| Summary | "Twelfth Night" by William Shakespeare is a comedic play written in the late 16th century. The story unfolds in the fictional land of Illyria, exploring themes of love, mistaken identities, and the complexities of human relationships through the experiences of its characters. Central to the narrative is Viola, who disguises herself as a man named Cesario and becomes embroiled in a love triangle involving Duke Orsino and the grieving Countess Olivia. At the start of the play, we are introduced to Duke Orsino, who is deeply in love with Olivia, a lady mourning her deceased brother and who has sworn off men for seven years. Meanwhile, Viola arrives in Illyria after surviving a shipwreck, believing her twin brother Sebastian is dead. In her desire to find work and take care of herself, she disguises herself as a man and takes on the name Cesario, quickly becoming a favored page of Orsino. Orsino sends Cesario to woo Olivia on his behalf, setting the stage for a series of comedic misunderstandings and entangled relationships. The opening establishes the tone of the play, filled with longing, wit, and the promise of romantic hijinks to come. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
