Twelfth Night
Categories: Drama, Literature & Fiction
Shipwrecked in Illyria and believing her twin brother drowned, Viola disguises herself as a young man, Cesario, and serves Duke Orsino. Orsino sends her to woo the countess Olivia for him, but Olivia falls for Cesario, while Viola falls for Orsino. In Olivia's household, Sir Toby Belch and his companions trick the pompous steward Malvolio into believing his mistress loves him. Shakespeare wrote the comedy around 1601; it was first printed in 1623.
