In Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night," Duke Orsino expresses a strong dislike for unrequited love and the pain it brings. He is infatuated with Olivia, who mourns her brother and is not interested in his advances, leading Orsino to wallow in his own feelings of despair. His obsession with love and the melancholy that accompanies it ultimately reveals his romantic idealism, as he struggles to understand the nature of true affection beyond mere desire.
