Duke Senior takes his banishment to the Forest of Arden by his evil brother, Duke Frederick, very much in stride. Shakespeare wrote him to be a good, kind man - one who does not seek to use his power to subject and control other people. He takes to his life in the forest very well, enjoying the fact that the natural environment does not suck up to him with "flattering ambition" as people at court are prone to do.
