Sir Toby Belch
Physical Features: Sir Toby has a very dirty and disrespectful appearance. He does not wear clean spiffy clothes that make him look respectable; he wears ragged clothing that is not good for his reputation to go out in public with. Maria says to Sir Toby “Ay, but you must confine yourself within the modest limits or order” (1, 3, 7-8). Meaning that Sir Toby should stop going out late and to stop drinking but Sir Toby takes it as meaning for him to dress/look more respectful as a person. Sir Toby says “Confine? I’ll confine myself no finer than I am. These clothes are good enough to drink in, and so be these boots too” (1, 3, 9-11). Sir Toby is saying that he doesn’t need to dress better because he says that the clothes he is wearing are nice enough to drink in. While Sir Toby likes to drink with Sir Andrew Aguecheek and others, he needs to get himself stable and under control.
Personality: Sir Toby is a huge drunk; he is a liar, a partier and a rude person. Sir Toby is rude to other people but more so when he is drunk. When Sir Toby is drunk he tends to be very loud and obnoxious. Malvolio gets mad because he is trying to sleep but Sir Toby and Sir Andrew Aguecheek are being really loud; Maria tries to settle them down so that they don’t make Malvolio really mad but instead Sir Toby gets Maria to drink and dance around with them. Malvolio says to Sir Toby “you must amend your drunkenness” (2, 5, 69). Meaning that he has to stop getting drunk, Malvolio also threatens to turn in Sir Toby to Olivia for acting foolish. Though Sir Toby thinks he is doing no harm getting drunk and having fun he is making Malvolio very mad at him and changing the way other people think of him, also changing the way people think of Malvolio because they start to think he is mean and always grumpy.
Family & Peer Relations: Sir Toby is in a very good position where he is close to people that he can trust and talk to. Maria is Sir
