🎭 She dreams of him that has forgot her love;
You dote on her that cares not for your love.
’Tis pity love should be so contrary;
And thinking of it makes me cry ‘Alas.’
— Julia, Two Gentlemen of Verona 4-4
[ACTING TIPS]
Julia, disguised as a boy Sebastian, is talking to Proteus (her boyfriend while in Verona) who shows his love toward Sylvia. Sebastian sighed deeply and Proteus asked why, and thus answered.
I would play this with true sadness. But to hide her true nature, I may act as if nothing important is happening, as if this is a funny situation. I may make fun of Proteus, I may act nonchalant young boy like Ganymede in As You Like It.
