How did the happy reunion happen at the end of As You Like It?

What we see at the end of the play “As You Like It” all the major characters of the play whether it is Rosalind and Orlando or Celia and Oliver or the Duke Senior and Duke Ferdinand all are get united. Theme of reconciliation and forgiveness can be seen at the end of play. The theme of happy reunion is also an another aspects of this play because we see in the last of the play that the daughter, Miranda meet to his exiled father and also meet with his passionate lover Orlando.at the end of the play Duke Ferdinand realises his follies and to apologise for that with his brother Senior Duke, and the senior duke forgives Orlando. In most of the plays of William Shakespeare we see the happy ending at the end of the play which makes the play a blending of romanticism and these type of plays are known as Romantic comedy, is a creation of William Shakespeare only. Before the end of this play a marriage ceremony has been organised which has been used as a dramatic technique by Shakespeare. Such themes can also be seen in The Tempest where a Masque scene has been organised. Shakespeare uses this dramatic method for a pause, after that happy ending or the reunion has been taken place.

Those dark-skinned people who ones named Cooloolah  knew that no land is lost or own by wars, for earth is spirit; the invaders feet will tangle in nets there and his blood be thinned by fears. Riding at noon and ninety years ago, my grandfather was beckoned by a ghost a black acc...

Adonais and pastoral elegy

The  pastoral elegy  is a poem about both death and idyllic rural life. Often, the pastoral elegy features shepherds. The genre is actually a subgroup of  pastoral poetry , as the elegy takes the pastoral elements and relates them to expressing grief at a loss. This form of poetry has several key features, including the invocation of the Muse, expression of the shepherd's, or poet's, grief, praise of the deceased, a tirade against death, a detailing of the effects of this specific death upon nature, and eventually, the poet's simultaneous acceptance of death's inevitability and hope for immortality. Additional features sometimes found within pastoral elegies include a procession of mourners, satirical digressions about different topics stemming from the death, and symbolism through flowers, refrains, and rhetorical questions.[1] The pastoral elegy is typically incredibly moving and in its most classic form, it concerns itself with simple, country figures.
