Wos:

Today:

We had our last workday on your 12th Night Song Project.

These were due today.

I took the last 10-15 minutes to review act 5 and answer questions about the test on Monday. 

Here are the questions that I would like you to prepare for:

The Twelfth Night


Essay Exam
Please answer the following questions in well written essay format. Please make sure that you back up all statements will solid examples from the play. You may use your scripts and any notes that you have to answer each question.



1. One critic has called this play “an anthology of madness”. He states that with the exception of viola and Sebastian, almost everyone in the play exhibits some form of extreme behavior which separates him or her from the norm. Please give three examples of characters exhibiting such abnormal behavior. How does this lens itself to the comedy of the play?





2. Often, the charm and humor of this Shakespearean comedy are still appealing and engaging to a modern audience. How are Viola, Malvolio, Sir Toby Belch and Sir Andrew Aguecheek responsible for the humor in the play?





3. The basic fuel for the play is in mistaken identity. Seemingly everyone is in love with a person that is not the person that they truly are. Please examine the love relationships in the play and detail how this is resolved in Act 5.


You may bring in any notes to assist you, but the the main part of your writing must be done in class.
