HUNDREDS 0 ILLUSTRATIONS The Ideal Life When Shakespeare, with his deep insight into human nature, pictured the ideal life, he did not select his characters from them in the environ- h their fetid and rancid among the dwellers in cities, or p ment of the crowded haunts of men wi atmosphere of moral and physical corruption, their cheap estimates of human worth, their sordid aims, that have ever made every big city a festering sore on the body politic, and a menace to humanity when Shakespeare—seer as well as sage, who has illuminated with the brilliancy of the noonday sun every point of morals, of manners, of statecraft, of social philosophy, of taste, of the conduct of life- shows us the conditions under which a nearly perfect state of society is possible, he selects as his stage the Forest of Arden, remote from the untruth, hypocrisy, ignorance and violence of a society pursuing its own selfish aims, and within the sylvan shades of this Arcadia a fascinating company of exiles realize mode and conception of life that is ide: racy because each member of the happy band is an aristocrat in the sense of nobility of heart and char- lin its democ- acter. *“As You Like It’’ describes a life that would please everyone.
