The Twelfth Night, a complex love story. The events of the play may seem predictable, but there are many plot twists. Backstabbing, being one, can be very unpleasant at times. People can be spontaneous while backstabbing. This can effect a variety of different types of love seen in the play, Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare. As characters throughout the scenes in the play evolved, so did their emotional status. Malvolio started as a humorless, mundane man. Three of his friends included Maria, Sir Toby, and Sir Andrew.

He had friendship, but never thought of love in depth. He was yet to experience his dreadful fate. Malvolio, described as a pretentious man, made it clear that he did not want any trouble. He was humorless, but vindictive. While his so called "friends" were singing, dancing, and drinking, Malvolio responded with anger. He expressed his characteristics by stating, "My masters, are you mad, or what are you? Have you no wit, manners, nor honesty, but to gabble like tinkers at this time of night?" (II.iii.90). As the quote portrays, the reader can tell that Malvolio does not accept the foolishness of having fun. While others drink and dance, he displays his rancorous mood.

When he was thrown into the cellar, it provided clear evidence that the scheme had escalated too far. This situation shows the dangers of a prank, and when love is involved it can crush a person 's heart, as it did Malvolio
