At the start of Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night," Viola and Sebastian are separated due to a shipwreck that occurs off the coast of Illyria. Both siblings are presumed to be drowned, but Viola survives and washes ashore, while Sebastian's fate remains unknown to her. This separation sets the stage for Viola's subsequent disguise as a man, leading to a series of comedic misunderstandings throughout the play.

Not only does the main plot dilemma hinge upon Viola, she is the only one of the characters (or at least the first) who knows its kinks. In this sense, Viola has greater wisdom than the others do, for she is able to objectively evaluate (most) of the events that take place while others remain in the dark.
