As You Like It: 3

"Neither call the giddiness of it in question, the poverty of her, the small acquaintance, my sudden wooing, nor her sudden consenting, but say with me, I love Aliena."

Love at first site seems to be the way to go in this world. People see each other and fall into an obsessive and overdramatic love. I personally think this is crazy and do not believe in love at first sight. Quoting When in Rome, "That's not even long enough for a credit check." In the end, there are going to be four marriages on one day. Rosalind to Orlando, Oliver to Celia, Phebe to Silvius, and Touchstone to Audrey. That is crazy! Everyone is moving way to fast. Thanks to Mr. Costello, I understand that this is how it is in comedies, but it is a bit unrealistic. I think that all of these people are merely infatuated. Maybe all of the fresh air is messing with the heads of all of the city people. Anyways, the love at first sight gets a bit annoying especially when reading it on Valentine's day. Oh well, I prefer this gooey love stuff over the death in Othello.
