The Twelfth Night

I love and enjoy reading this play!!! There's deceiveness, changing disguises, arguments, the dramatics, and there's secrets revealed. There's also this love thing going on where certain people starts to fall in love with "certain people"....Ohhhh the irony!!! So there's this love triangle: Viola loves Orsino, Orsino loves Olivia, Olivia loves Cesario (disguised as Viola). The thing is Olivia doesn't love Orsino because she feels miserable of her dear brother. You also have in the play Sir Andrew, who has this thing for Olivia but everyone knows that she doesn't want him. I think he tries too hard. The best part of the play was when Sir Toby and Sir Andrew was ganging up on Sebastian because they thought that he was Cesario. Only jealousy would lead them to things like that. And what messed up about it was that Antonio had to get arrested for it!!! At the end, Orsino got mad because Olivia married Cesario (even though it were Sebastian), and he felt that his true heart was with Viola after Viola showed her true colors. I don't see how Sir Toby and Maria got married. Like how did that happened?!? Everything seems to reveal itself but looks like everyone was happy with who they were with. As for Malvolio, he was locked up for some reason and now he's out and nobody cares.

  1. This whole play was simply about how everyone's love but Antonio's for Sebastian was only skin deep; in my opinion, it was not real since they changed their love for someone else every five minutes, and that is not considered love; it is sad that the only one who does truly love will not end happily in this play since heis homosexual and this love was not supported in this time.
