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.
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.
