I find it humurous that there was a grand ol' happy ending when As You Like It ended. No one is mad at Rosalind for pretending to be a man. While discussing the play in class I could not help but think of movies where men dress as women or vice versa. In Tootsie Dustin Hoffman is shunned by the woman he fell in love with. Mrs. Doubtfire the same. Although there is a happy ending everyone is still fairly pissed off at them for lying. The worst one I can think of however is Boys Don't Cry I have a feeling in that day and age, Rosalind would have been in the same situation as the Hillary Swank. Raped and beaten... hey raped... that fits real well with mythology.
