Julia

• Cardinal: 'Thou art a witty, false one'
• Cardinal: 'Why do you weep? Are tears your justification?'
• Cardinal: 'I have taken you off your melancholy perch, / Bore you upon my fist, and showed you game, / And let you fly at it.'
• Cardinal: 'Just like one / That hath a little fingering on the lute, / Yet cannot tune it.'
• Julia: 'I'll go ask my husband if I shall, / And straight return your answer.'
• Pescara: 'The Cardinal's mistress'
• Pescara: 'Tis a gratification / Only due to a strumpet, for it is injustice.'
• Julia: 'What an excellent shape hath that fellow!'
• Julia: 'Which of my women 'twas you hired to put / Love powder into my drink?'
• Julia: 'This nice modesty in ladies / Is but a troublesome familiar / That haunts them.'
• Julia: 'Put yourself to the charge of courting me, / Whereas now I woo you'
• Julia: 'He might count me as a wanton, / Not lay a scruple of offence on you'
• Julia: 'You shall see me wind my tongue about his heart'
• Cardinal: 'Yond's my lingering consumption'
• Cardinal: 'I will swear you to't upon this book'
• Julia: 'Most religiously'
• Julia: 'I forgive you'
• Female characters are trapped in a world where the 'patriarchal mindset predisposed to see women in terms of the binary oppositions of angel and whore' dominates.
