"As You Like It " by William Shakespeare SHORT BENGALI SUMMARY :

ফ্রান্সের একটি ডিউকডমে, এক usurper সেখানকার বৈধ ডিউককে নির্বাসিত করে নিজেই ক্ষমতা দখল করেছিল। নির্বাসিত ডিউকের মেয়ে Rosalind, usurper র নিজের মেয়ে Celiaর অনুরোধে রাজপ্রাসাদে থেকে গিয়েছিল।

একসময় একজন অভিজ্ঞ কুস্তিগীর এবং এক তরুণের মধ্যে একটি কুস্তির প্রতিযোগিতা অনুষ্ঠিত হয়েছিল সেখানে। সবাই ভাবছিলো তরুণটি মারা যাবে, এবং Rosalind আর Celia তাকে অনুরোধও করে কুস্তি না করতে কিন্তু আশ্চর্যজনকভাবে তরুণটি বিজয়ী হয়েছিল এবং সে প্রকাশ করেছিল যে সে ছিল Orlando, Sir Rowland de Boysর ছোট ছেলে। বাবার নাম শুনে ডিউক তাকে আর পছন্দ করেনি, কিন্তু Rosalind প্রতিযোগিতা দেখে আর তার দুঃখের গল্প শুনে তার প্রেমে পড়ে যায়।

এবার ডিউক ফ্রেডারিক (Fredrick) Rosalindকে নির্বাসিত করে। Celia-র কথা তিনি আর শোনেন না। Celia তার দিদিকে যেতে দিতে চায় না তাই সেও ঠিক করে রোজালিন্ড-এর সাথে যাবে। আর সেইমত Rosalind তাঁর বোন Celiaকে নিয়ে আর্ডেনের জঙ্গলে পালিয়ে যায়। Rosalind ছেলেবেশে ‘গ্যানিমিড’ নামে আত্মগোপন করেছিল, এবং Celia ‘অ্যালিয়েনা’ নাম নিয়ে ছদ্মবেশ ধারণ করেছিল। তারা বনে গিয়ে ক্ষুধার্ত আর ক্লান্ত হয়ে পরে। ভাগ্যক্রমে তারা এক গ্রাম্য লোকের দেখা পায় আর তার সূত্র ধরেই একটা কটেজ আর ভেড়া কিনে নিয়ে সেখানে থাকতে শুরু করে ছদ্মবেশে। 

অন্যদিকে, (Orlando) অরল্যান্ডো তার বড় ভাই (Oliver) অলিভারের হাতে অবহেলিত হত, যে তাকে শিক্ষা ও সম্পত্তি থেকে বঞ্চিত করেছিল। Oliver প্রথমে কুস্তির প্রতিযোগিতার মাধ্যমে Orlandoকে হত্যা করার চেষ্টা করেছিল; তাতে ব্যর্থ হয়ে, পরে তাকে পুড়িয়ে মারার পরিকল্পনা করে। কিন্তু Orlando বিশ্বস্ত চাকর Adam (অ্যাডাম)-এর সহায়তায়, যে Oliver-র নির্মম পরিকল্পনা শুনে ফেলেছিল, বনে পালিয়ে গিয়েছিল। বনে গিয়ে তারা banished duke-কে খুঁজে পায় আর duke যখন জানতে পারে Orlando তার বন্ধুর ছেলে, সে তখন তাকে রেখে দেয় তারই অধীনে। 

অরণ্যে Orlando Rosalindর জন্য প্রেমের কবিতা গাছের গায়ে লিখে রাখতো। ছদ্মবেশে থাকা Rosalind (গ্যানিমিড) সেগুলি খুঁজে পেয়েছিল এবং Orlando-র সাথে কথা বলে তাকে প্রস্তাব দেয় যে সে তার প্রেমের পাগলামি "ভালো" করে দেবে। তার জন্য Orlandoকে তার প্রেমিকা Rosalind হিসেবে Ganymedeকে প্রেম নিবেদন করতে হবে। যে আসলে Rosalind-ই কিন্তু Orlando তাকে চিনতে পারেনি তার ছদ্মবেশ থাকায়। 

পরে Orlando এক সাপ ও এক সিংহীর হাত থেকে Oliver-কে রক্ষা করে। এই দেখে, Oliver র অনুশোচনা হয় যে সে যে ভাইকে এতো কষ্ট দিয়েছিলো মেরে ফেলতে চেয়েছিলো সে এতো বীরত্ব দেখিয়ে তার প্রাণ রক্ষা করলো। এরপর সে যখন Ganymede আর Aliena-র বাড়ি যায়, তার গল্প শুনে ছদ্মবেশে থাকা Celia তার প্রেমে পরে আর Oliver ও Celia র প্রেমে পড়ে।এরপর Oliver Alienaকে বা ছদ্মবেশী Celia) বিয়ে করার সিদ্ধান্ত নেয় আর Rosalindও Orlandoকে বিয়ে করার সিদ্ধান্ত নেয়।

বিয়ের দিনে সে তার আসল পরিচয় প্রকাশ করে এবং তার বাবা-মেয়ের পুনর্মিলন ঘটে। শেষ পর্যন্ত, Rosalind Orlandoকে বিয়ে করেছিল এবং Celia Oliverকে। সেই দিনই আর এক সুখবর আসে যে ডিউক Fredrick সিংহাসন ত্যাগ করে সন্ন্যাসী হওয়ার সিদ্ধান্ত নিয়েছে আর আসল ডিউককে তার dukedom ফিরিয়ে দেওয়া হল ।

"As You Like It" by William Shakespeare SHORT SUMMARY :

In a duchy of France, a usurper exiled its rightful Duke and seized power for himself. The Duke’s daughter, Rosalind, was allowed to remain in the palace at the request of the usurper’s own daughter, Celia.

One day, a wrestling match took place between a practised wrestler and a young man. Everyone assumed the young man would perish, and both Rosalind and Celia begged him not to participate. But to everyone’s surprise, he won—and revealed that he was Orlando, the youngest son of Sir Rowland de Boys. Upon hearing Orlando’s father's name, the Duke grew cold toward him. Yet Rosalind, moved by the competition and his tale of sorrow, quietly fell in love.

Soon, Duke Frederick banished Rosalind. He no longer listened to Celia either. Unwilling to let her sister go alone, Celia decided to accompany Rosalind. Disguised as a boy named “Ganymede,” Rosalind fled to the Forest of Arden with Celia, who assumed the alias “Aliena.” Exhausted and starving, they eventually found a kind villager who helped them buy a cottage and a flock of sheep, and they settled into their new life in disguise.

Meanwhile, Orlando was being mistreated by his elder brother, Oliver, who deprived him of both education and inheritance. At first, Oliver tried to kill him through the wrestling match. Failing that, he planned to burn Orlando alive. But Adam, Orlando’s loyal servant, overheard the brutal plot and helped him escape into the forest. There, Orlando discovered the banished Duke, who welcomed him once he realized Orlando was the son of his old friend.

In the forest, Orlando wrote love poems to Rosalind and carved them into tree trunks. Disguised as Ganymede, Rosalind found the poems and began speaking to Orlando, offering to "cure" him of his lovesickness. To do so, she insisted that Orlando woo Ganymede as if he were Rosalind—unaware he was actually speaking to her the whole time.

Later, Orlando saved Oliver from a snake and a lioness. Witnessing this act of heroism, Oliver was filled with remorse for the pain he had caused his brother. When he visited the home of Ganymede and Aliena, his story stirred Celia—still in disguise—and she fell in love with him. Oliver and Celia decided to marry, and Rosalind chose to wed Orlando.

On the wedding day, Rosalind revealed her true identity, leading to a joyous reunion with her father. In the end, Rosalind married Orlando, and Celia married Oliver. That same day brought even more good news: Duke Frederick renounced the throne and chose to live as a hermit, restoring the rightful Duke to power.
