3. CHARACTERS
Proteus: Valentine's supposed best friend and one of the title gentleman of Verona, though he behaves in a most
ungentlemanly fashion. He is Julia's sweetheart at the beginning of the play, but when he joins Valentine at the
Duke's palace, he falls in love with Silvia and attempts to steal her away from Valentine and Thurio.
Valentine - The other title gentlemen of Verona. He is Proteus' best friend, and Silvia's love. Banished to the forest
after Proteus betrays his plan to elope with Silvia to the Duke, Valentine becomes king of the outlaws.
Julia - Proteus' beloved, and mistress to the servant Lucetta. Desiring to travel to Milan to visit Proteus, Julia
disguises herself as a high-class male page in order to avoid advances along the journey. Calling herself Sebastian,
she does Proteus' bidding, delivering the ring she had earlier given him to his new beloved, Silvia.

4. CHARACTERS
Silvia - Daughter to the Duke and beloved of Valentine, also sought after by Proteus and Thurio. Silvia
commiserates with Sebastian over the wrong that Proteus has done to Julia. She escapes her father's
palace with the help of Sir Eglamour, who abandons her at the sight of the outlaws.
Duke of Milan - Silvia's father, the Duke wants her to marry the boorish but wealthy suitor Sir Thurio.
Upon hearing of Valentine's plot to elope with Silvia, the Duke banishes Valentine.
Lucetta - Julia's servant, who considers love from a practical point of view. Lucetta helps Julia disguise
herself as a man.
Launce - Proteus' humorous servant, and master to a poorly-trained mutt named Crab. His devotion to
his dog knows no bounds. He falls in love with an ugly but wealthy maid.

5. CHARACTERS
Speed - Valentine's page, though at the beginning of the play he does Proteus' bidding as well. He is
friendly with Launce.
Thurio - A foolish rival to Valentine for Silvia's hand. Thurio is very rich, but does not make for pleasant
company.

to find her love, Valentine, and to avoid marrying Thurio.
Antonio - Father to Proteus and master to the servant Panthino.

7. SYNOPSIS
Valentine is leaving his friend Proteus in order to take up residence at the Duke’s court in Milan; but Proteus stays in Verona
to be near his love, Julia. Julia talks about falling in love to her waiting-woman Lucetta, expressing indifference, and tears up
a letter from Proteus, though immediately regretting her action.
Proteus’ father, Antonio, decides to send Proteus to the Duke’s court, where Valentine is in love with the Duke’s daughter,
Silvia. Proteus leaves, professing constancy and exchanging rings with Julia. Valentine asks Proteus to help him elope with
Silvia, but Proteus falls in love with her himself, and expresses his determination to have her. The two men’s servants,
Launce and Speed, meet and discuss the parting of Proteus from Julia. Julia decides to follow Proteus to Milan, disguising
herself as a man.
Proteus informs the Duke of Valentine’s plan. The Duke engages Valentine in conversation on the subject of how to reach a
lady’s chamber at night, makes Valentine reveal the rope-ladder and letter intended for Silvia, and promptly banishes him.
On his way towards Mantua, Valentine is captured by outlaws in a forest, but he impresses them greatly and they make him
their leader. Launce discusses the qualities of his own love, a milkmaid, with Speed.
The Duke, who wants Silvia to marry the wealthy Thurio, asks Proteus to use his influence with her to make her forget
Valentine and notice Thurio. Julia, disguised as a page called Sebastian, arrives in Milan and is disgusted to overhear
Proteus wooing Silvia on his own behalf. Silvia rejects Proteus’ advances, and approaches Sir Eglamour for help to escape
from Milan and reach Valentine. Proteus takes ‘Sebastian’ into his service. He gives her a ring and a letter to take to Silvia,
who refuses it and tears up the letter, expressing sympathy for the forsaken Julia, whom ‘Sebastian’ describes to her.

8. SYNOPSIS
Proteus and ‘Sebastian’ follow Silvia out of Milan. She is captured by the outlaws, but rescued by Proteus, who tries to force
her to yield to him. Valentine, who has observed everything, comes to her aid. He tells Proteus that he can have Silvia,
which causes Julia to faint. Her identity is revealed when Proteus recognizes the ring she is wearing as the one he had
given her. Her fidelity rekindles his love for her.
The outlaws capture the Duke and Thurio, who have come in pursuit of Silvia, and they are brought before Valentine, who
reveals his identity. Thurio claims Silvia, but immediately yields when Valentine threatens to fight him. The Duke applauds
Valentine’s spirit, repeals his banishment, and gives him Silvia. Valentine obtains pardon for the outlaws. All return to Milan,
where marriages are planned between Valentine and Silvia and between Proteus and Julia.
