Your lord does know my mind; I cannot love him: Yet I suppose him
virtuous, know him noble,
Of great estate, of fresh and stainless youth;
In
voices well divulged, free, learn'd and valiant; And in dimension and the shape
of nature
In this quote, Olivia is speaking
to Viola (dressed as Sebastian). Viola
is trying to convince Olivia to like Orsino, but Olivia responds by saying that
she doesn’t love him. She thinks he’s a nice person, young, rich, generous and
good looking but she still isn’t interested. She says how he should know this
by now. This quote shows how “in love” Olivia really is with Viola. It shows
that she’s very set in her mind that her heart is with Viola. Although Duke seems to be best option for
her, she isn’t as good as Viola. She explains how Orsino should know by now
that she isn’t interested in him because she has rejected any advances he makes
towards her.
