「Antonio Is Arrested, Viola Hopes」を読み解く

What's really going on

The scene quietly stacks two kinds of confusion. Antonio mistakes Viola for Sebastian, so his loyalty lands on the wrong twin — yet his words are true, and Viola hears them: 'In nature, there's no blemish but the mind.' For her, the error becomes hope. When he names Sebastian, she lets herself believe her brother lives, and the famous line follows — 'Prove true, imagination.' The play lets identity be both a trap and a gift: the same resemblance that gets Antonio arrested also gives Viola back a brother. The rest of the scene plays the mix for comedy, as the cowardly Sir Andrew is mocked as 'more a coward than a hare,' and Viola brushes off the man who cannot tell her from her twin.

Theme

IdentityAntonio mistakes Viola for Sebastian, and the same resemblance both arrests him and renews Viola's hope.
Family loveHearing Sebastian's name, Viola lets herself hope her lost twin is alive.

発音のポイント

  • Prove true — Soften the v in prove and lean on true.
  • salt waves — Link the t of salt straight into waves.
  • that is so is — The repeated is shrinks to a light schwa sound.
In nature, there's no blemish but the mind.

Antonio's moral claim: nature itself makes nothing ugly; the only true disfigurement is a bad mind.

Oh if it prove, tempests are kind and salt waves fresh in love.

Viola's hope: if her brother is alive, then even the storm and salt sea that separated them were kind, because they led to love.

Nothing that is so is so.

A line about confusion: things that clearly are true are being denied, as when someone won't admit who is standing in front of them.

None can be called deformed but the unkind.

Antonio's companion proverb: only the cruel, not the ugly, deserve to be called deformed.

I do not know you, nor I am not sent to you by my lady to bid you come speak with her.

Viola flatly denies knowing the man who insists he recognizes her, deepening his confusion.

このシーンについての質問

Why is Antonio arrested?

He is seized in the street because he once fought against the Duke's galleys at sea, so he has enemies in the city. He walks in danger, as he warned Sebastian.

Why does Antonio defend Cesario?

He thinks Cesario is Sebastian, the youth he saved from the sea. Loyal and mistaken, he argues that the young man is honorable and begs the officers to spare him.

Why does Viola hope after hearing Antonio?

Antonio names Sebastian, so Viola realizes her twin may still be alive. She says 'Prove true, imagination' and reasons that her brother's likeness is why she can pass as a man.

What does 'the jaws of death' mean?

It means the threat of death, pictured as a gaping mouth. Antonio says he snatched the youth 'one half out of the jaws of death' during the shipwreck.

Why is Sir Andrew called a coward?

He talks about fighting but never follows through. The others call him 'a very dishonest paltry boy and more a coward than a hare,' and joke he is religious in his cowardice.
