3. Sir Toby Belch is Olivia's uncle. I.iii. 3-5.
ReplyDelete2. Maria is Olivia's maid. I.iii. 45.
6. Because Viola is honest with Olivia and she looks young and handsome in her disguise. Plus she's not all over Olivia like every other guy who talks to Olivia so Olivia is intrigued by this and is very interested in Viola.
ReplyDelete4. Because Orsino is showing no confidence when he sends his messengers to Olivia instead of showing up himself. Olivia is also in mourning for her brother.
In all of Shakespeare's plays, the fool is a reappearing character who seems frivolous and dimwitted, but actually is the wittiest and wisest of all. He comprehends the character's emotions and actions the most. His dialogue appears nonsensical, but is actually characterized by wisdom and intelligence.
ReplyDelete1. The tragedy was not survived by Olivia. It was survived by Viola. They were on a ship together and her and her brother Sebastion were shipwrecked. They both survived but Viola thinks that her brother died.
ReplyDelete5. The fool shows up throughout the play and offers the characters wise advice.
