Viola: "Then think you right. I am not what I am."
Olivia: "I would you were as I would have you be." (III.i.148-9)
In the garden, Olivia and Viola express their confusion. Viola cannot tell Olivia that she is a girl and cannot have Olivia tell her that she loves her. Kindly, she expresses that she is not who Olivia thinks she is, hoping Olivia will move on and stop loving Vola. The love triangle then gets complicated with two people caught in the middle. Olivia does not catch onto Violas drift because Olivia says she loves Cesario no matter what.

I think it's funny that Viola it so blunt when she says she's hiding something and Olivia and Orsino don't pick up on it. Viola blatantly states that she is not a man to Olivia, revealing her true identity.
