Through song/verse, Shakespeare presents the favourable image of the forest, subtly suggesting that there are worse enemies within the court.
This ‘fortune’ is a great gift: the gift of being able to return to the court and their other material belongings. Through this metaphor,Shakespeare highlights the sense of belonging he himself truly finds at court-so is it in the natural world, or the material world that we truly find belonging.
By asking this of the audience (presenting juxtapositionwithin question), Shakespeare is persuading/positioning them to believe thatexile/the natural world is preferable to court.
Negative connotations re:Orlando’s home (not Adam’s!)- ‘butchery’ highlights the peril provided within.
Envious’ provides a negative connotation about his home inparticular referencing the ‘envy’ of his brother that resulted in his exile,again alienation.
Negative connotations to current ‘home’ – she has no pleasure due to her father’s absence = sense of alienation.
