The Two Gentlemen of Verona Act 2, Scene 2 Summary

  • Back in Verona, Julia and Proteus say a teary goodbye before Proteus departs on his trip.
  • After Julia begs Proteus to be faithful to her, the couple exchange rings and "seal the bargain with a holy kiss."
  • Proteus says he'll be true to Julia, and if a time should come when he isn't pining for her, he hopes that he'll be immediately punished—like, within the hour. (It's kind of a "cross my heart and hope to die" sort of pledge.)
  • Julia runs off without saying another word.
  • Panthino arrives to fetch Proteus—it's time to ship out.
