shakespeare depicts the forest of arden as a primitive
forest. in act 2, scene 1, duke senior describes the hardships of forest life that he
has been leading. but at the same time, he also praises this type of life as it gave him
a lot of peace.
again in act3, touchstone describes forest
life as a life of shepherd. he could not appreciate living in a forest as it did not
provide him the luxury of the court life.
hence,
shakespeare depicts the forest of arden in both the positive and negative
ways.
