Which Shakespeare play is subtitled 'Or What You Will'?
There are two main theories about why Twelfth Night was called Twelfth Night. One theory suggests that the first performance was on January 5th (the Twefth Day of Christmas). There is some evidence for this, but not enough to be conclusive. The other theory suggests that the title is because the Twelfth Day of Christmas was the Feast of Fools, when the Servants became the Masters, the women were allowed to behave like men, and the children could boss the parents around (but just for one day). 'What you will' is just the Elizabethan way of saying 'Wutteva'. So the title of the play seems to be 'Today, or whatever you want to call it.', or even 'This play has no title.' The play has no main theme, it is one of Shakespeare's most chaotic stories. It's fun though.
