The Anxiety of Attire: The Troubling Subtext of As You Like It

Question: Did anyone find it odd that Orlando cannot tell Rosalind from a man?

A slight historical interlude: Sumptuary laws were enacted in England during this time These made it a crime to wear certain clothes e.g. a woman wearing a man’s clothing. Driving force behind the laws is a fear within society about the role of identity? Do the clothes make the man or the man the clothes? Theaters were often running up against this problem.
