Why is malvolio from Twelfth Night greedy for power?
He is not really. But he is incredibly vain so he imagines himself as being the beloved of Olivia and therefore having power over her household, even (and perhaps especially) Sir Toby. Sir Toby is family and Malvolio is only a servant, so Toby can rebuke him all he likes, and Malvolio can only take his revenge in fantasy. When Maria's letter falls into his hands, the possibility arises that fantasy may become reality. Still, Malvolio's dreams of the greatness that is to be thrust upon him is limited to the suggestion in the letter--that he might marry Olivia and be in charge of the house. This is really a modest ambition, when you think of it.
What are the pranks in Twelfth Night?
I think by pranks you are referring to Malvolio and what the others told him. He was sent a letter by Maria, Toby and Andrew who pretended to be Olivia. They told him to wear yellow stockings and crossed garters, to smile inanely and refuse to explain himself to anyone to show his love for Olivia. Therefore everyone other than Maria, Toby and Andrew thinks that he is mad.
