Basically, Duke Frederick is a very greedy person and banishes alot of ppl. There has been a lot of ppl banished and the deposed Duke Senior (Duke Frederick's brother) and those friendly to him (other banished ppl) have fled to a nearby forest (Forest of Arden). These include his daughter Rosalind and Celia, the daughter of the usurping Duke Senior, a depressed guy called Jaques, and Orlando. Rosalind has disguised herself as a boy (Ganymede) and she and Celia pretend to be shepherds. Orlando and Rosalind are in love, and Orlando has written love poetry all over the place. Rosalind teases him in her guise as a boy. Orlando's brother Oliver falls out with the usurper and comes into the forest , where he and Celia fall for each other. Rosalind attracts a girl called Phoebe, but Rosalind arranges that Phebe should marry the young man who loves her Silvius, Oliver should marry Celia and Orlando should marry Rosalind herself. All this transpires as the usurping Duke Senior restores the exiled one, since virtually the entire population has moved to the forest to get away from the usurper.
