As You like it, period 1, Derrick Truax, Illuminator
Well guys big surprise, I can’t find Henry’s post, and I forgot to blog yesturday.
So here goes… I have two quotes that I found interesting.
The first quote is: “Now will I stir this gamester. I hope I shall see an end of
him, for my soul—yet I know not why—hates nothing
more than he. Yet he’s gentle, never schooled and yet
learned, full of noble device, of all sorts enchantingly
beloved, and indeed so much in the heart of the world and
especially of my own people, who best know him, that I am
altogether misprized. But it shall not be so long; this
wrestler shall clear all. Nothing remains but that I kindle
the boy thither, which now I’ll go about.”
He is saying that Orlando is a great guy and smart despite never going to school, and that the people that know him love him. Despite all of this, Oliver hates Orlando and he doesn’t know quite why. Seems to me that Oliver is just jealous of Orlando, what do you guys think?
The second quote is: “Tis true, for those that she makes fair she scarce makes
honest, and those that she makes honest she makes very ill-
favoredly.”
This quote was said by Rosalind to Celia during their discussion about nature and fortune. I thought this was pretty interesting. Rosalind is saying that fortune isn’t fair because the girls that are made pretty are also dishonest, and the girls that are honest are ugly. I thought their whole discussion about nature and fortune was interesting, but this quote seems to point out something that I do notice in the world. Some of the people that are very lucky don’t deserve to be lucky while others can be the nicest people around and have the worst luck. What are your thoughts on this?

Yes, I do think Oliver is jealous of Orlando because he states that Orlando is jealous of what everyone else has and does, but then he goes on to say that orlando get attention and everyone likes him and all this other stuff so he is deffinatly jealous of his little brother. This may be why he does not give him anything.
Well,this can be the case…some of the time. People of all personalities are of all different social standards and have all different luck. so you can not say all lucky people are mean and all nice people have bad luck.
