The Twelfth Night

Essay Exam 2015 CP/CPA Please answer 1of the 3 questions in well-developed 3 paragraph (one page) answer.  H Please answer two essay questions.

 

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 lend itself to the comedy of the play? Please give specific examples to back up your opinion.

  1. Often, the charm and humor of this Shakespearian 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?  Please give specific examples for each.


  1. 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.
We played the review game, Who Wants to Win a Pizza Party?  You won and stopped on 80's day- great job!
