William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night

Shakespeare's “Twelfth Night” is a very interesting story. It is about a girl who dresses like a guy, who falls inlove with a guy, who loves the girl who loves her. Act two Scene four The duke (Orsino) is telling Cesario (Viola) that he can tell hes inlove with a young woman named Olivia. Cersario is trying to change Orsinos mind about it I saw two different short clips of this video, similar in content, but almost completely different. Each video had its own techniques, and feeling. The first video was more dramatic, it may not haven’t been down by a professional, but it’s a very good copy. The target seems to be young adults/ teenagers. I think this because the actress’ are young kids. I think the scene is more appeasing to a young audiences’ eye. The setting is simple and cute, the characters are young, and the dialogue is a little different. In this version they did keep the clown singing, but its really hard to understand the song. Version two is more upbeat, and less dramatic. The duke is playful and not how I expected when I read the story. This version is for an older crowd who enjoys drama. The characters are dramatic but with a playful and upbeat twist. I also enjoyed this version. I liked that it was a live play, and that it wasn’t so dead. It had the perfect amount of drama and comedy. This versions’ setting and age of characters are a big thing that put the apart. The characters in this version are older, and professional actors. They also skip the clown singing, and just talk about love. The setting is inside, on stage, with more details, like a music player, a sculpture, a plant, and a stair case. In version one, the techniques used for attracting an audience is, the age of the characters. Kids are going to want to watch kids their age because they will understand them better. If you put a screen in front of a child that has a bunch of adults, they're going to have …show more content…
Both a room in the dukes palace. It doesn’t say which room, but I refer to it at his room. I think the settings are similar in those two versions, except not the same people are there. In version two its only the duke and Cersario. In the play it is the duke, Cesario, Curio, and the clown. I think version two took out the clown and Curio so you could really pay attention to the duke and Cesarios lines. Version one is way different from the play. It still looks like it’s a a palace, like a courtyard. I don’t know why the director would choose to do this, but I like it because it is a quiet and nice setting. Version two, inside the castle is dark and bleak. The play does not give much to work with though, It says “A Room in the DUKE’S Palace”. For the most part version two is the closest to the play, while version one is doing its own thing.
In conclusion, many different interpretations can be made for anything. When it comes to William Shakespeare's “Twelfth Night”, I’ve seen two videos similar in content but different on how there performed. I cant say which version was similar, version two was in the same setting but version one had the most similar
