🎭A true-devoted pilgrim is not weary
To measure kingdoms with his feeble steps;
Much less shall she that hath Love’s wings to fly,
— Julia, Two Gentlemen of Verona 2-7
[ACTING TIPS]
Julia has told her maid Lucetta that she is going to visit her love Proteus in Milan. Lucetta told her the road is long and winding. And Julia says…
I would play this as a teacher. Teach Lucetta what a true pilgrim is like, and with that example, her travel should be much easier.
I will not forget she compares herself as a pilgrim, which means she deificate Proteus.
Here again, we see Shakespeare’s favorite reference of Love and wings. Also, we notice the example of “pilgrim”, like in Romeo and Juliet.
