I left no ring with her: what means this lady?

- trying to
figure out why the ring has been delivered to her.

Fortune forbid my outside have not charm’d her! - realises

that they have fallen in love with her.

She made good view of me; indeed, so much,

That sure methought her eyes had lost her tongue,
For she did speak in starts distractedly. - was distracted by
the looks that she couldn’t speak properly

She loves me, sure; the cunning of her passion

Invites me in this churlish messenger. - she is leading this
situation
None of my lord’s ring! why, he sent her none.

I am the man: if it be so, as ’tis, - realises shes the man that

ring has been delivered to.
Poor lady, she were better love a dream. - in reality, for
olivia it’s a fantasy

Disguise, I see, thou art a wickedness,

Wherein the pregnant enemy does much.
How easy is it for the proper-false
In women’s waxen hearts to set their forms! - women to
easily fall in love
Alas, our frailty is the cause, not we!
For such as we are made of, such we be. - it is the
patriarchy's fault.
How will this fadge? my master loves her dearly; - what will
happen now?
And I, poor monster, fond as much on him;
And she, mistaken, seems to dote on me.
What will become of this? As I am man, - working out the
love triangle
My state is desperate for my master’s love;
As I am woman,–now alas the day!–
What thriftless sighs shall poor Olivia breathe!

O time! thou must untangle this, not I; - going to wait out the
time, until it settles.
It is too hard a knot for me to untie!

The overall objective of this monologue is to figure out why

she has been given this ring. That it shows the thought
process of viola and how she come to realise that this has
become a situation. Also, that Olivia has fallen in love with
her as a man. She tries to make sense of the situation and
ultimately come to the conclusion that she will just have to
wait and see what will become of the situation. Just before
this monologue is given, Viola dressed as a man (Cesario)
has left Olivia’s house, unable to convince her to accept
Orsino’s love. Olivia has found herself liking Cesario, so she
thinks of an excuse to get Cesario back to the house and
gives her own ring to her servant. She tells him to pretend it
was one Cesarios left on Orsino’s behalf.
