Rosalind &
Orlando


FROM AS YOU LIKE IT

HER: One of Shakespeare’s most delightful leading ladies. Independent, fun, charming, and not afraid to go into exile dressed like a man. Has much to say about the foolishness of love, but can’t help falling in love anyway.

HIM: Forest-dwelling little brother. A gentleman despite the lack of formal education. Noble, loyal, and brave when he needs to be. No match for Rosalind intellectually, but handsome enough to compensate.

BRILLIANT RELATIONSHIP MOVE: Rosalind dresses as a man to instruct Orlando on how to woo a woman, proving you can, in fact, have your cake and eat it, too.

WHY THEY WORK: She’s smart and he’s adorable.

HIS BEST ADVICE: “Live a little; comfort a little; cheer thyself a little.”

HER BEST ADVICE: “Men are April when they woo, December when they wed: maids are May when they are maids, but the sky changes when they are wives.”

SHAKESPEAREAN COUPLE MOST LIKELY TO: Co-host a morning talk show.

WHO THEY REMIND YOU OF: Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan.

CHEMISTRY FACTOR: 3.5 OUT OF 5
