    "What is your parentage? 'Above my fortunes, yet my state is well: I am a gentleman.' - I'll be sworn thou art." Olivia asks Cesario about his social position, she is seeing him as interesting and then finds out she is falling in love with him. In Elizabethan times, a person's social position was very important. Someone of a lower rank could not marry a person of a higher rank. Olivia is a beautiful lady of noble birth so she has to consider very carefully whom she marries to.
