The game of love. The game of love is complicated in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. The characters in this book see love as a thing that doesn't matter. Love means a strong liking for someone, but the characters in Twelfth Night seem to fall in love almost instantly.

ou might say they pulled out the stops at the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra concert on Friday. There were many engaging moments in the Cincinnati Symphony's unique program hailing the French organ tradition in Music Hall.

However, Shakespeare’s expansion of comedy serves a duel purpose as he uses it to teach his audience some valuable lessons about life and how one should behave. Shakespeare presents the character Malvolio in…
