In Shakespeare's tragedies, the ""dénouement"" is usually the death of one or more characters. Freytag's analysis was intended to apply to ancient Greek and Shakespearean drama, not modern.

"George Peele, Thomas Preston, Robert Wilson, and one Richard Bower. No convincing case has been made for any single candidate. ""Clyomon and Clamydes"" is thought to have had an influence on several of Shakespeare's plays. Most notably, Rosalind in ""As You Like It"" disguises herself in male clothing and flees courtly life for residence among simple shepherds—just as Neronis does in her play. In ""A Midsummer Night's Dream"", the playlet of the mechanicals in Act V bears a resemblance with ""Clyomon and Clamydes"", though in this case the resemblance is clearly in a spirit of parody. And the late romance"

It ranks among Harold Bloom's favourite Burgess novels. He noted it in his book, """", as the most effective biography of Shakespeare, and proposed it as a canonical work in that book's appendices."

The Arden edition of Shakespeare makes the suggestion that the name ""Arden"" comes from a combination of the classical region of Arcadia and the biblical garden of Eden, as there is a strong interplay of classical and Christian belief systems and philosophies within the play.

William Shakespeare’s play ""As You Like It"" clearly falls into the Pastoral Romance genre; but Shakespeare does not merely use the genre, he develops it. Shakespeare also used the Pastoral genre in ""As You Like It"" to ‘cast a critical eye on social practices that produce injustice and unhappiness, and to make fun of anti-social, foolish and self-destructive behaviour’, most obviously through the theme of love, culminating in a rejection of the notion"
