Various speculative works have proposed archetypal plots or incidents, including Joseph Campbell and Jung. The various authors generally disagree on what these plots are and what their essential characteristics are. Therefore my answer may not correspond with that of someone who is using a different model of the archetypes. I choose to refer to Christopher Booker's The Seven Basic Plots. According to Booker's classification, Twelfth Night is a comedy, which proceeds from adversity to a happy conclusion. The adversity is the shipwreck which separates brother from sister and lands Viola with only one companion on a hostile shore. To overcome this adversity she takes on the personality of Cesario, which deception creates the triangle of frustrated love at the centre of the plot. The love triangle can only be resolved by the reveal, by the disclosure of the truth, which will enable Orsino to reciprocate Viola's love, and enable Olivia to understand why Viola cannot reciprocate hers. The reveal also reunites the separated siblings, thus allowing a happy ending for all the main characters.

∙ 13y agoTwelfth Night is one of the plays where Shakespeare uses the technique of having a girl disguise herself as a boy. He has a "humourous man", a person who is ridiculed for having a strong and overriding character trait, in the person of Malvolio. He uses the stock characters of the foolish knights (Sir Andrew and Sir Toby) and Columbine the scheming servant woman (Maria). The idea of twins who are mistaken for each other is one which he had already explored in The Comedy of Errors.

Do 12 days of Christmas relate to before Christmas as well as after Christmas?
Well, Twelfth Night is the night of 6th January (Epiphany), which is traditionally the end of Christmastide. The first day of Christmas is Christmas Day, with the first night being that night (after the day). If you count forward you find the Twelfth Day is the 5th of January, with Twelfth Night being the night at the end of that day, being the night before Epiphany. People used to celebrate things a lot on the nights before them, like having Midnight Mass on the night before Christmas Day, or the Easter Vigil on the night before Easter, or Halloween (All Hallow's Eve) on the night before All Saint's Day (All Hallow's Day). The Twelve Days of Christmas are Christmastide, when people used to take a holiday and party for 12 days. It's bad luck to leave your decorations up after Twelfth Night.
