What is the definition of characters in Twelfth Night?

The duke is basically characterized by the first line that he utters — "If music be the food of love, play on" — that is, he is the most (or one of the most) melancholy characters that Shakespeare ever created. His entire opening speech is filled with words such as "excess," "surfeiting," "appetite . . . sickening," and "dying fall," words which show the duke to be sentimentally in love with love. He has seen Olivia, and the very sight of her has fascinated him to such an extent that his romantic imagination convinces him that he will perish if she does not consent to be his wife. Thus, this romantic, melancholy indulgence is the crux of the play because the duke uses Cesario (Viola) as his emissary to court Olivia.The duke, however, is as changeable as the "sea" and as inconsistant as "an opal in the sunlight." His languid craving for music is equated by his languid reclining upon an opulent couch and his requesting attention, and then suddenly becoming bored by what he has just requested. It is, however, the duke's changeable nature which allows us to believe that he can immediately switch his love for Olivia to Viola at the end of the play.The duke is, however, according to Olivia and others, a perfect gentleman. He is handsome, brave, courtly, virtuous, noble, wealthy, gracious, loyal and devoted — in short, he is everything a young lady could wish for in a husband. This is ultimately what makes it believeable that Viola does fall in love with him immediately.

What is Twelfth Night about?

It is based on a short story "Of Apolonius and Silla" by Barnabe Rich, which in turn was based on a story by Matteo Bandello. The plot is of a young girl, Viola, who is shipwrecked in a hostile country and disguises herself as a young man to get a job with the local duke Orsino. Orsino is in love with a lady called Olivia and sends his new servant (called Cesario but really Viola in disguise) to persuade Olivia to reciprocate. Unfortunately Olivia falls for Cesario instead. Meanwhile Viola falls in love with Orsino, who is in love with Olivia, who is in love with Viola, who . . . you get the picture. The resolution comes about by the arrival of Viola's identical twin brother who went missing in the same shipwreck. He and Viola believe each other to have drowned. There is a subplot about the humiliation of Olivia's sour and puritanical head steward, Malvolio, at the hands of Olivia's other servants, her drunken cousin, and a foolish young man hoping to marry Olivia.
