I am sorry to inform you that I disagree with your hasty actions to trust the letter that you found to presumably be from Olivia because its means of delivery and significant details composed within the letter signal several red flags to the common observer. While you were fantasizing about a possible love interest in Olivia, which several others also shared, your ego simply overtook your thoughts and you connected several indications within the letter rather illogically. Of course people thought that you were mad! Your childish actions cost you your dignity and the slim margin of respect that Olivia previously had for you.

The letter listed the letters M, O, A, and I, which you ignorantly reflect, “M, O, A, I. This simulation is not the former. And yet, to crush this a little, it would bow to me, for every one of these letters are in my name” (II.v 127-129).

Several people have similar handwriting with negligible difference and even if one’s hand was not as precisely articulated as Olivia’s, her handwriting could easily be forged. It was also signed, “Farewell. She that would alter services with thee, The Fortune Unhappy” (II.v 143-144). Yes, Olivia was very unhappy, but this does not mean that …show more content…
If you were to pay attention to the significant red flags signaled by the passage, people would not have you locked up and pegged for a madman. If you were not to becomet caught up in a fantasy world of a forbidden love, the red flags would have been more noticeable to you. The next time you approach a new love interest, you may be able to take a more suitable approach. I advise that you talk to the person, or even make it clear to them that you are interested. In time, they should deny your requests in a more pleasant manner. You should not rely on fate to drop a brilliantly executed letter among your path by chance to find out how one truly feels about you. Communication can go a long way in certain situations, especially this
