Main topic

Belonging to the Natural World

Duke Senior’s Men, Act II, Sc V: “Here shall he see No enemy But winter and rough weather”

Through song/verse, Shakespeare presents the favourable image of the forest, subtly suggesting that there are worse enemies within the court.

Juxtaposition through verse

Duke Senior, Act V Sc IV: “…returnèd fortune”

This ‘fortune’ is a great gift: the gift of being able to return to the court and their other material belongings. Through this metaphor,Shakespeare highlights the sense of belonging he himself truly finds at court-so is it in the natural world, or the material world that we truly find belonging.
 

Metaphor

Duke Senior, Act II Sc I: “Hath not old custom made this life more sweet than that of painted pomp?” AND/OR “Are not these woods more free from peril than the envious court?”

By asking this of the audience (presenting juxtapositionwithin question), Shakespeare is persuading/positioning them to believe thatexile/the natural world is preferable to court.
