| Summary |
"MITEN HALUATTE" by William Shakespeare is a play written in the late 16th to early 17th century. This comedy delves into themes of love, identity, and the whims of fortune, set against a backdrop of political intrigue and familial conflict. The primary characters include the exiled Duke and his daughter Rosalinda, who navigate their circumstances with humor and wit. The opening of the play introduces various characters, including Orlando, the youngest son of a nobleman who feels oppressed by his elder brother Oliver. Orlando laments the poor treatment he receives at home, while seeking recognition of his noble birth. As he speaks with Adam, his loyal servant, the stage is set for Orlando's quest for identity and justice. Meanwhile, the narrative weaves in Rosalinda and her cousin Celia, who are embroiled in their own dilemmas stemming from the Duke's exile. The groundwork for misunderstandings, romantic entanglements, and comedic situations is established, promising a rich exploration of love and familial relationships in a pastoral setting.
