  1. The Twelfth Night Act 1, Scenes 4 and 5 Vivian Hett, Courtney Fischer, Natalie Neisen

  2. Scene 4 Characters: Valentine- works for Duke of Orsino Viola- rich woman in a shipwreck pretending to be a man (Cesario) and serves Orsino Orsino- Powerful, rich man in Illyria Cesario- Viola in disguise

  3. Scene 4 (Summary) • Viola pretends to be Cesario and works for the Duke of Orsino • Even though they haven't known each other for long, Orsino trusts Cesario • Valentine tells Cesario to listen to what Orsino tells him • Orsino asks Viola (Cesario) to go to Olivia's house and stand at her door until he can speak with her to tell her how much Orsino loves her • Viola agrees to go to Olivia's house

  4. Scene 5 Characters: Maria- servant of Olivia Feste- Olivia's clown jester Olivia- wealthy Illyrian lady Malvolio- head servant of Olivia's house Viola- rich woman in a shipwreck pretending to be Cesario, serving Orsino

  5. Scene 5 (Summary) • Maria is upset that Feste (Olivia's clown) has gone away for awhile and not told Olivia where he has been • Olivia returns with Malvolio and is frustrated with Feste for being gone. She tells him he is a fool • Malvolio says Olivia shouldn't have a jester but Olivia rejects him because she believes it is all a joke and Feste doesn't mean any of it • Maria enters and tells Olivia there is a guest at the door and Sir Toby is speaking to him even though he is drunk

  6. Scene 5 (Summary Cont.) • Olivia tells Malvolio to go and make the visitor leave • Malvolio returns and says he will not leave, but he is a handsome, young man • Olivia finally agrees to see Cesario • Cesario speaks with Olivia and tells her of Orsino's love for her • Olivia responds by telling Cesario to leave and tell Orsino she is not interested • Cesario leaves and Olivia realizes she may already love him and not Orsino

  7. Use of Props • Viola/ Cesario: two-sided face mask- one person, two personalities she is acting as • Orsino: Giant heart/money- He loves Olivia and is very wealthy • Olivia:barefoot/high waters- She prevented herself from loving and has a shallow personality • Malvolio: Framed picture of Olivia- He loves Olivia secretly • Feste: Jacket/A+ report card- He is wise, but no one notices because he is a clown

  8. Character Development • Olivia- She begins to allow new love in her life and doesn't want to lock herself away in her home anymore • Viola- She already changes and falls in love with Orsino • Orsino- He begins to realize the importance of love and how hard it may be to find

  9. Satire? • Indirect Satire- The author (Shakespeare) creates a storyline with characters involved • It is too early in the play to understand if it is either Horatian or Juvenalian Satire because we cannot see what idea in society the author is trying to ridicule or reform • Components of Satire: • Invective- In Scene 5, Olivia and the jester exchange name calling of the word "fool" • Sarcasm- It is used when Olivia and Malvolio are talking of what a jester's job is. They poke fun at whether or not a jester is really criticizing someone or not. • In Act 1, Shakespeare is beginning to challenge the meaning of fate and how relationships are essentially affected by the fate we face.

  10. Digging Deeper Viola is dressed as Cesario and already realizes she may love Orsino while Olivia meets Cesario (Viola) and realizes she may love him (her). Because of this, the text reveals that relationships can be in several different forms and can be created slowly or quickly. Usually, someone cannot differentiate what type of relationship it is (friendship, lust, love) due to the other's mindset or feelings. We can relate this to a quote from Act 1, Scene 5

  11. Class Activity! In partners, view the quote listed on the next slide. Guess which essential question it fits under. Next, write the "mean" of the quote that fits with the essential question you chose. Repeat with the "matter". Put both partners names on the piece of paper, and turn it into the basket.

  12. "I do I know not what, and fear to find Mine eye too great a flatterer for my mind. Fate, show thy force. Ourselves we do not owe; What is decreed must be, and be this so." -Olivia Act 1, Scene 5, lines 303-306

  13. Class Activity Essential Question: What is the difference between friendship, lust, and love? Mean: Olivia is speaking to herself about how she has suddenly fallen in love with Cesario. She questions whether or not she should continue loving him, but decides that if fate brought her to it, she would allow fate to guide her the rest of the way. Matter: Already, there are many relationships in the play. Orsino loves Olivia, but overall in love with himself and his own life. Olivia falls in love with Cesario, who is actually Viola, which means it's not true love. Cesario is in love with Orsino who doesn't know Cesario is Viola. These relationships show that they aren't true love because they are on false pretenses. There is no clear difference between friendship, lust, and love in the case since there are missing pieces in each relationship shown.
