When was Twelfth night set?

The title suggests that it was at Twelfth Night or Epiphany which falls on January 6. However, there are no lines in the play which suggest that this is the case. Indeed the time setting was very vague and it can be and has been set very convincingly at a time several centuries after Shakespeare'd death. The title of the play is, in full, "Twelfth Night, or What You Will". The Stationer's Register shows that someone else wrote a play called "What You Will" at almost the same time. It is possible that this other play came out just as Shakespeare was finishing his play, which he intended to have the same title. He wouldn't want his play to be confused with the other one, and so quickly attached the name "Twelfth Night", perhaps because the play was to be premiered then. The Christmas and Epiphany seasons were popular times for the King or Queen to command special performances of plays at court, and so might be the occasion for a premiere.

What is the main point of Hamlet's soliloquy Now is the very witching time of night...?

No, it's not to tell us that he's a vampire, even though he says he could drink hot blood. Mostly it's to tell us what he has in mind for his upcoming visit to his mother--he's going to talk mean to her but not going to hurt her physically. At the beginning he expresses his bloodthirsty (figuratively, not literally) mood but he is less bloodthirsty as the soliloquy progresses.


What are the types of stories that William shakespeare wrote?
