Love is a cause of suffering. As we are acquainted with the characters in Twelfth Night we find that there are many common aspects between these strong natured characters, one of which is the claim of never ending suffering of their painful love. Overwhelming amount of feeling towards Olivia built up a cruel “apatite” for love that Orsino cannot satisfy. While Olivia’s grief is due to the inappropriate love for Cesario, a “man” well below her states. Wrapped in all this madness, Viola continually does her best to please her master, Orsino, even at the cost of her own throbbing feelings.
These characters prove rejection, causes desperation towards this complex love, evoking sorrow and misery.

Love is an ongoing disease of suffering
Orsino demonstrates his controlling nature by his relentless pursuit of Olivia’s love. Orsino recalls “when [his] eyes did see Olivia first,/[he thought] she purg’d the air of pestilence” Orsino is talking about when his eyes first landed sight on Olivia, she filled the air with an infectious plague, meaning love.
As Orsino’s desperation becomes more and more dramatic, his love grows to an overwhelming strength. Orsino’s “love may be call’d appetite, /No motion of the liver” One can see that Orsino is grieving, from the thought, that almost certainty; Olivia will never be with him.
Orsino’Mine is as hungry as the sea, and can digest as much
