closing speech in the woman's costume...but referencing the fact that they were actually a dude. I promise, it makes more sense when you just read it. So not a top fave, but definitely a fun and mostly light read, and very quick, too. Plus, you get the "all the world's a stage" speech, which is just superb.
