Remember you're just an actor in a play. The playwright gave you a role. Why this role and not another> You will never know. Your role may be brief, it may be extended. Maybe the playwright wants you to play a beggar, or a cripple, or a junior clerk, or a slave, or a man of high stature. It is in your power to play your part magnificently, but the choice of role is not yours.
