  4. Scene 1 - Character Development - The reemergence of Sebastian as Viola's missing brother and their striking similarities begins to set the stage for later mix-ups to come regarding those characters. - The relationship between Antonio and Sebastian seems to be hinting at something stronger than close friends as Antonio seems to be willing to give up everything for Sebastian.

  6. Scene 2- Summary - Malvolio finds Viola, disguised as Cesario, and gives her the ring from Olivia. - Viola is confused at first, but then plays along and insists Olivia keep the ring. - Malvolio is frustrated and throws the ring on the ground. -Viola wonders if the ring means Olivia has fallen in love with Cesario.

  7. Scene 2- Character Development Viola/Cesario LOVE TRIANGLE Duke Orsino Olivia Character development is shown through the newly formed love triangle between the three characters. Viola is conflicted about everything though because as a man, she cannot win Orsino's love and as a woman, she cannot return Olivia's love.

  8. Scene 2- Quote "As I am man, My state is desperate for my master’s love. As I am woman, now, alas the day What thriftless sighs shall poor Olivia breathe! O time, thou must untangle this, not I It is too hard a knot for me to untie!" "I am the man. If it be so, as ’tis, Poor lady, she were better love a dream." Viola's soliloquy at the end of Act 2 Scene 2 (page 452) can relate to two essential questions: • What is the difference between friendship, lust, and love? - Viola's giving her definition of love: in the eyes - Describes the love triangle between herself, Orsino, and Olivia • Is it possible for people to change? Should we try? Why? - Viola wants to let time sort out the love triangle between the three characters, but can their feelings change?

  10. Scene 3 - Summary • Sirs Toby and Andrew are talking about Feste • He enters and sings a love song: life is too short, love now • War of wits between Sir Andrew and Feste: ex. "Thou Knave" • Maria says be quiet because you're disturbing Olivia • Malvolio comes and gives a lecture

  11. Scene 3 Cont. • Andrew and Toby sing anyway • Andrew wants to fence Malvolio • Maria has a different plan • Love letters

  12. Scene 3 Character Development • Malvolio becomes more of a threat; not so much in the background • Maria switches sides: lectured before, now plotting with Andrew and Toby

  13. Satiric Elements • In Twelfth Night, especially in Act 2, Shakespeare uses satire in the idea of love at first sight. He uses exaggeration to show that it is much more than it really is. • In scene 3, the characters refer to Malvolio to as a Puritan and Shakespeare is using satire through Malvolio in this play to satirize the somber spirit of Puritanism during the Elizabethan era.

  14. Satiric Elements • Really criticizing "love"; based on Orsino's first line "If music be the food of love, play on"--lots of music in Act 2 • Funny songs show love is comedic
