The opening scene of "As you like it" is basically a clumsy way of introducing the entire main cast to the audience. It introduces the characters of The dukes, Rosalind, Celia, Oliver and Orlando.

What is a summary of William Shakespeare's play As you like it?
See the related link. 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.

What is the comparison between Rosalind and Celia's character?
Rosalind and Celia are cousins, both members of the royalty. Though they have similar backgrounds and upbringings, Rosalind is much more adventurous and unconventional than Celia is. They are very close - so close that Celia sides with her cousin and defies her father to be with Rosalind. Celia is neither as smart nor as witty as Rosalind, but she is kind and loyal and willing to go along with Rosalind's scheme to sneak out of court and join Duke Senior in the Forest of Arden, where he holds court since he has been banished by his brother, Celia's father. Celia would like to be as brave as Rosalind, and she does make an attempt, but she is not as well-suited to the outdoor life of a shepherdess as she thought she would be. She discovers her own kind of bravery in the process of following in Rosalind's footsteps, but still lets her cousin take the lead. In the end, she marries Oliver, the brother of Rosalind's love Orlando, and Shakespeare ends the play leaving the audience with the sense that the two young women will remain close friends.
