Who is Olivia's uncle in Twelfth Night?

Feste does disguise himself as "Sir Thopas the curate" who is a clergyman. Sir Toby calls him "Master Parson". It seems odd that the curate is also a knight. In Act IV Scene III Olivia enters dragging a priest with her to marry her to Sebastian. The priest is not named and says nothing. He is described as a "holy man", "good man" and "good father". Is he the same person as Sir Thopas? It's possible, but not necessary.


What happens in Twelfth Night?

Duke Orsino is in love with Lady Olivia, but she won't have anything to do with suitors. Viola is shipwrecked and believes her twin brother Sebastian to be dead. She pretends to be a boy and becomes a servant to Orsino and gets sent to woo Olivia. However, Olivia falls in love with Viola, believing her to be a boy. Viola falls in love with Orsino. Sir Toby Belch (Olivia's uncle), Sir Andrew Aguecheek (his friend), Maria (a maid), Feste (a jester) and Fabian (a servant) plot to make a fool out of Malvolio (Olivia's head steward). They write a letter, apparently from Olivia, in which she confesses her love for Malvolio and wishes him to dress and behave in a ridiculous manner. Believing that this will get Olivia to marry him, he does everything the letter asks but Olivia, who knew nothing about this, has him locked away for being insane. They eventually set him free but he is furious. Sebastian, Viola's brother, turns up and, believing him to be Viola (who Olivia thinks is a boy) she asks him to marry her and he does. Viola's identity is revealed and Orsino falls in love with her and they marry and it is revealed that Sir Toby and Maria have also married.

What is the other name of Twelfth Night?

Twelfth night is regarded as January 6th - but strictly speaking the twelfth night after Christmas is the evening of January 5th. January 6th is the feast of the Epiphany, which commemorates the arrival of the three wise men to Bethlehem, following the birth of Jesus. That event was important because it showed that Jesus was not just born for the Jews, but was to be acknowledged by all mankind... the non-Jews and the Jews (represented by the shepherds).

In Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night," Viola gains a hearing by disguising herself as a young man named Cesario. After being shipwrecked and separated from her twin brother, she takes on this disguise to find work and protect herself in the unfamiliar land of Illyria.

I assume it's Act 4 Scene 3 you are talking about. At the beginning of the scene Sebastian has a soliloquy in which he is musing about Olivia's treatment of him as if she knows him well, when he doesn't know her at all. He concludes, "I am mad or else the lady's mad." He is interrupted by Olivia, accompanied by a priest, who asks him to marry her. And he says yes.
