For both these characters‚ their attempts to change who they are‚ and make the play what they will‚ work to reconstruct the plot of the play. Viola’s pursuit at catching Orsino’s eye was easily done once her disguise abled her to get close to him. Without her disguise‚ she would be viewed as just another woman trying to compete for Orsino’s love‚ which he proclaims is only for Olivia. In act 2‚ scene iv‚ Orsino opens up to Cesario

lamenting about his undying love for Olivia. Orsinio refuses to do ‘manly’ activities like hunt‚ and would rather lay around having music played to him while he woes about his unrequited love. While it is played out in quite a comedic manner‚ it reminds us once again‚ that to love is to suffer. Orsinio suffers from obsessively loving Olivia. Love also shows to be exclusive and that some love will always be unrequited. For example‚ Malvolio has pursued Olivia‚ but in the end still is unable to have

Orsino is one of the main characters involved in the love triangle and dynamics of Twelfth Night. At the beginning of the play‚ Duke Orsino is very obsessively in love with Olivia. He changes his love interests very quickly when he finds out that Cesario is actually Viola‚ which puzzlingly suggests that he was not in love with Olivia but rather with the idea of being in love. Therefore‚ I imagine he is handsome‚ due to Viola immediately falling for him; strong‚ to satisfy his need to uphold his bold

Orsino’s first love in the play is Olivia. Although he never really spoke to her to begin with‚ he instantly fell in love with her. Olivia and Orsino are both very self-indulgent and enjoy creating drama amongst themselves and their peers. Orsino is filled with self-pity and mostly mopes around his home wanting Olivia to love him so badly. However‚ when Viola (disguised as “Cesario”/ later mistaken as Sebastian) tries to tell Olivia how much Orsino loves her Olivia is so caught up in the death of her

Duke of Illyria‚ Orsino‚ and the lovely Countess Olivia had met right outside of the madame’s house.

The first love we see is the one that Orsino has for Olivia. This type of love is an unrequited romantic love because we can see that the Duke is in love with the idea of love. He only has a connection of ideas and feelings but no real physical passion: “…that instant was I turn’d into a hart‚ and my desires‚ like fell and cruel hounds e’er since pursue me.” This concept of romantic love is from the medieval ages. He has never spoken to Olivia yet he seems to “love” her from a distance‚ even if she

I feel that Orsino and Olivia are two characters who embrace an inadequate relationship due to the fact that Olivia doesn’t appreciate Orsino’s love. Twelfth night can be compared with two literary heritage poems by Robert Burns and William Butler Yeats by conferring to their similarities and differences. Both poems develop
