🎭
Julia: Keep this remembrance for thy Julia’s sake.
Proteus: Why then, we’ll make exchange: here, take you this.
Julia: And seal the bargain with a holy kiss.
— Julia & Proteus, Two Gentlemen of Verona 2-2
[ACTING TIPS]
The conversation reminds me of Romeo and Juliet. They exchange holy kiss with their palms. And the whole love-bonding “ceremony” is lead by Julia, like Juliet takes the lead in the balcony scene. The exchange of the ring appears in many Shakespeare plays, too.
I am amused with the casual feeling of Proteus. Of course you can play him seriously, but the weight of his words looks lighter than Julia’s. What do you think?
