🎭Heavy? Belike it hath some burden then?
— Julia, Two Gentlemen of Verona 1-2
[ACTING TIPS]
The word “burden” in Shakespeare, when female characters use, it means to be under the lover or husband in bed, or even to conceive a baby.
So, when Julia hears the word “heavy, ” immediately change the meaning into this, at the same time, retain the original meaning of “burden”.
Showing the double meaning is one of the trickiest things in Shakespeare.
