"Brief, I recover'd him, bound up his wound; And, after some small space, being strong at heart, He sent me hither" IV.iii.65
This is the scene that Oliver saves his brother Orlando and bounds up his wound from the lionness. At the beginning of the play, Oliver hated his brother and wanted to burn him and his house down. This scene proves that Oliver is a dynamic character. We first see him as a hateful, vengeful brother who does not care for Orlando like he should when their father dies. He meets with Duke Frederick and has a change of heart. His change of heart could stem from the fact that even Duke Frederick calls him more villanous than himself, which is an insult. Oliver travels to the forest to find his brother and ends up showing him he loves him. Oliver's dynamic character is just one of few in the play.
