Shakespeare's 'As You Like It' is a finest kind of romantic comedy. A romantic comedy is a play in which violates the classical or neo-classical rigid rules and norms and deals with love at first sight, unbridled emotions and passions, imagination and fancy, fun and laughter.

As You Like It is a romantic play also by virtue of the fact that it does not observe any of the three dramatic unities namely the unity of time, the unity of place and the unity of action. The unity of time demands that the action of a play should cover not more than twenty-four hours while the action of As You Like It occurs over a period of at least days. The unity of place demands that the entire action of a play should occur in the same town or a place or any other place. But in As You Like It the scenes shift from the city to the forest of Arden, from the forest of Arden back to the city, and then again to the forest of Arden. The unity of action demands that a play should have a single plot and should not contain any subplots or under plots, in As You Like It we have as many as three sub-plots, besides the main plot. In other words, As You Like It has a loose structure.

Answer:

As You Like It is a pastoral comedy by William Shakespeare believed to have been written in 1599 and first published in the First Folio in 1623. The play's first performance is uncertain, though a performance at Wilton House in 1603 has been suggested as a possibility.

The play is set in a duchy in France, but most of the action takes place in a location called the Forest of Arden. This may be intended as the Ardennes, a forested region covering an area located in southeast Belgium, western Luxembourg and northeastern France, or Arden, Warwickshire, near Shakespeare's home town, which was the ancestral origin of his mother's family—whose surname was Arden.

Explanation:

As You Like It follows its heroine Rosalind as she flees persecution in her uncle's court, accompanied by her cousin Celia to find safety and, eventually, love, in the Forest of Arden. In the forest, they encounter a variety of memorable characters, notably the melancholy traveller Jaques who speaks many of Shakespeare's most famous speeches (such as "All the world's a stage", "too much of a good thing" and "A fool! A fool! I met a fool in the forest"). Jaques provides a sharp contrast to the other characters in the play, always observing and disputing the hardships of life in the country.

Historically, critical response has varied, with some critics finding the play a work of great merit and some finding it to be of lesser quality than other Shakespearean works. The play remains a favourite among audiences and has been adapted for radio, film, and musical theatre. The piece has been a favourite of famous actors on stage and screen, notably Vanessa Redgrave, Juliet Stevenson, Maggie Smith, Rebecca Hall, Helen Mirren, and Patti LuPone in the role of Rosalind and Alan Rickman, Stephen Spinella, Kevin Kline, Stephen Dillane, and Ellen Burstyn in the role of Jaques.
