As You Like It approves the old saying that in Shakespeare’s plays, tragedies end with death and comedies with weddings. At the play’s beginning the lives of the two lovers, Orlando and Rosalind, are threatened; at its end, the threat is averted and they, and three other couples, are wed. In between, Rosalind, the principal character, ironically and in disguise, plays the roles of teacher, judge, and physician of souls. This talk will explore how her performance in these roles relates to the outcome of the story, how the outcome relates to the title of the play, and what it means to say that comedies end with weddings.

Hosted by the Weslaco Museum, Thursday the 23rd of April 2026 at 6PM.
