In Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night," Feste's songs serve multiple purposes, enhancing the play's themes of love, identity, and the passage of time. His music often reflects the emotional undercurrents of the characters and provides commentary on the events unfolding around them. Feste, as the fool, embodies wisdom masked by folly, reminding audiences of the complexities of human experience and the often bittersweet nature of life. Ultimately, his songs highlight the play's blend of joy and melancholy, encapsulating the festive yet poignant spirit of the narrative.
Money. In Act II Scene 3 of Twelfth Night they each give Feste sixpence to sing them a song. Since he sings "O mistress mine, where are you roaming?" they get their money's worth.
One of the reasons the music in Twelfth Night plays an important role is because the characters express their feelings through the songs some of them sing/play. For example, Feste the fool likes to sing about the melancholy aspects of love, because he is in fact singing about him self and his own experiences. One of the songs Feste sings in Twelfth Night is about a man who is doomed to feel sadness, even when married. Many people think Feste was singing about himself. However, afterwards, Feste often likes to brighten up the mood in a room afterwards by singing a happy song that the other characters know, so they can join in. Obviously, Orsino listens to songs when he is in love with Olivia. <-- But that's a totally different question.
Music and songs have special implications in the play Twelfth Night. They help to create the festive atmosphere of the play. It should be noted in this regard that Twelfth Night opens and ends with songs. The opening song ("If music be the food of love, play on") creates the original mood of the play. The audience understands that they have come to see a romantic comedy. The final song ("When that I was and a little tiny boy"), sung by Feste, projects the realistic mood of the play. It reveals that Shakespeare has presented on stage a romantic comedy which is not detached from our everyday reality. Thus, songs are used by Shakespeare not only for the purpose of entertaining the audience, but they are also closely linked to the play's theme.
