The Love Triangle

Shakespeare. What a man.. I'm just sitting here thinking to myself, what type of lifestyle did he have that made him write such a comedic story such as the Twelfth Night. If only I were able to be there sitting in the theater as this was being performed. Then only men could perform so there on stage are men playing female roles. In The Twelfth Night you have men playing Women playing men.. What a sight! LOL If only I could have been there.
As for the actors playing the characters I wonder what there sexuality was. Did they have a hetero/homo state of mind at all while performing such work.. If they were straight how were they able to keep a straight face while watching men dressed as women. I find The Twelfth Night to be full of comedy.
As for the plot why did Shakespeare have the names to be so close in lettering and almost sound the same. Olivia, Viola, Malvolio. Makes for a quite misunderstanding of who is who. I had to reread a couple of times to make sure I had it right..
As for the story thus far. I'm enjoying it. It brings a different atmosphere of writing. The main theme I see is everyone is so bound to LOVE. They fascinate themselves over Love. Is it lust or love the characters possess. Viola is so desperate to make a status and name for herself she goes as far as to dress as a man to get in with Olivia. While this is happening she is falling for Orsino, Orsino is in love with Olivia, and Olivia is falling for Cesario who is not a man but Viola. What a confusing scene. They are so blinded with love that they do not even realize what is happening around them.
Why did Shakespeare write such a story. Was he so turned on by a woman falling for a woman and man a man. Or did he write it to get readers attention and have a funny story.
I'm anxious to see how this is going to end. Its just a big triangle of love. Sir Toby and Andrew keep it interesting by there drunkenness and pissing of Mavolia. It keeps the story going from another perspective besides everyone loving one another. Another amusement is the scene where Maria, Toby, and Andrew play the joke on Malvolio. (who is also in love with Olivia) Poor thing is supposed to be smart but yet gets fooled and now is going to try everything for Olivia to notice him more.
The only one who seems smart and catching on to the scheme is the Fool (Feste the clown) He is not worried about love he is just there to listen, sing and get paid!!
OK this is all until I finish reading!
