Why This It Is [Shakespeare For You]

🎭 Why this it is:  my heart accords thereto,
And yet a thousand times it answers ‘No”.

— Proteus, Two Gentlemen of Verona 1-3

[ACTING TIPS]

(In the video, I say “Why, this is it.”  Shakespeare says “Why, this it is”. (same meaning)

This is an interesting phrase.  Check the mixed feeling in him, part of it is willing to go, and the other part still saying no.  Be amused. 

Or, it seems he is ready to go, but tells us his unwillingness only because he doesn’t want us to see him changeable.
