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.

How is Malvolio from Twelfth Night a comedic character?
Malvolio is what they called in Shakespeare's day a "humourous man", a person excessively dominated by a particular characteristic. Tormenting such a person is an element in several comedies. In Malvolio's case, his dominating humour is pride, and the belief that he is more than just a steward. In one scene and in one scene only does the sending-up of Malvolio's vanity reach truly hilarious proportions, and this is the scene where he reads the cryptic letter he supposes to be from Olivia. The scene where he appears before Olivia cross-gartered and smiling is also pretty funny. Watch a performance of either of these scenes by any competent actor (Alec Guinness or Nigel Hawthorne are both recommended) and you will see what I mean.

How is act 1 scene 2 and act 2 scene 1 Parallel scenes for twelfth night?
Act 1, Scene 2 and Act 2, Scene 1 in "Twelfth Night" both involve shipwrecks and characters grieving the loss of loved ones. In both scenes, Viola/Cesario is involved in emotional exchanges with other characters (Olivia and Orsino respectively). These parallel scenes set a tone of melancholy and mistaken identities that drive the plot of the play forward.
What is the name of William Shakespeare's funniest play?
Everyone will have a different answer to this, because people have different senses of humour. The comedies are not funny all the way through--there are scenes which are very serious and painful in almost all of them. Certain scenes, however, are hilarious. These include the scene in Twelfth Night where Malvolio reads the forged letter, the scenes in Much Ado where Benedick and Beatrice eavesdrop, the scene in Merry Wives where Mrs. Ford and Mrs. Page discover that Falstaff has sent them copies of the same love letter, the scene in Comedy of Errors where Dromio describes his twin brother's wife, and the amateur play in Midsummer Night's Dream.
What is an example of Closed couplet from Twelfth Night?
"Be you his eunuch, and your mute I'll be;When my tongue blabs, then let mine eyes not see." (Act 1 Scene 2)
When In the Tewlfth Nigh act 3 scene 4 do the characters seem to talk to the audience?
In Act 3, Scene 4 of "Twelfth Night," the characters seem to talk to the audience through their asides and soliloquies. For example, Malvolio's soliloquy about Olivia's supposed love for him reveals his inner thoughts to the audience, while also giving insight into his character. Additionally, characters like Feste and Maria make witty remarks and puns that can be interpreted as speaking directly to the audience.
In scene 2 lines 68-75 what does sir toby realize?
Next time, forget the line numbers and remember to say which act of Twelfth Night you are talking about. Let's see. In Act 1 there is a scene 2, but Sir Toby isn't in it. There's one in Act 2 as well, but that's Viola's ring speech. There isn't a scene 2 in Act 5. Sir Toby is in Act 4 Scene 2 and also in Act 3 Scene 2. According to my edition of the play, Line 68 of Act 3 Scene 2 is Maria's line "Yond gull Malvolio is turned heathen, a very renegade." She goes on to tell Sir Toby that Malvolio has swallowed the bait hook line and sinker. Line 68 of Act 4 Scene 2 is Sir Toby's line "If he may be conveniently delivered, I would he were, for I am so far in offence with my niece that I cannot pursue with any safety this sport to the upshot." That takes him to line 71 when he exits the stage. Lines 72 to 75 are Feste singing. The "he" who is to be delivered is of course Malvolio; Sir Toby has decided that this game might jeopardize his ability to live off Olivia, and therefore it should end. So, depending on what act you are talking about, Sir Toby realizes that Malvolio has swallowed the ruse completely (if Act 3) or Sir Toby realizes that the trick might impair his living as a leech (if Act 4). Either way, the line numbers quoted don't make much sense, but since they are totally different from edition to edition, they never do. That is why I say forget the line numbers (but not the act number) and use a quotation instead. Ask "What does Sir Toby realize in Act 3 Scene 2 when Maria says that Malvolio has turned renegade?" or something like that.
