Summary "Twelfth Night; Or, What You Will" by William Shakespeare is a comedic play written during the late 16th century. The story is set in the magical land of Illyria, revolving around themes of love, mistaken identities, and the complexities of human relationships. The plot introduces key characters such as Viola, who disguises herself as a man named Cesario, and Duke Orsino, who pines for the aloof Countess Olivia, who is mourning her brother's death. At the start of the play, we are thrust into Duke Orsino's palace, where he enjoys music as he laments his unrequited love for Olivia, who has sworn off men in her grief. Shortly after, the narrative shifts to Viola, who, shipwrecked and believing her twin brother Sebastian to be dead, decides to disguise herself as a man and seek employment in Orsino's court. As Viola navigates this new world, she becomes intertwined in a love triangle with Orsino and Olivia. Olivia, initially impervious to Orsino's affections, finds herself drawn to the young 'man' (Viola) sent to woo her, leading to a series of comical misunderstandings that set the stage for a tale rich in humor, heart, and eventual revelations.
