Touchstone and Audrey - relationship

Touchstone and Audreys relationship is playful and comedic , unlike Rosalind and Orlando it is not filled with deep love but more on the surface want. Touchstone likes the way Audrey looks and wants her and Audrey likes Toucshtones position is society and wants to marry him for status. therefore in a sense it could be said that they use each other , however at the same time there is no sense of wickedness to the relationship and especially as the play yes on it is clear to see they are very fond of each other even if they do not share deep love.

Touchstone like the fact that Audrey is a country bumpkin and not an intelligent woman , she is very different to girls at court and although Touchstone is very found of Ceilai and Roaslind he loves to play around with the fact he is from court and Audrey is from the forest. Touchstone is able to have fun with Audrey and he defeintly like the look of her and is attracted to her. We see this want from the way he repeats her name in the scene where he is going to marry her with sir oliver martext.

The scene with Oliver Martext is interesting as it is slightly puzzling as to what Touchstone wants. Using his clever wit he decides that if the useless vicar Sir Oliver marries him to Audrey than he will have a good excuse to leave her , suggesting he wants her for one thing and when he is done he can leave her . However Touchstone does not let Sir Oliver marry them in the end and tells audrey they will find another time. This is partly spurred on by Jaques commentary to being married in such a low way for a man of court , yet i also think it is because Touchstone does really care for Audrey. Though it is a fun relationship he enjoys her company and how he can act around her , its almost like he actually respected Audrey and is charmed by her. Therefor he does not let the ridicule of wedding take place. This could always be looked on , on the other hand as Touchstone finding excuses so that he doesn't actually have to marry Audrey.

finding Touchstone and Audrey's relationship has been really fun and I think with rusher experimentation and bolder character choices our scene together will be effective.
