The word “invisible” is defined as “as if treated as unable to be seen; ignored or not taken into consideration” (Webster’s Dictionary). That seems to be an accurate description for how most characters in William Shakespeare’s play‚ “Twelfth Night” feel. Focusing specifically on Sir Andrew‚ the man interested in Countess Olivia’s hand for marriage. Not only is he treated horribly by people who he thought were his friends‚ but he ends up leaving Illyria broken-hearted and penniless. He let his unreciprocated

He is also shown as a perceptive character in Act Three‚ Scene one when he is talking to Viola dressed as Cesario‚ he says “Now‚ Jove‚ in his next commodity of hair‚ send thee a beard!” He might be implying that he has seen through Viola’s disguise and knows that she is truly a woman. The fact that he says “send thee a beard” could suggest that he might want to aid Viola in her disguise so she would not be found out. In addition‚ his ‘foolery’ in this first scene manages to suggest

One experience‚ however‚ has a lasting effect on Cosimo: meeting Violante (Viola) Ondariva. Their families have not spoken for years‚ but within minutes they are fast friends‚ and Viola is taken with Cosimo’s unusual way of life. She even helps him escape from the fruit thieves in the guise of "Sinforosa." Though Cosimo is a solitary figure‚ he does not avoid people. Indeed‚ as

original ending where Viola is not seen in women’s clothing when she and Orsino discuss their love and Malvolio vows vengeance and leaves. By adding Maria and Sir Toby to the final scene‚ the two are able to walk together into the estate with the twins and their partners. This implies that‚ in this instance‚ their positions in society do not matter. Sebastian is one left out in the ‘yard‚’ so homosexuality is arguably being excluded in Carroll’s rendition even though Viola has yet to change her clothing

most about the production were the scene changes and how the characters smoothly transitioned themselves on to the stage. Each scene that changed had lighting changes with opening or closing music and I enjoyed that. My favorite character would be Viola who secretly dressed up as a man who looks like a clone to her long lost twin Sebastian. The reason is because she was a woman who then changed into a dominant role to pretend she was a man. Her character was well played and it did not feel forced

"O‚ that I served that lady‚ and might not be delivered to the world till i had made mine own occasion mellow‚ what my estate is (Shakespeare‚ 13)."

For example Orsino is foolish in his pursuit of Olivia appearing to be more in love with love itself than the woman he claims to be in love with. He does not know her‚ has never met her yet he declares his deep love for her. He is in love with the idea of her. Viola is foolish because of the situation her cross dressing has

In medieval and Elizabethan England‚ homosexuality was not only looked down upon‚ but was a crime punishable by law. Found perpetrators‚ including the famous King Edward II‚ were horribly punished. Edward was killed by “the slow and painful insertion of a red‚ hot poker into his anus”‚ along with his lover‚ who “had his genitals cut off and burned” (Sanders). Such is the world in which a bisexual William Shakespeare lived. Though he married Anne Hathaway at the age of 18‚ he was rumored to have had
