Shakespeare’s Monologues || As You Like It: Phebe (ACT III SCENE V) “Think not I love him...“

“Phebe“ performed by Octavia Selena Alexandru. “Think not I love him, though I ask for him; ’Tis but a peevish boy; yet he talks well. But what care I for words? Yet words do well When he that speaks them pleases those that hear. It is a pretty youth- not very pretty; But, sure, he’s proud; and yet his pride becomes him. He’ll make a proper man. The best thing in him Is his complexion; and faster than his tongue Did make offence, his eye did heal it up. He is not very tall; yet for his years he’s tall; His leg is but so-so; and yet ’tis well. There was a pretty redness in his lip, A little riper and more lusty red Than that mix’d in his cheek; ’twas just the difference Betwixt the constant red and mingled damask. There be some women, Silvius, had they mark’d him In parcels as I did, would have gone near To fall in love with him; but, for my part, I love him not, nor hate him not; and yet I have more cause to hate him than to love him; For what had he to do to chide at me? He said mine eyes were black, and my hair black, And, now I am rememb’red, scorn’d at me. I marvel why I answer’d not again; But that’s all one: omittance is no quittance. I’ll write to him a very taunting letter, And thou shalt bear it; wilt thou, Silvius?“ Cinematography & Editing: The Insane Artist 1st AD: Tabitha Catherine Reis-Bennett Instagram: Personal Film Projects: TV/Film/Stage Credits: Video editing for young talents: IMDb: My special thanks go to: * The Acting/Dialect Coach, Mrs Julie Austin * Hair & Make-up: Tabi Reis * The Team and Dedicated Photography Tutors, Roland Pokrywka and Aga King * Mum & Dad
