Similar to some of the other characters in the story, Malvolio’s role in life does not match his true nature; Malvolio possesses the demeanor and nature of the aristocrat. One can find evidence in his condescending rhetoric as seen when he describes Feste as “ a barren rascal ” with “ no more brain than a stone”(I.v.9-11).

This archetype is further present in the play Twelfth Night, in which William Shakespeare utilizes light and darkness in order to…

As a result of this, Olivia falls in love with Cesario, but only the readers know that she is a woman. Awkward and at…
