When does malvolio find out that maria wrote the lover letter?
Malvolio discovers that Maria wrote the love letter when he confronts her in Act 5, Scene 1 of Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night." After being deceived and humiliated throughout the play, he realizes the truth when he sees Maria alongside Sir Toby and the others who orchestrated the prank. This moment highlights the theme of mistaken identity and the consequences of ambition, as Malvolio's earlier self-confidence leads to his downfall.
Why is malvolio from Twelfth Night greedy for power?
He is not really. But he is incredibly vain so he imagines himself as being the beloved of Olivia and therefore having power over her household, even (and perhaps especially) Sir Toby. Sir Toby is family and Malvolio is only a servant, so Toby can rebuke him all he likes, and Malvolio can only take his revenge in fantasy. When Maria's letter falls into his hands, the possibility arises that fantasy may become reality. Still, Malvolio's dreams of the greatness that is to be thrust upon him is limited to the suggestion in the letter--that he might marry Olivia and be in charge of the house. This is really a modest ambition, when you think of it.
Explain the scene of Gulling of Malvolio?
The gulling of Malvolio occurs in Act 2, Scene 5 of Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night." In this comedic scene, Maria, Sir Toby, and Sir Andrew trick Malvolio into believing that Olivia loves him by planting a false letter that he finds. The letter is cleverly crafted to play on Malvolio's vanity and ambition, leading him to act foolishly as he imagines himself as Olivia's suitor. The scene highlights themes of deception and social ambition, ultimately showcasing Malvolio's misguided self-importance and the humor in his downfall.
What are the pranks in Twelfth Night?
I think by pranks you are referring to Malvolio and what the others told him. He was sent a letter by Maria, Toby and Andrew who pretended to be Olivia. They told him to wear yellow stockings and crossed garters, to smile inanely and refuse to explain himself to anyone to show his love for Olivia. Therefore everyone other than Maria, Toby and Andrew thinks that he is mad.
Why does Sir Toby want to end the practical joke on Malvolio?
Because he is bad a pranks

IsTwelfth Night a comedy or a tragedy?
It's a comedy. There are three weddings at the end (Viola and Orsino, Sebastian and Olivia, Sir Toby and Maria), and although things don't turn out so great for Sir Andrew or Malvolio, at least they are not dead.
What happens in the end of Twelfth Night?
All the confusion and trickery is revealed. Sebastian and Viola are reunited. Duke Orsino marries Viola. Lady Olivia marries Sebastian. Sir Toby marries Maria. Malvolio leaves and threatens revenge.
What happens to malvolio at the end of twelfth night?
At the end of "Twelfth Night," Malvolio is released from captivity after being tricked and humiliated by other characters, particularly by Sir Toby Belch and Maria. He is enraged and vows revenge on those who wronged him, declaring that he will be "revenged on the whole pack of you." His final lines highlight his bitterness and sense of injustice, contrasting with the play's overarching themes of love and forgiveness. Ultimately, Malvolio's fate serves as a cautionary tale about pride and the consequences of self-righteousness.
In scene 2 lines 68-75 what does sir toby realize?
Next time, forget the line numbers and remember to say which act of Twelfth Night you are talking about. Let's see. In Act 1 there is a scene 2, but Sir Toby isn't in it. There's one in Act 2 as well, but that's Viola's ring speech. There isn't a scene 2 in Act 5. Sir Toby is in Act 4 Scene 2 and also in Act 3 Scene 2. According to my edition of the play, Line 68 of Act 3 Scene 2 is Maria's line "Yond gull Malvolio is turned heathen, a very renegade." She goes on to tell Sir Toby that Malvolio has swallowed the bait hook line and sinker. Line 68 of Act 4 Scene 2 is Sir Toby's line "If he may be conveniently delivered, I would he were, for I am so far in offence with my niece that I cannot pursue with any safety this sport to the upshot." That takes him to line 71 when he exits the stage. Lines 72 to 75 are Feste singing. The "he" who is to be delivered is of course Malvolio; Sir Toby has decided that this game might jeopardize his ability to live off Olivia, and therefore it should end. So, depending on what act you are talking about, Sir Toby realizes that Malvolio has swallowed the ruse completely (if Act 3) or Sir Toby realizes that the trick might impair his living as a leech (if Act 4). Either way, the line numbers quoted don't make much sense, but since they are totally different from edition to edition, they never do. That is why I say forget the line numbers (but not the act number) and use a quotation instead. Ask "What does Sir Toby realize in Act 3 Scene 2 when Maria says that Malvolio has turned renegade?" or something like that.
