Summary: "Twelfth Night; Or, What You Will" by William Shakespeare is a comedic play written during the early 17th century.

At the start of the play, we are introduced to Duke Orsino, who is consumed by love for the beautiful Lady Olivia, who, mourning her brother's death, is refusing to entertain any suitors. Viola, shipwrecked and separated from her twin brother Sebastian, arrives in Illyria and, believing her brother to be dead, decides to disguise herself as a young man named Cesario to work for Duke Orsino.
