As You Like It Pd.3 Character Watcher
Let’s take a look at Orlando for a moment. Not only do I admire his name [Orlando Bloom 
] but I admire that he is sticking up for himself. His older brother Oliver is a jerk. Their father just died and Oliver is being selfish and won’t share his inheiritance with Orlando. Orlando ends up wrestling Oliver’s servant Charles and he wins. Oliver gets mad that his brother beat him so he threatens to burn his house down and hope he burns inside it! I don’t think brothers should act like this, especially right after their father died. I guess Oliver and Orlando don’t miss their father much, and Oliver is just after the money. But, I applaud Orlando for trying to get some of the money and he deserves it, not only because he he was also Sir Rowland de Bois son, but because he wrestled for it and proved he should have a share.
Also, there is a love connection between Orlando and Rosalind. It’a a love at first sight type of thing and it is developed after Orlando wrestles Charles. I guess being a good wrestler in this time period was a big turn on.
Orlando and his servant Adam go into the Adrenne Forest and Adam almost dies from hunger. Orlando finds Duke Senior, Rosalind’s dad. They have a meal together while Duke Senior is banished and is forced to live in the forest.
My question for y’all is do you think Orlando is deserving of some of the inheiritance from his father? Also, what do you think is going to happen between Orlando and Rosalind, will something blossom there??

I think Orlando absolutley deserves some inheritance. Oliver was mean, and he is driven by greed. He would rather see his brother injured at the hands of charles than simply give him his inheritance. I think that Orlando and Rosalind will get married. Shakespeare writes romantic comedies, so someone will have to fall in love/ get married/ do something together. That best fits Orlando and Rosalind at the moment. Good Blog.

I agree! Orlando is just trying to go to school, i mean really, it is selfish. So yeah i definitely think that Orlando deserves some more money.
And i do think that Rosalind and Orlando will start something. He’s an amazing wrestler, and like mallory said that was a big turn on.
