Most people feel guilty about comedy.
And they do like many of these. But often when they find themselves enjoying equally well an entertainment which does not appear to indite, provoke, or utter, they feel that their taste must be low, that they are guilty of savoring childish sweets inappropriate to serious adult life. It is a case in point. A duke, his daughter Rosalind, and her eventual husband Orlando are exiled for very slight reasons. All wander about the Forest of Arden, where they meet various absurd characters and discourse on life and love.
