Love And Desire Flashcards
Act 1 Scene 1- literally the first line of the play, it’s not looking good for you orsino, calm it down.
If music be the food of love, play on give me excess of it; that surfeiting the appetite may sicken and so die
Act 2 Scene 3- Feste is very philosophical here, love is a tricky subject
What is love? Tis not here hereafter; present merth hath present laughter
Act 2 Scene 5- Viola sits on a gravestone and tells the story of her sister (none of its real btw)
She sat like patience on a monument, smiling at grief. Was not this love indeed?
Act 2 scene 4- you gotta tell people what you really think of them, isn’t that right viola? Worms can eat you pretty fast
She never told her love but let concealment like a worm i’th’bud feed on her damask cheek
Act 2 Scene 3- how do journeys end? Feste has an answer as usual
Journeys end in lovers meeting
Act 1 Scene 4- Orsino has become very vulnerable with Viola, a bit too open perhaps?
I have unclasped to thee the book of even my secret soul
Act 3 Scene 3- Antonio has a hidden desire for Orsino, it’s very sharp
My desire more sharp than filed steel
