To understand “Twelfth Night,” one must know how mistaken identities create humor, how love affects the conflict, and the opposites Malvolio and Sir Toby represent. The central idea is often everyone falls in love. Cesario uncovers himself as Viola, and the Duke asks her to marry him, meanwhile Sir Toby and Maria get married. Sebastian, Viola’s twin brother who was also shipwrecked, makes an appearance and is led to marriage by Olivia who mistakes him for Cesario. One of Olivia’s men, Sir Andrew, challenges Cesario to a fight but he declines. The Duke wants Cesario to win Olivia’s love for him, however Olivia confesses her love for Cesario. Maria sends Malvolio love letters as if they were written by Olivia, leading Malvolio into believing that Olivia loves him but instead, makes a fool of himself. Olivia’s servant, Maria, plays a prank on Malvolio.
Viola, who was shipwrecked, assists the Duke by disguising herself as Cesario and ends up falling in love with the Duke. This play, mainly based on love, begins with Orsino trying to win Olivia’s love. She resolves to fend for herself by dressing as a boy to get work as a page to Duke Orsino.“Twelfth Night” is a play written by Shakespeare. Viola laments the loss of her twin brother, Sebastian, in the shipwreck.
Nearby, a group of sailors arrive on shore with a young girl, Viola, whom they have rescued from a storm at sea. She has forsworn men's company for seven years while she mourns the death of her brother and rebuffs all his advances. Orsino, Duke of lllyria, is despairing that he is spurned by the Countess Olivia. Viola then reveals she is a girl and marries Orsino. Sebastian arrives, causing a flood of mistaken identity, and marries Olivia. Orsino is in love with the Countess Olivia, and sends Viola to court her for him, but Olivia falls for Viola instead. Viola, separated from her twin Sebastian, dresses as a boy and works for the Duke Orsino, whom she falls in love with.
