As You Like It-2

"Duke Frederick...Where meeting with an old religious man, After some question with him, was converted." pg. 77
This Shakespearean play is very different than Othello. I know that Othello was a tragedy and this was supposed to be a comedy, but they are still very different. Othello wasn't that horribly boring to read. I just got annoyed with how stupid Othello was. Other than that, I didn't really mind it. But this play, on the other hand, was awful. I didn't see the point to the entire play. There seemed to be so many meaningless characters like Touchstone, Audrey, and Jaques de Boys. I felt like everyone in this play was so nieve. People can not just look at someone and decide they are in love. There were four weddings in one day and each couple hardly knew each other. It was ridiculous and made me mad. There was also no meaningful explanations to significant conversions like Oliver and Duke Frederick. People can't change their entire personalities that quickly. This play just really annoyed me. I did not like it.
