What is the effect of aside in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night?

A common trick was to have two people carrying on a conversation while a third makes snarky asides to the audience. Act 1 Scene 2 of Cymbeline is a good example of this. Every time the buffoon Cloten says something, the second lord makes a rude remark behind his hand. Julia does the same thing with the buffoon Thurio in Act V Scene 2 of The Two Gentlemen of Verona.

Which Shakespeare play is subtitled 'Or What You Will'?

There are two main theories about why Twelfth Night was called Twelfth Night. One theory suggests that the first performance was on January 5th (the Twefth Day of Christmas). There is some evidence for this, but not enough to be conclusive. The other theory suggests that the title is because the Twelfth Day of Christmas was the Feast of Fools, when the Servants became the Masters, the women were allowed to behave like men, and the children could boss the parents around (but just for one day). 'What you will' is just the Elizabethan way of saying 'Wutteva'. So the title of the play seems to be 'Today, or whatever you want to call it.', or even 'This play has no title.' The play has no main theme, it is one of Shakespeare's most chaotic stories. It's fun though.


What is the moral of twelfth night by William Shakespeare?

Twelfth Night is a play, not a sermon. It is meant to entertain, not teach morals. If you go trying to find morals in it you are bound to come up with something silly like "Don't trust men who drink too much like Sir Toby." or "Just because someone is a knight doesn't mean he's not stupid." or "Don't fall for good-looking boys--they may be girls in disguise." These and any other "morals" you can think of are really stupid.


What is an example of alliteration from Twelfth Night?

"Oh, you are sick of self-love, Malvolio" "Fortune forbid my outside have not charmed her." "My masters, are you mad?" "And in sad cypress let me be laid" "What should that alphabetical position portend?"

Is there any evidence that Antonio in Twelfth Night and Antonio in The Merchant of Venice are the same person?

Yes the Antonio of Twelfth Night is a younger version of the Antiono of The Merchant of Venice, (1) They both come from Venice; (2) They are both engaged in like or similar trades. I have other reasons for thinking this as well. Well, it would be nice to hear the other reasons, because these two are not very good. Antonio in Twelfth Night is not said to be from Venice anywhere in the play. In fact the words Venice and Venetian do not appear in the play. And Antonio in Twelfth Night is a ship's captain (he is actually wanted for piracy in Illyria) and Antonio in Merchant of Venice is a wholesaler. It's like saying that the owner of a warehouse has the same job as a truck driver. You could work out a scenario where they were the same guy, but there is no reason here to think so. You could probably work out a scenario where he later became the Antonio in The Two Gentlemen of Verona as well.
