Twelfth Night
(William Shakespeare)

Publicidade
Twelfth Night is a comedy about love.

In the Kingdom of Illryia, Duke Orsino is in love with Lady Olivia, who does not love him. A young woman Viola, arrives in Illryia, washed up on shore by a shipwreck. She has an identical twin brother Sebestian whom she believes was drowned in the shipwreck. Resourceful Viola disguises herself as a man, changes her name to Cesario, and finds work as Orsino's page. Viola's job is to send love messages from Orsino to Lady Olivia. Olivia falls in love with Viola (Cesario), believing him to be a man. Viola falls in love with Orsino, but cannot reveal her love for him as Orsino thinks she is Cesario, a man. Thus a love triangle is formed.

Meanwhile, Olivia's uncle Sir Toby, and her maid Maria, play a trick on the pompous steward Malvolio. Maria forges a letter to make Malvolio think Lady Olivia is in love with him. In the letter, Malvolio is asked to dress in yellow stockings and crossed garters, and smile constantly to win Lady Olivia's love. Malvolio believes the letter and follows the instructions, leading Olivia to think he is mad. Taking the joke further, Feste, the clown of the household, locks Malvolio up in a small dark room as he is "mad".

The love triangle is resolved by the arrival of Sebastian, Viola's twin brother. Sebastian arrives with his friend Antonio, who is an enemy of Orsino. Sir Toby's friend Sir Andrew is also in love with Olivia, and thinking Sebastian is Cesario, whom Olivia loves, challenges Sebastian to a duel. Olivia sees Sebastian and thinking he is Cesario, asks him to marry her. Sebastian agrees and marries Olivia. Meanwhile Antonio has been captured by Orsino, and seeing Cesario, thinking he is Sebastian, begs him for help. Viola (Cesario) does not know Antonio and Antonio thinks Sebastian has betrayed him.

Orsino and Cesario visit Olivia. Olivia, thinking Cesario is Sebastian, greets him as her husband. Orsino is furious. Sebastian appears and the confusion is turned to a happy reunion. Orsino, realising Viola (Cesario) is a woman, realises that he loves her, and asks her to marry him. It is a happy ending with Olivia marrying Sebastian, Orsino marrying Viola, Toby marrying Maria, and Malvolio let out of the dark room.
