Twelfth Night, Act II
So far in this story I like the character of The Fool. He is a smart, but funny man. He is usually getting into trouble, but is somehow able to outwit anyone. I think that I am most like Orsino or the Fool. Orsino is stuck liking someone,, and that someone doesn’t in the least bit like you back, but ends up having someone else like him, and he doesn’t even know it. I think I am like the Fool because I am always getting into trouble, but I can somehow find a way to get myself out of it. The only difficult part of the book for me is some of the phrases seem a little strange, and I have no idea what they mean. I think later on in the book The Fool will be put on trial, and possibly killed for working at both castles. I also think that Viola will not tell Orsino that she is a girl, and Orsino will finally merry Olivia. I thought Act II was a little better then Act I. It was funnier, and had more interesting things happening. The part with Malvolio getting the fake love note from Olivia is going to be funny as the story goes on. I can’t figure out what is going to happen with the Orsino, Olivia and Viola/Cesario love triangle. In most normal stories you would figure that Viola would tell Orsino she’s a girl and she loves him, and they would live happily ever after, but Twelfth Night is one of the farthest things from any normal story I’ve read. My favorite character’s in the book so far are the Fool and Sir Toby. I like the Fool because he is a very witty, funny person. Sir Toby is probably one of the funniest people in the story. He is always drunk, and always trying to seem intelligent and respectable. He is very entertaining and is a very big idiot.
