First pass through this play. I noticed the use of the word 'painted' or 'pomp', possibly both, when a character describes the normal social expectations in society. One of his characters also uses 'envy' or 'envious' to describe the court (I forgot to note the scenes). This brought me right back to As You Like It. Duke Senior: hath not old customs made this life more sweet than that of painted pomp? are not these woods more free from peril than the envious court?
