"feigning"
Double Meaning
Act 1,
Scene 1
Lines 30-31
Egeus is accusing Lysander of having sung to Hermia with a “feigning” (soft) voice, verses of “feigning” (deceitful) love. But feigning can also have a third meaning: affectionate. So Egeus’ statement could be interpreted as saying that Lysander has merely been expressing his affectionate love for Hermia.
