I.2• Exposition

• A young lady comes

to a new country:

• Who is she?

• What happens to her?

• Does she have

family?

• What country is this?

• Who governs Illyria?

• Who live here?

• What is Viola

planning to do?

I.2.42-46

Vio. O! that I serv’d

that lady,

And might not be

deliver’d to the world,

Till I had made mine own

occasion mellow,

What my estate is (that

my position might not be

made known to the world

until the time is ripe.).

Cap. That were

hard to compass

(arrange),

Because she will admit

(take notice of) no kind

of suit (request),

No, not the duke’s.

I.2.59-64

Vio. What else may hap

(happen) to time I will

commit;

Only shape (adapt) thou

thy silence to my wit

(invention).

Cap. Be you his

eunuch, and your mute

(dumb servant) I’ll be:

When my tongue blabs

(tells tales), then let mine

eyes not see.

Vio. I thank thee: lead

me on. [Exeunt.
