        <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...]]></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>

        <description><![CDATA[The main-plot of Shakespeare's comedy Twefth Night is the one that concerns the royal life of the Illyrian court--the love-proposals between Orsino and Olivia with the disguised Viola as an interconnector, while the sub-plot or the under-plot concerns the low-life of Illyria---the festivities of Sir Toby, Sir Andrew and Maria.
The Renaissance theatre had a general penchant for the double-plots with reflective and contrastive links between...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Masks work at various levels in Shakespeare's comedy Twelfth Night. It is the pattern of masking and unmasking that holds on to the centre of this festive comedy. The theatrical tradition of the Elizabethan Masque is also at work, metaphorically, in the play. The masks highlight the recurrent Shakespearean theme of the appearance-reality dichotomy. The trope also connects between the main and the sub-plot and also helps in revealing the many...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Scholarly opinion of Malvolio's situation holds that his behavior was vastly different from Orsino's and Olivia's by nature although similar in appearance.
The idea is that Malvolio, as a steward, is an outsider to that which comprises courtly love, whereas Orsino and Olivia are privileged courtiers. As an outsider, Malvolio doesn't know the inner delicacies and subtleties required in making veiled suggestions of love in letters, whereas...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Concerning love as it hits Viola (Cesario), Olivia and Orsino (Duke), in the simplest terms, they all suffer from unrequited love (unreturned and unfulfilled love). This trio of unrequited lovers forms a triangle of love: Viola loves Orsino who loves Olivia who loves Cesario, Viola's male-disguised persona. The viewer (reader) of the play is prompted to wonder which one of these is the most foolish in their feelings of love.
On another level,...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[different forms with different intentions.
The most consistent and obvious form of love is sincere love which will endure any ordeal and still stand strong. Viola is this type of love in living form. She puts herself out there for the Duke and does his will. Even though she acknowledges the fact that “Whoe’er she woos herself would be his wife.” (1:4). This aside shows her pure love for the Duke as she is willing “To do him rest, a...]]></description>
