Duke Senior in Act Three does not appear in the text, but he still plays an important role in the plot of the play. Even though you dont hear from him, he still has importance and significance to other characters. Duke Senior is still an outcast from Duke Frederick's, his brother, court. He still presides in the Forest of Arden with his band of merry men, along with other characters that have ventured into the forest as well. He has met with his daughter, but not knowing it was her, and she talked with him.
Duke Senior is in the Forest of Arden enjoying the life of an exile during Act Three. He doesnt really ever move from the Forest, and he enjoys it there so he shouldn't have to. He doesnt ever appear on stage either in Act Three.
Duke Seniors goal in this act is to lay low and have a good time with trustworthy friends. He wants and acheives this in all acts. He doesnt want to cause harm to anybody or cause conflict between anybody, so he pretty much stays on everybodys side for most of the time.
The relastionships with the Duke and other characters remain the same, but also more relationships develop off the stage. Ganymede visits the Duke in the Forest and speaks with him, and, of course, he doesnt realize the Ganymede is actually his daughter, Rosilynde. That relationship remains good and healthy, and she praises his parenting in a sly way. "I met the Duke yesterday and had much/ question with him. He asked me of what parentage, I was. I told him, of as good as he. So he laughed/ and let me go."(33-36, 3.4)
