As You Like It---Act 1, Scene 1

Orlando is not happy. His oldest brother, Oliver, is supposed to be taking care of him and Jaques but is only sending Jaques to school and is keeping all but food and clothing from Orlando. Orlando is rightly angry at this treatment and faces his brother. Oliver won't agree, and is very rude to him.
Oliver is visited by the Duke's champion wrestler, with the news that Orlando is going to try to beat him in the next contest with a disguise. Oliver is pleased, because he wants to kill Orlando, the youngest of the three brothers, but he hides this from Charles and pretends that he has Orlando's good at heart but that Orlando won't listen to his pleas to not go and try his strength.

Here the scene ends.
More soon,
Bell
