When she is banished from court by her usurping uncle Duke Frederick, Rosalind disguises herself as Ganymede and travels with her loyal cousin Celia and the jester Touchstone to the Forest of Arden where her father and his friends live in exile. Orlando joins the outcasts and, seeing an opportunity to test his love, Rosalind engages him in a game of role-playing. By the play's end, Rosalind marries her Orlando, and Celia and Orlando's mean older brother Oliver are also wed. As Oliver becomes a kinder young man, so does Duke Frederick change his ways, and the exiled Duke Senior rules once again.
