"I hope I shall see an end of him" .
The opening scene begins with conflict and tension, which arouses interest in the audience. It also presents us with strong character interactions and strong feelings: jealousy, hatred and wickedness, all of which are appealing for anyone watching the play. The theme of injustice also entices the audience and the fact that Oliver is planning against his younger brother is particularly interesting. .
Scene 2 starts with introducing the two principal women, Celia and Rosalind, who is in a melancholy mood, due to the banishment of her father. This scene interests an audience as it has a great variety of tone, character and action. When Celia bids her merry, her reply: .
"From henceforth I will coz, and devise sports. Let me see what think you of falling in love?" .
-Reveals a character who will deliberately use her wit and intelligence to triumph over misfortune; and also reveals her sportive nature. We can already see from her character that she would be a fine match with Orlando, and the audience almost anticipates love between the two, further adding to the intrigue that has been developed from the first scene. The sportive nature of the women is intensified when Touchstone enters; who is funny himself, but also funny because of the jokes made at his expense. Rosalind gives us the impression that he is a simpleton: .
"Natures natural the cutter off of Natures wit." .
We can see that Touchstone will be the truth speaker and the "wise fool" from early on: .
"The more pity that fools may not speak wisely what wise men do foolishly." .
He is the test or measure of genuineness, and the audience will know to look out for his opinions and views in the future. .
The comedy is diversified with the entry of Le Beau, whose actions make him the butt for more jokes and mockery; .
"Here comes Monsieur the Beu." .
He has the function of creating dramatic interest and appeal by telling the ladies about Charles, the wrestler, creating a scary image of him and making us wonder what will happen when Orlando fights him; .
