3. How does Celia tease Rosalind about Orlando being unfaithful in love?<br />
Ans: Celia teased Rosalind by saying that Orlando was not in the habit <strong>of</strong> keeping his word, which<br />
showed that he was not a faithful lover. The vows <strong>of</strong> such a lover were not reliable. They were like the<br />
words <strong>of</strong> a wine dealer. Both <strong>of</strong> them were in the habit <strong>of</strong> making blunders in their calculations.<br />
4. Where is Orlando now? Did Orlando recognize Rosalind when they met the day before?<br />
Ans: Orlando is with Rosalind’s father, Duke Senior.<br />
Orlando did not recognize Rosalind because she was dressed up like a man.<br />
5. What promise did Orlando make to Rosalind the day before?<br />
Ans: Orlando had promised Rosalind to come to her cottage, as she had claimed to cure him <strong>of</strong> his<br />
madness <strong>of</strong> love.<br />
Q2. Read the extract and answer the following questions.<br />
Celia: O, that’s a brave man! he writes brave verses, speaks brave words, swears brave oaths, and breaks<br />
them bravely, quite traverse, athwart the heart <strong>of</strong> his lover; as a puisny tilter, that spurs his horse but on<br />
one side, breaks his staff like a noble goose. But all’s brave that youth mounts arid folly guides. Who<br />
comes here?<br />
1. Where is the speaker? Who else is present there?<br />
Ans: The speaker is in the Forest <strong>of</strong> Arden. Rosalind is present there.<br />
2. What does Celia mean by brave verses?<br />
Ans: Celia means fine lines <strong>of</strong> poetry.<br />
4. How does Celia describe the brave man? What is the irony here?<br />
Ans: Celia describes the brave man as one who writes brave verses, speaks brave words, swears brave<br />
oaths and breaks the oaths crosswise like a sword from one side to the other side <strong>of</strong> his lover’s heart.<br />
The irony is that she makes a funny comparison with an inexperienced competitor in a tilting match who<br />
spurs his horse on one side and makes a fool <strong>of</strong> himself.<br />
5. What is the philosophy behind this explanation?<br />
Ans: She means that all love that is ruled by youth and guided by folly is fine.<br />
6. Who enters the scene now? Whom does he address and how?<br />
Ans: Corin the old shepherd enters the scene. He addresses Rosalind and Celia as master and mistress<br />
respectively.
