"I pray you, do not fall in love with me, For I am falser than vows made in wine" (V.iii.52)
The crazy, gender-confused love quadrilaterals in this story have a few things in common with the film genius that is What Happens In Vegas, starring Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz. Rosalind begs Phebe not to fall in love with her. She only makes Phebe like her/him/it more when she is rude to her. In the movie, Ashton and Cameron's characters get married one night when they're really drunk, which is a better decision than falling in love with Rosalind (according to Rosalind). The title of the movie really fits in with what happens in the forest. So many people fall in love with random people who are probably not actually acting as their normal self. If everything were to be reveled at the end of the play, I think a lot of people would be totally ashamed of their mistakes. It would be like that awkward moment when you marry someone you don't know in Las Vegas because you've had way too much to drink. Except, it's that awkward moment when you fall in love with a girl dressed up as a young boy pretending to be the girl that he/she actually is. Did that make sense? Okay, didn't think so. Just watch the movie trailer!
You're welcome ladies :)
