Character Study; Willmore
Willmore is a charismatic, banished cavalier from England who has come to Spain to avoid capture by the benevolent saint that doth not be an accurate description of the late Oliver Cromwell. Willmore is single and sexually fascinated and feels the need to indulge himself in lustful sex wherever he goes. In the case of this scene, he has arrived outside one the finest Courtesan's in the area and is on a mission to get her to shag him free of charge.
My Exterior Vision
He has just arrived in Spain after a long boat journey so I believe he will be looking rather rough and well worn. I picture a nice brown coat which has been worn in and torn slightly, matching trousers with white socks pulled up to the knee, a white shirt and a white piece of cloth around his neck. This is the traditional outfit of the cavaliers back in this period with wear and tear that I believe Willmore would have caused by getting himself into scuffs with other men and being a manly man who gets around a lot with very little money to his name. I also think he would have a lot of rough looking facial hair and is hair thick, wavy and dreamy to give him that charismatic organicness.
Willmore has very high self esteem and is very ambitious when expressing his sexual desires. I found this from this line;
'Here, good forewomen of the shop, serve me, and I'll be gone.'
This piece of evidence shows how Willy has just walked straight into Angelica's house and is directly but charismatically telling her that if she has sex with him for free he will leave. In order for someone to say something like that they must have extreme confidence in the words that they are saying and in order to not sound creepy or rapey he must have a sexy resonance to his voice which he is well aware of having in which he uses as his tool of persuasion which in the end becomes successful.
I also believe Willy is very, very masculine. In fact, I believe that he feels the need to have sex with the finest of women and do it only with the power of persuasion so that he is top of the masculinity chain. He also assorts his dominance from the very beginning of the scene by taking the sign off of the wall and waltzing right on in there and saying;
'Rather, how durst you set it up, to tempt poor amorous Mortals with so much Excellence?'
He is basically questioning why she has even put the sign up at such a high price and if it is to make horny men feel the need to pay a lot of money to have sex with someone that isn't actually worth the price they're paying. He has only just walked through the door and yet is assorting his dominance via undermining her, devaluing her and making her feel insecure so that using his charm he can warp her feelings and make her in knowingly and sub consciously become obsessed and lustfully attracted to him. He almost makes her feel like she's being naughty which may be her turn on for him and therefore why he gains successful intercourse with her.
