        <description><![CDATA[In Act 1 Scene V of Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare, 'Cesario' begs leave to speak with the lady of the house because he has something very important to say to her or ask her - and has come to propose a 'suit' or courtship. An official request for a noble courtship was a very important statement in those days as aristocratic  people did not just go out with each other, get bored and move on. To accept a 'suit' was a very serious business...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Olivia's steward Malvolio is a serious and sincere worker, quite devoted to his mistress. Olivia also trusts him, and does have a concern for him.
But Malvolio is exceedingly self-important and pretends to be puritanical. He finds fault with the fooling of the Clown; he remonstrates Sir Toby, Sir Andrew and others engaged in late night revelry, threatens them with dire consequences. Malvolio nurtures a secret affection for the Countess and...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In Twelfth Night, Viola is the heroine, yet she is an instance of the heroine being a hero as well (e.g.; Hero in Much Ado About Nothing and Rosalind in As You Like It). As such, Viola's character is predominantly comprised of good qualities. Viola's good qualities range from sound judgment, honesty, loyalty and intelligence to charm and emotional stability.It is Viola's sound judgment that enables her to rightly evaluate the sea captain and...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This question about Viola and Malvolio in William Shakespeare's 'Twelfth Night' looks like quite a detailed discussion.

        <description><![CDATA[Having survived a shipwreck, we know Viola is strong, brave, resourceful and resilient, and these are all qualities associated with men at the time this play was written. The character also speaks her mind and goes after what she wants, which indicate an assertive nature; this is contrasted with the other female characters such as Olivia, who tend to be more demure and proper. Viola is witty, intelligent and often somewhat flirtatious in her...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[When looking for the dialectical shift between the prose and the poetry, you need to look for wherever each individual line begins with a capital letter. 
For example, this paragraph would be prose because as I move to the next line, the word "move" isn't capitalized.  Also, the character speaks in an entire paragraph without any lines breaking or any "odd" words, such as "if" or "Or," being capitalized.  
However, when trying to find the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In her sincere and silent modesty of love, Viola represents essential womanliness in Shakespeare's comedy, Twelfth Night. Shipwrecked at Illyria, Viola betrays an early affection for the 'noble duke ' Orsino in act 1 sc.2. Disguised in male attire, she becomes Orsino's favourite in some three days. Orsino endearingly refers to Cesario's(Viola's) rubious lips and sweet voice. As Cesario goes to meet the Countess Olivia as a messenger of...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Oh dear! how can all these issues be dicussed within the ambit of a single answer? However, let me try at least some of them:
1. Theme of Love: Twelfth Night is a Romantic comedy of love in which we find Orsino's modish &amp; sentimental love for Olivia, long pursued and never returned; Viola's love for Orsino is very genuine and modest love silently nurtured by Viola in the guise of Cesario; Olivia falls in love with Cesario at the first...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[As the only character in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night who remains detached from the play's conflicts, Feste is able to comment objectively upon the foibles and actions of the other characters.  For example, in Act I, he comments on Olivia's foolishness in her mourning her dead brother when his soul lies in heaven:

The more fool, madonna, to mourn for your brother's/soul being in heaven.  Take away the fool, gentlemen. (I,v,64-65)

In Act II,...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Feste in Shakespeare's Twefth Night is the clown and his role, as with most of Shakespeare's clowns (King Lear, As You Like It) is choric and it works from within the plot of the play. The socially repressed under-class of the clowns are invested with all the driving force in terms of observation, cunning and choric commentary in Shakespeare's comedies and this play is no exception.
1. Feste, as the name suggests shapes the festive and...]]></description>
