🎭 LUCETTA: But in what habit will you go along?
JULIA: Not like a woman, for I would prevent
The loose encounters of lascivious men.
— Julia & Lucetta, Two Gentlemen of Verona 2-7
[ACTING TIPS]
This is the first moment in Shakespearean plays that a female character decides to go “not like a woman”. Rosalind, Viola, Portia, Jessica, Imogen follow.
I would think how dangerous at that time to pretend other than your own status. Julia needed a proper excuse (reason) to become “not like a woman”. She has chosen it to protect her own chastity, which is fair enough.
