The long wait is finally over! Last week‚ the Duke of Illyria‚ Orsino‚ and the lovely Countess Olivia had met right outside of the madame’s house. Yet‚ the meeting didn’t meet our expectations‚ as the grieving Olivia had rejected Orsino once again. Whether the fault is on the unfaithful worker‚ Cesario‚ we don’t know!

Twelfth Night is a comedic play written by William Shakespeare‚ full of love triangles and misunderstandings. Shakespeare uses disguises‚ classes‚ and lies to unfold the misjudgment of devotion and love characters have for each other in the play.

The Foils of Othello One of William Shakespeare’s many attributes as a playwright of the late 16th century was his character development.
