They barely knew each other at first, and before long Orsino was telling Cesario his inner love for Olivia. ” The biggest and closest friendship would have to be between Orsino and Cesario.
Friendship is the third type of love expressed in “Twelfth Night. She thinks she is “all that,” and that no one can match her. Olivia cares about the people around her, but she also believes that no man is worthy of her beauty. Although he believes Sir Andrew doesn’t have a chance. He ignores Maria’s warnings about drinking into the night, and he continues to push Sir Andrew to ourt Olivia. Sir Toby only cares about himself and no one else, not even his friends.
Both Sir Toby and Olivia show signs of self love but it is not as big an issue. For example, in the play he twists Olivia’s words around to make it sound like she admires his yellow cross-gartered stockings, when she really despises them. He likes to see things one way only, and he deceives himself just to suit his outlook on the situation. Malvolio believes many women would love to be with him. He sees himself as a handsome and noble man. Malvolio is the easiest to identify with the problem of self love. “Twelfth Night” addresses the issue of self love and how it affects peoples lives. Many people, even in today’s society, love themselves more then anything else. They believed deep down that maybe someway or by some miracle that each of them was still alive and well. Through their times of sorrow and mourning for each of their apparent deaths they still loved each other. Viola and Sebastian’s love for one another is a bond felt by all siblings.
The next case of true love is on a less intimate and romantic scale, and more amily oriented. It’s amazing that Olivia could fall for a woman dressed as a man, but because Viola knew what women like to hear, her words won Olivia’s heart. Viola was now caught in a terrible situation and there was only one way out, but that would jeopardize her chances with Orsino. During her attempts to court Olivia for Orsino, Olivia grew to love Cesario. Viola was caught up in another true love scenario, only this time she was on the receiving end, and things didn’t work out so smoothly. Viola and Orsino had a very good friendship, and making the switch to husband and wife was easy. ” That statement becomes true when Viola reveals her true identity. In act 1, scene 4, Viola let’s out her true feelings for Cesario, “yet a barful strife! Whoe’er I woo, myself would be his wife (1). Although she is pretending to be a man and is virtually unknown in Illyria, she hopes to win the Duke’s heart. Viola’s love for Orsino is a great example of true love. There are certain instances in the play where the emotion of love is true, and the two people involved feel very strongly toward one another. They are being deceived by themselves and/or the others around them. “Twelfth Night” consists of many love triangles, however many of the characters who are tangled up in the web of love are blind to see that their emotions and feelings toward other characters are untrue. ” Throughout the play Shakespeare examines three different types of love: true love, self love and friendship. According to “Webster’s New World Dictionary,” love is defined as “a strong affection or liking for someone. In the play “Twelfth Night,” Shakespeare explores and illustrates the emotion of love with precise detail.
