Today’s Totally Random
Line(s)
The
more degenerate and base art thou,
To
make such means for her as thou hast done,
And
leave her on such slight conditions.
-Duke
Two Gentlemen of Verona Act V, Scene iv, Line 136
From what I can tell, he left her because
she didn’t want him and wanted Valentine more. So how is that a slight
condition, and how does that make him degenerate and base? I dunno,
maybe I misunderstood it. I don’t know this play very well. I’ve only posted on
it twelve times in the past six and a half years, and never on Act V. It’s not really high on my list of plays
to see either.
The enclosed bridge in the background of this pic (taken in Manhattan this past weekend) made me think of the Bridge of Sighs in Venice. I've only seen pictures of that bridge, because I've never been to Venice. But Venice is very high on my list of places to see; much higher than Two Gentlemen of Verona.
