Focusing to Freewrite: part 3

Act III: Scene i: line 148: Viola: "Then think you right. I am not what I am."
Olivia: "I would you were as I would have you be."


Viola here, tells Olivia to stop denying who she really is, and it response Olivia tells Viola that she thinks the same of her. The above quotes are filled with sarcasm and bitterness I feel. That Viola is not what Olivia believes here to be, and Olivia simply tells her to be herself, that she loves her for what she is and nothing more than that. How she loves Cesario more than anything else, and even though she loves him soo deeply she understands now that he doesn't necessarily have to feel the same way about her.
