Twelfth Night

The twelfth night is one of the most original stories that we have read so far. The love triangle in this is almost like a soap opera. This is also another story that shows how women were treated at one point. A woman could not get a labor job, so Viola disquised as a man went to work for Olivia, who later falls in love with Cesario (Viola as a man). Although Viola has her sights set on Orsino from the start. I think that Viola knew that Orsino had money, since he was the duke of Illyria and all. So she begins asking questions about Orsino and Olivia before she sets off to Olivia's place in search of a job. Why would you like a man you have never seen before? There is only one thing, if you are interested in something they have. This total chaotic love triangle is showing how these people are fools for love. The only person who isn't a fool when it comes to love ironically is the fool, Feste!
