In Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night," Viola gains a hearing by disguising herself as a young man named Cesario. After being shipwrecked and separated from her twin brother, she takes on this disguise to find work and protect herself in the unfamiliar land of Illyria. She becomes a page for Duke Orsino, who sends her to court Lady Olivia on his behalf, thus allowing her to engage with both characters and advance the plot. This clever disguise sets the stage for the ensuing comedic and romantic misunderstandings.
