Viola- Viola is a woman who disguises herself as "cesario", a man after she wrecks her ship on the island of lllryia. She ends up falling in love with a man named Orsino, who is in love with Olivia which completes this whole love triangle. However Viola can't be with Orsino because Orsino thinks that she is a man, and Olivia doesn't realize that she literally CANT be with Viola because he is really a she. I really like Viola because of how brave she is. How many women would be able to pull of looking and acting like a man for that long without being caught.
Orsino- Orsino is a man of nobility who is in love with Olivia. He is becoming more and more fond of Cesario, who delivers love letters to Viola from him. However he doesn't realize that Olivia is falling more and more in love with Cesario every time she sees him. I don't think Orsino is really "in love" with Viola, but I think he just likes the idea of being "in love". Orsino gets on my nerves. He is so egotistical and he complains all the time.
Olivia- Olivia is a noble woman from lllyria. Her brother has recently died so she is in mourning and says she will not marry for seven years. However Cesario comes along and takes her out of her state of mourning. Olivia also annoys me. She is so wrapped up in mourning over her brother that it just gets on my nerves
Sebastian- Sebastian is Viola's twin brother who she thought died in the shipwreck. He finally arrives to lllyria only to discover that people seem to know who he is, and Olivia even asks him to marry him. I don't know how I feel about Sebastian. I think its kind of strange that he has never even seen Olivia before yet he agrees to marry her because she is rich.
Malvolio- Malvolio is the head servant in Olivias house. He is just waddling in self-pity. He has no fun and looks down on others who do. Sir Toby, Sir Andrew, and Maria are all annoyed by him which is why they play a cruel trick on him. I can't stand people like Malvolio. People who juts don't ever want to have fun. It's really annoying.
Feste- Feste is a clown. He jokes around, sings old songs, and generally makes a fool of hiself. He works in both Olivia and Orsino's homes. Although he acts like a fool, he offers good advice to people and may be the wisest person in the entire play. I really like Feste because he isn't expected to be so smart because of his job, but he is teh smartest out of everybody. He enjoys life and makes everybody laugh for a living. I really like him.
Sir Toby - Sir Toby is a Olivias drunken uncle. He plays practical jokes on people, is often rowdy, and has an annoying crowd of friends. Despite all of this, him and Maria become a couple. Sir Toby can be very annoying, and all in all I don't really care for him.
Maria- Maria is Olivias waiting-gentlewomen. She wants to come up in the world by marriage, just like Malvolio, however she is successful in doing this unlike Malvolio. I really like Maria because she is clever and daring. She was the brains behind the practical joke on Malvolio that was hilarious. 
Sir Andrew- He is Sir Toby's idiotic self-absorbed friend. I hate him.
Antonio- Antonio is who saves Sebastian from the shipwreck and becomes one of Sebastians very good friends. I think Antonio is very sweet and I was sad when Viola denied knowing him because he really thought Sebastian had betrayed him.
