Question

The title Twelfth Night is a reference to the Feast of the Epiphany, celebrated twelve days after Christmas. Explain in a short essay of no more than a few paragraphs how things are similarly turned upside down in the first three acts of Shakespeare’s play.

Answer 1

In the story, "Twelfth NIght," there is a social inversion during Shakespeare's time. Viola is stranded on the shores of Illyria because of a storm and shipwreck that triggers the events that turn the social order upside down. An example is the inversion of gender roles. In order to get a job at Orsino's court, Viola has to cross-dress as Cesario. While everything is happening, Olivia becomes the head of the household after her brother's death. It is an exception to the social norm during the Elizabethan era for her position to be in this position.

In Twelfth Night, the roles of the different classes are also reversed. Lower-class characters impersonate those of higher social standing. Maria's forging of Olivia's love letter to Malvolio is an example. The fact that Malvolio has a lower social status than Olivia makes his love for Olivia a source of laughter. The clown, Feste, also contributes to the feeling of fun and frolic, even if he is not always silly. As a clown, he has the rare privilege of making fun of people with higher social standing than himself.

Answer 2

In "Twelfth Night" many things get twisted. For example, Two twins are seperated due to a crashed ship. Viola, one of the twins, is then forced to dress as a man, taking on the name Cesario.
While working at a palace, Viola falls in love with a young duke. Everything seems to be fine, except the young duke is head over heels for a girl named Olivia. However, Olivia is madly in love with Viola, who is pretending to be Cesario.
Viola then has to continue to be Cesario while caught in an awkward love triangle. She struggles having to balance Olivia's advances while she swoons over the duke and acts as his page. She also has to deal with the sorrow of her long lost twin, sebastian.
