in Illiria
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.
Malvolio inadvertently aids Viola and Sebastian's reunion by creating a series of misunderstandings that lead to mistaken identities. His misguided attempts to woo Olivia, believing she loves him due to the forged letter, draw attention away from Viola's true identity. Additionally, his imprisonment allows for the comedic unfolding of events that ultimately brings Sebastian and Viola together, as the chaos surrounding Malvolio's antics creates opportunities for their paths to cross. Thus, his actions, though self-serving, contribute to the eventual resolution of the play's central conflict.

Yes, both unrequited love and mistaken identity are key plot elements in Twelfth Night. Orsino is introduced as someone pining for the love of Olivia, which he cannot win. Viola is also in love with Orsino which she cannot disclose without revealing that she is a woman. Olivia is in love with Viola, believing her to be a man, a love which cannot be requited.
