As You Like It - Episode 7 - Why Blame Me for Loving You


Listen Later

Phebe confronts Rosalind (“Johnnyseed”) for being rude, leading Sylvius, Phebe, Orlando and Rosalind to expound on the meaning of love as a thunderstorm descends. Rosalind ends their railing by telling them to meet again tomorrow for a wedding where they will all be married to the one they love. Touchstone and Audrey celebrate as two musicians from Duke Senior’s camp pass by. Touchstone asks them to sing a song, which they do to great fanfare, but he gets jealous and mocks their music when they express interest in Audrey. The next day, Duke Senior arrives at the wedding site and asks Orlando if he thinks “Johnnyseed” is really capable of doing everything he promises. Rosalind shows up as Johnnyseed and checks with Duke Senior to be sure she’ll allow her daughter to marry Orlando. S/he also checks to be sure Phebe will marry Silvius if Johnnyseed isn’t available. Duke Senior tells Orlando that she sees some similarities between Johnnyseed and her daughter, Rosalind. When Touchstone and Audrey arrive, Jacques excitedly introduces Touchstone to the Duke. Touchstone entertains the Duke with a witty explanation of how to win an argument. Everything changes when Hymen envelops them all in a magical song, revealing Johnnyseed’s true identity as Rosalind. Upon realizing that Johnnyseed is actually a woman who is in love with Orlando, Phebe agrees to marry Silvius. Hymen marries all four couples: Rosalind and Orlando, Celia and Oliver, Audrey and Touchstone and Phebe and Silvius. They dance together until Jakes DeBoys, the second son of Sir Roland, takes the stage to announce that Duke Frederick, who had entered the forest to kill his brother,  was converted by an old religious man and decided to bequeath his crown to Duke Senior. Hearing this news, Jacques announces tells everyone he’s going back to the Court and bids them all farewell. Rosalind ends the series with a speech of appreciation.
