As You Like It begins with a conflict between what is and what was. Or so the characters think. Actually though, the parallel scenes in the de Boys orchard and Duke Frederick’s court show that the real problem is the idea that it is possible to separate past and present at all. This unstable opposition takes a number of different forms in the play. Shakespeare explores it in two main ways: the relationship between blood and law in determining status, and the relationship between Nature and Fortune in determining a person’s fate. Pick one of these ways and explain how it plays out in a particular scene from Act I in the play. Answer, cite and explain.
