Irony/ Act 3 and 4

"Sweet youth, I pray you, chide a year together: I had rather hear you chide than this man woo."  This line shows irony for certain reasons.  Well, what is ironic is about this is that Ganymede is actually Rosalind.  The funny thing is is that Phebe has fallen in love with Ganymede, but she thinks it is a boy.  One can tell that Phoebe has fallen in love with Ganymede because of what she says here.  This means that she would rather him scold her rather then a man try to woo her.  In Act 4, Oliver and Orlando have reunited and renewed their relationship.  Orlando saved Oliver when a lioness was trying to attack him.  In addition to saving Oliver's life, Orlando had a wound on his arm from the lioness.  Now, I will see if in Act 5, Duke Senior and Duke Frederick renew their relationship.
