Dialogue/ Act 1 and Act 2

"O, no; for the Duke's daughter, her cousin, so loves her, being ever from their cradles bred together, that she would have followed her exile, or have died to stay behind her."  This is a quote from "As You Like It", and it is displaying dialogue from the story.  The dialogue is words and sentences said in the way they would have been said during Shakespeare's time.  This line also talks about the love of the two cousins, Celia and Rosalind.  I personally thought that their relationship was a little strange.  They always talked about how much they loved each other, and how they would die if the other one left.  In Act 1, Duke Frederick even wanted to exile his own niece, Celia because Rosalind would have been depressed.  There are also two pair of brothers in the story who do not get along.  They are Oliver and Orlando and Duke Frederick and Duke Senior.  Their relationship within the story is so much different than Celia and Rosalind.
