Twelfth Night (Folger Shakespeare Library)

by Shakespeare, William. Berdan, John M. Ed & Brooke, Tucker Ed

A shipwreck separates twins Viola and Sebastian. Believing her brother dead, Viola disguises herself as a boy, Cesario, and enters the service of Duke Orsino. Orsino sends Cesario to woo the Countess Olivia on his behalf, but Olivia falls for Cesario instead. Meanwhile, Olivia's uncle, Sir Toby Belch, mocks the pompous Malvolio, who loves Olivia. As the plot twists and turns, identities are confused and hearts are entangled in this Shakespearean romantic comedy. At its core, Twelfth Night explores the power of love to disrupt social order and the foolishness of rigid social conventions.
