The turning point in the scene

Actor Maeve Larkin explains what, for her, is the turning point in the wooing scene (Act 1 scene 3). It is when Richard offers her a knife to kill him, and she cannot take it. According to Maeve, Anne feels strangely closer to Richard at this point in the play than to anyone else in her life.
