• W239917464 abstract "AbstractOrlando and Rosalind in William Shakespeare's As You Like it - one lacking self-awareness and behaving like a weakling, and the other too sentimental and emotional, preferring to cry herself out of a situation - are unable to cope with the situation that Oliver and Ferdinand have created for them. Both hesitate to declare their love for each other. Both have lopsided personalities, Orlando, being unconscious of the strength of his animus, and Rosalind, having an overdeveloped anima to the detriment of her animus. This paper is an attempt to study the two characters from a Jungian point of view. I contend that both need to individuate and integrate into the conscious mode to show what they are potentially capable of. The change of setting, from the Urban (the conscious) to the Woods (the unconscious), affords them the chance to connect the conscious with the unconscious in order to become whole.Keywords: As You Like it; Jung; animus; animas; individuationIntroductionOrlando and Rosalind in Shakespeare's As You Like it are an interesting couple who seem to have serious problems in coping with the situation that Oliver and Ferdinand have created for them. Rosalind is perhaps a little too sentimental and emotional for the problem facing her. Orlando, on the other hand, does not have self-awareness of his talent and potential. Both display an imbalance in their attitude which renders them ineffective in their day to day life. Orlando, despite his physical strength, behaves like a weakling. Rosalind, on the other hand, prefers to cry herself out of a situation rather than stand up to her adversary. Both claim to love each other but are mute to speak it out. At court, both are unable to change their present state. Orlando's unconscious has flooded his conscious. Being a man, i.e., animus1 in the conscious mode, he makes little use of it; his physical strength is symbolic of how he is animus but he is unconscious of it. Rosalind, on the other hand, has an overdeveloped anima2 to the neglect of her animus. Both have lopsided personalities; Rosalind and Orlando have to integrate into their conscious what they are potentially capable of. This paper is an attempt to read Orlando and Rosalind's characters and their behaviours from a Jungian point of view. I contend that both need to individuate3 and integrate into their conscious attitude what they are potentially capable of. Orlando needs to be more assertive than he is; Rosalind, on the other hand, has to stop crying about every small, little problem facing her.From the Conscious to the UnconsciousRosalind and Orlando have to move into a more fluid space to be able to get in touch with their unconscious. The highhanded attitude of Ferdinand and Oliver proves to be a blessing in disguise for both Rosalind and Orlando. Both of them are forced to move from the court to the woods and during their stay in the Forest of Arden, they experience a transformation of attitude. It is here that their love gradually finds maturity, and they gradually start integrating their unconscious mode into their conscious state. They are no more rigid, since they can adapt themselves to the changing circumstance; they become practical, sagacious and balanced personalities. The lopsidedness4 in their character is due to their lack of connection with the unconscious, as Jung would say. The urban setting, by virtue of being clearly defined, symbolizes the conscious5; while the woods, by virtue of being vast dark and infinite, symbolize the unconscious6. To be able to get in touch with the unconscious, Orlando and Rosalind have to move into the Woods which is symbolic of establishing connection with the unconscious.In the beginning, Orlando is dominated by feelings as he feels frustrated, sentimental and desperate for being deprived of his due rights by his eldest brother, Oliver, he lets me feed with his hinds, bars me the place of a brother (I/i, 18-19). …" @default.
