In the play As You Like It, context influences people to change from bad to good. This is different from the classic psychology experiments on the power of context, which typically demonstrate the power of context to move normal individuals to harm others (moving from good to bad). The change of context in As You Like It involves people moving from the royal court to the wild forest. The nature of “correct” behavior is determined by context. The new normative system prevailing in the forest leads to shifts in the evaluation of emotions, so that what is shunned at court (e.g., melancholy) becomes highly valued by some. Also, the materialism of court is abandoned in favor of a more simple life. This leads to two brothers, the usurping duke and Oliver, to abandon power and material riches in favor of their brothers. The change of context is also associated with a blurring of gender roles in some cases.
