By Perdita
Annotation Text:
Perdita argues for "racial" purity. While she is about to enter into what is, on the surface, a marriage that mixes the "pure" flower with the "wildest stock." It seems a subtle dig that Shakespeare doesn't support this theory, since ultimately Perdita is revealed as royal.
Excerpt:
Of that kind
Our rustic garden’s barren, and I care not
To get slips of them.
