  • Wilt Thou Be Gone? [Shakespeare For You]

    Wilt Thou Be Gone? [Shakespeare For You]

    🎭 Wilt thou be gone?

    — Proteus, Two Gentlemen of Verona 1-1

    [ACTING TIPS]

    You can say this in any tone, feeling, and style.  You can say this sadly.  You can say this nonchalantly as if he doesn’t really care, although he really doesn’t want him to go.  You can say this as if you had enough.  Or, you can say this as if he is your love, which is possible during Shakespearean era.

    The same phrase is used by Juliet in the famous bed scene.

  • Too Much Of A Good Thing [Shakespeare For You]

    Too Much Of A Good Thing [Shakespeare For You]

    🎭 Why then, can one desire too much of a good thing?

    — Rosalind, As You Like It 4-1

    [ACTING TIPS]

    Rosalind, as a boy, wants her loved one to see an honest reality of a girl, for he (Orlando) idealises his love.  “Desire too much” leads to greed which is one of  the Seven Deadly Sins.  Let her play a playful wanton boy who allures an adult man into some mischiefs.  It’s important that in Shakespearean time, no woman wore trousers.  Rosalind must be feeling so free in her outfit now.
