In Shakespeare's play "Twelfth Night," Duke Orsino asks Viola, who is disguised as the young man Cesario, to deliver messages of love to Lady Olivia on his behalf. He is infatuated with Olivia and believes that Cesario's youthful charm will persuade her to return his affections. This task sets off a series of comedic misunderstandings and romantic entanglements throughout the play.
