Shakespeare Character Blog - Term 4

Where is your character?

Second Lord to Duke Senior:
Originally, my character lived in the clubhouse with his brother Duke Frederick, but he has been banished to live in the Forest of Arden.
Originally, I believe that the clubhouse in which my character previously used to live would've been a posh and well-presented place to live, where they are in the best of conditions.
However, as my character has now been banished to the Forest of Arden, I imagine that there is a sense of freedom, in which the clubhouse wouldn't have had.
Despite this, because of the total freedom, there is also a chance for any criminals to enter the 'Forest of Arden', so at all times there is a sense of danger in which my character and the other characters have to always be aware of, making them alert at all times. For example, when 'Jacques' comes to our camp in the forest, we instantly gather our golf clubs and prepare to defend ourselves from any unwanted guests, however, it turns out he is just there to inform us about a 'motley fool', and again when we hear of a fool we prepare to defend ourselves.
Our camp is much more friendlier towards other characters, for example when 'Adam' joins us, we look after him and allow him and 'Orlando' to share our food around the campfire, so instantly I believe that the mood is usually uplifted when around us in the Forest of Arden.
First Page:
First page lives in the 'Forest of Arden'. The mood of the forest gives a sense of freedom for my character in which she enjoys. The atmosphere is always happy for First Page, as she and the Second page are always willing to welcome new guests with a song. My character feels free-spirited in this forest, and wouldn't like to be in the court or clubhouse because there is a lack of choice and freedom. 
When Touchstone enters the 'Forest of Arden', the mood goes down slightly, as he says that we  have wasted his time by singing such a song, however, that doesn't stop the happiness from First and Second Page from showing through.
