The last selection that I wanted to address is Rosalind’s epilogue. She begins by saying that “it is not the fashion to see the lady the epilogue…” (ln. 1), directly addressing the idea of what is “the fashion” among the genders. The intriguing aspect of Rosalind’s epilogue, thinking about the concept of gender, is that she does not only speak to the female readers/viewers, but also to the men. She encourages an equality between the genders rather than only encouraging strength in women. Perhaps as a result of her time disguised as Ganymede and the fluidity of her gender while wearing that disguise, she has a better perspective of both genders. Another fascinating aspect of her epilogue comes in the very last line: “If I were a woman I would kiss as many of you as had beards…” (ln.16). This could be interpreted in a number of ways. The footnote in Bevington’s The Necessary Shakespeare states: “Women’s parts on the Elizabethan stage were played by boys in feminine costume”. So, is the speech supposed to be presented as the actor? If it is intended to remain in character with Rosalind then this could signify something completely different: that she was not actually a woman. Or, keeping with the idea that Rosalind and Celia were in a romantic relationship, it is possible that she would not see herself as the woman of the relationship because of Celia’s feminine qualities and Rosalind’s fluidity. Whatever the case, the fact that Rosalind closes the play with this epilogue presents an idea shared by many scholar’s, that this is Rosalind’s play.
