Nature is the source of inspiration for many, but pastoral can be repetitive, always focusing on romance, singing, etc. An example of this can be seen with trees; they are a standard symbol in pastoral writing and frequently show up, but by using this as a framework, the writer is free to use them in more creative and less standards way.]]> 2020-01-28 17:56:36 UTC https://padlet.com/solomon_deborah1/brzqs6dssnhs/wish/437140803 Artificial vs Genuine (G1) https://padlet.com/solomon_deborah1/brzqs6dssnhs/wish/437140967 Hymen

Genuine: tree is snobbish (like the elites who manufactured the pond) and refuses to acknowledge. Can't always divert from misgivings to nature in only writing about country.]]> 2020-01-28 17:57:04 UTC https://padlet.com/solomon_deborah1/brzqs6dssnhs/wish/437141120 country vs court https://padlet.com/solomon_deborah1/brzqs6dssnhs/wish/437141526 "'Tis just the fashion; wherefore do you look
Upon that poor and broken bankrupt there?'
Thus most invectively he pierceth through 
The body of country, city, court
Yea, and of this our life, swearing that we
Are mere usurpers, tyrants, and what's worse, 
To fright the animals and to kill them up
In their assigned and native dwelling-place." 2.1.59-65

COUNTRY
they're happier freer, more safe in the country, free to express love and emotion which leads to more genuine writing that moves the plot along

COURT 
it is a place of organization, more material joys like jewels that are mentioned, more entertainment like the fools

The Opposing Argument:  The pastoral element of the setting being in the country was the incorrect choice based upon quality of life in the city versus the country.

From Phaedrus:   SOC. Very true, my good friend ; and I hope that you will He is B excuse me when you hear the reason, which is, that I am a ~'~~~'e lover of knowledge, and the men who dwell in the city are and of man my teachers, and not the trees or the country. (This is for cities over country)
From Country Life:  None then did envy neighbour's wealth
    Nor plot to wrong his bed;
Happy in friendship and in health,
    On roots, not beasts, they fed.


The golden age did entertain
    No passion but of love;
The thoughts of ruling and of gain
    Did ne'er their fancies move.]]> 2020-01-28 17:59:09 UTC https://padlet.com/solomon_deborah1/brzqs6dssnhs/wish/437142602 privacy vs fellowship https://padlet.com/solomon_deborah1/brzqs6dssnhs/wish/437145864 Satyr with pipes and wind spirit

He argues that a woman's presence is central to pastorals, but also "listens" to the thoughts of the tree, which apparently argues that the memory of a woman is not the same.

Rosalind herself refers to the poetry and beauty she has found from the carved tree. Touchstone responds that “the tree yields bad fruit.” Rather than allowing her character to orally contemplate and work through the words’ meanings (which, in a sense, could go to a more  “pastoral” direction), he inserts his character and direction, insinuating some poison or negative connotation to what the country/nature has provided. It twists the tone overall and shifts what could have potentially served as a pastoral purpose.]]> 2020-01-28 18:09:24 UTC https://padlet.com/solomon_deborah1/brzqs6dssnhs/wish/437150728
