🎭 If ‘twere a substance you would sure deceive it
And make it but a shadow, as I am.
— Julia, Two Gentlemen of Verona 4-2
[ACTING TIPS]
It is said after hearing Proteus saying:
I am but a shadow, And to your shadow will I make true love.
How heartbreaking! Feeling that you are but a shadow.
Thinking of which, the self being a shadow appears again at one of the latest plays of Shakespeare, King Lear. Lear asks his Fool what he is and Fool answers “Lear’s shadow.”
Do you think Shakespeare remembers the line of Julia here, when he writes Lear?
