<span style="font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">The play <i>Twelfth Night</i> by
William Shakespeare presents the theme of identity confusion in many different
ways. We see that When Viola washes ashore in Illyria; she pays the
captain to disguise her as a male. When he does this, after a good pay, she
takes on the name Cesario and enters the house of Duke Orsino as a servant.
Things get interesting in the house because we can tell that Duke becomes
attracted to Cesario, saying that he is comparable to Olivia, whom he claims he
loves, with his womanly features. Similarly, when Duke sends Cesario over to
Olivia’s house to read off another one of his ill-fated love letters
proclaiming his passion for Olivia, she begins to fall in love with Cesario,
and not Duke like what was intended to happen. This creates a very interesting
love triangle, not only because everybody likes somebody different, but also
because Cesario is actually Viola, a girl. This causes great problems because
Olivia, thinking that she loves Cesario, is actually in love with another girl,
Viola. More problems arise because of Viola’s striking resemblance to her
thought to be dead brother, Sebastian. Antonio, a man who took in Sebstian
after he washed up, and has seemingly fallen in love with him, enters Olivia’s
house to find Cesario, along with Olivia, Andrew, Toby, Maria, among others.
Because officers in Illyria do not like Antonio, because of his naval feud
against Illyria, he is arrested. Thinking that Cesario is actually Sebastian,
he calls on Cesario to give his purse back, which was given to Sebastian
earlier in the play. And because Cesario obviously does not know what is
happening, Antonio is heartbroken at Cesario rejecting him. Even more instances
of identity confusion and deception occur when Sir Andrew and Sir Toby find
Sebastian outside of Olivia’s house. Thinking that Sebastian is actually
Cesario, who was about to duel Sir Andrew, they go after him. However, Olivia
finds Sir Toby and Sebastian with swords drawn, and implores them to stop,
mistaking Sebastian for the Cesario that she loves. Sebastian is greatly
confused by this seemingly beautiful girl asking him to marry her, but he
agrees. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Identity confusion is also
rampant throughout the final scene.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">Identity is something that
many people have a hard time figuring out. Adolescents and college students
many times are still searching themselves to find their identity, and in the
process, go through many instances where they are confused at their identity.
Zen meditation, for the past weeks that I have been there, has helped me to realize
my identity not only for college, but also for what I want to do beyond. It has
helped me to reflect on options for the future, internships, jobs, and even
classes. Just this past week, Zen meditation has helped me to think about my
identity in the sense of where I want to be next year, in terms of study
abroad. It has helped me to decide what would be best for me; what program will
bets fit the identity that I want to develop. I have always had some issues,
and reflection has always helped me with those. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

that I have learned this semester in this class is to appreciate all forms of
writing. We have seen many different kinds of techniques and writing styles
throughout the semester, and some of them at the face didn’t seem to be appealing.
But going more in depth with the readings can show that there are much more
than just the words that are being conveyed on the page. I have learned to have
a deeper appreciation for all forms of writing that I may come across.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">In
the <i>Twelfth Night or, What You Will</i> by
William Shakespeare, the main theme throughout the story is about identity. More
specifically it discusses how the main characters are trying to find their true
self and they do this by portraying someone or something else. The Duke and Olivia
both seem to be displaying string emotions. Viola goes so far into actually
changing her physical appearance in order to find herself. Also while volunteering
at Tunbridge these past few weeks, I have also seen the kids trying to find their
identity and even my supervisor since this is his first year teaching at Tunbridge.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> The Duke and Olivia could be seen as
having the same identity crisis in that they both display over dramatic and
exaggerated feelings. The Duke claims that he is in love with Olivia and is
constantly sending over messengers to Olivia’s house, but is constantly being
rejected. He also appears to be very indecisive in his feelings as shown in the
very first stanza in the poem. At first he tells the musician to play a love
song, “If music be the food of love, play on” then he says to play the song
again, “That strain again!” and finally he tells them to stop because he doesn’t
like the song anymore, “Enough; no more: ’T is not so sweet now as it was
before.” Olivia is also very dramatic when she responds to the Duke’s constant
confessions saying that she will not leave her house for seven years to grieve
the death of her brother. This statement is sort of exaggerating the situation
since a person should be able to grieve a loved one, but not for that long
because then you wouldn’t be living a full life. The clown even points out her foolishness
by stating that there is no point in grieving for brother since his soul is in
heaven. At Tunbridge I have also seen and heard kids dealing with their identity
and even exaggerating themselves. One of the other teachers was talking about
how when they were discussing the Jim Crow laws, one the students asked if the
laws would apply to her since she was born white and just became more and more
black, the opposite of what Michael Jackson had. The teachers were having a
laugh about it and reading the story reminded me about that little situation. The
student was talking about her identity even though she was most likely she was
just joking. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> The main protagonist in the play is
Viola and she has the biggest issue with her identity. She is saved from a
shipwreck and in this new land she decides to change her appearance and even
her gender in order to work under the Duke and eventually discover her true
feelings. She disguises herself as a man named Cesario and becomes the love messenger
between the Duke and Olivia. She ends up falling in love with the Duke and
continues to try to make Olivia love the Duke even though Viola truly loves
him. My supervisor, Mr. Graeff, is teaching at Tunbridge for the first time and
I feel that he is also trying to find himself and his place in the school. He tries
to meet everyone needs and I saw this when him and another teacher were having
a discussion about the mobile computer lab. Mr. Graeff had requested the
laptops but the last teacher who used them still needed a couple to use so he
let her and then the other teacher tells him how that is against policy and
that he had an argument about that with the same teacher early in the year. Mr.
Graeff also tells me how they are implementing a new style of teaching from
Asia, where they concentrate a lot more on the process and working backwards
from the answer. This is very difficult for the kids, but he is trying to find
the best ways to teach the kids.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

this semester from this class is how much volunteering connects with the
readings and just how good it feels to give back to the community. In almost every
single reading from the class, I could relate back to my time while
volunteering at Tunbridge. The books talk about universal themes such as family
and heritage, identity, people you see as heroes and kids are in the beginning stage
of their lives and you are able to see them experience these things. Giving up
your time and helping those who could benefit from your help is a superb
feeling because you know that assisted them in what would have been a harder
task for them</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04766727912195268011noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6729231613691005973.post-81075305854132825572013-11-20T22:52:00.000-08:002013-11-20T22:52:05.334-08:00Demonstration of Identity<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
In “Twelfth Night,
or What You Will,” Shakespeare always seems to keep the suspense going
throughout this play by generating a complex plot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>An ongoing theme that keeps this plot
interesting is his use of identity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There is much quandary within the characters circumstances as some do
not know how they feel, some change their minds, and some just get put in
awkward situations that make them question themselves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I volunteer with Soccer Without Borders,
we make sure the kids stay true to their identities because they all are from
different parts of the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Identity
is important to them as it is to us, and we try to teach them how important it
is to show them respect of each other’s cultural backgrounds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Staying true to one’s identity is an important
aspect of life and Shakespeare presents this idea in his own creative way
throughout this play.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
In this play, the
relationships between characters intertwine and are connected whether the
characters know it themselves or not.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There are multiple ways in which Shakespeare uses identity to help
create this complicated, yet entertaining plot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The first depiction of identity is when Viola decides to disguise
herself as a young man, taking the name of Cesario, so she could work in Duke
Orsino’s household.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This one form of
trickery altars the rest of the play in many ways by creating sexual confusion
within the ‘love triangle’ that becomes apparent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Viola takes a bold risk by putting on male
clothes and making everyone believe she is a young man because any wrong move
could uncover her disguise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What Viola
thought to be a clever idea, only puts her in an awkward situation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because she is now ‘Cesario,’ she cannot tell
Duke Orsino she loves him, and she cannot tell Olivia why she (as Cesario)
cannot love her back.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This swap of
identity becomes the central conflict in the play.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This identity swap soon becomes an issue in
the final scene when everyone has a different idea of who she is.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Luckily for Viola, the appearance of
Sebastian saves her by taking over the roles she was trying to maintain
throughout the play all along.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although
she got what she wanted, this scene helps show how staying true to your own
identity is necessary in order to stay out of trouble.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
Another identity
situation within the play is when the letter orders Malvolio to wear specific
elements of clothing and to act in a certain way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The letter writes, “Remember who commended
thy yellow stockings, and wished to see thee ever cross-gartered: I say, remember”
(33).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Malvolio takes the demands of the
letter seriously and dresses opposite to how he usually would.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He changes his image because he does not know
his own identity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This shows how knowing
one’s identity will help one be strong and independent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This letter manipulates Malvolio into thinking
he needs to do exactly what the letter says in order to succeed within this
situation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
This identity
manipulation directly connects to working with the middle school students
within Soccer Without Borders because every student is learning at a different
pace depending on when they have become apart of the program.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We welcome each new student in the same
respect and we want him or her to feel equally acceptable no matter what his or
her circumstances may be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We strive for
every student to focus on their individual goals because they are all on
different intellectual levels.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Soccer
Without Borders brings together the activity of playing soccer in order to
bring those together who enjoy such an exciting activity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It makes me smile when I see these kids play
on the field because their excitement and enjoyment fills me with a feeling I
cannot even describe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The idea of these
students enjoying the environmental benefits the world has to offer makes me
feel as though we have all contributed to something special.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Identity is something truly important to our
soul because it directly correlates to who we are as individuals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Shakespeare uses this theme to demonstrate
the idea that identity is what identifies who we are. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">In Shakespeare’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Twelfth Nigh, or What You Will</i>, Shakespeare develops clear
contrasts in characters to portray a sense of the right and wrong ways to go
about ones life to his audience. Orsino is used as a character that is extreme
in his emotions and therefore does not have any clear and genuine feelings
especially regarding love. Shakespeare uses Olivia as a character who, like
Orsino, goes overboard in her emotions that are very different from societal
norms. He uses Viola as a set contrast and positive outlook on how to be in
control of one’s life and how to path the way for one’s own destiny. Shakespeare
uses his characters Orsino, Olivia, and Viola to portray what happens to one’s
character when their identities are skewed or disguised.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Orsino and Olivia’s identities are both very
skewed. Orsino is a crazily indecisive with whether or not he actually loves
Olivia. This begs the audience to question whether or not he is actually in
love with her or the idea of her. Shakespeare shows that an incredibly uncertain
character where his emotions go from one extreme to the next is not a good
quality to have. Shakespeare leads his audience to believe that his impulsive,
lovesick, over boisterous, and dramatic Orsino is actually just a man running
after the outward appearance of Olivia as well as being the center of
attention. Likewise, Olivia is also a character that loves to be in the
limelight; her drama queen tendencies after her brother’s passing show this
cleary. Shakespeare wants his audience to realize that no one in the world
would want a person to mourn for them like Olivia chooses to do. Both Orsino
and Olivia have skewed identities because they are so lost in being drama
queens that they forget about true and genuine emotions and normal societal
norms for going about life’s endeavors. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Viola disguises her physical identity into a man
merely to be able to work for Duke Orsino as a pageboy. Viola gets shipwrecked
on Illyria and is totally alone with a missing brother and nothing to her name
and, although she comes from and noble background like Orsino and Olivia, her
first instinct is to try to find a way to fend for herself. Unlike Orsino and
Olivia who are both incredibly irrational and unrealistic Shakespeare uses
Viola as someone who resembles mentality and practicality. The audience
develops a certain understanding and compassion for Viola that Shakespeare
meaningfully makes sure they are not able to feel for Orsino and Olivia. Viola’s
actions and emotions are the ones that seem most real and genuine. Shakespeare
uses Viola and contrasts her to these polar opposite characters in order to
show that, although one may be of a higher class, this does not mean that they
do not have the ability to be independent and in charge.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">I went to see the play <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Importance of Being Earnest</i> here at Loyola. Deceit and actually
not being so earnest were two big themes that ran through the play. In order to
marry the ones they fell in love with, the two male leads in the play disguised
their true identities; one even impersonating the other. The play is humorous
and complicated with a strange happy ending just like the play we read in
class. Like Shakespeare’s play, this play also had contrasts between morals and
over exaggerations of the truth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">I never cease to be surprised at just how much
reading and discussing different pieces of literature actually gives me an
insight into the world. Yet, the most surprising and interesting thing I have
done all this semester would be our iExamen’s. Although the tasks only asked no
more than just a day, they helped me to be aware of the things I do on a daily
bases and I am immensely grateful to have done them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Shakespeare’s <u>Twelfth Night, Or What You Will</u> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Importance of being Earnest </i>by Oscar Wilde both put an emphasis
on the aspects of identity and deception. In William Shakespeare’s play we see Viola
dress up as a man (Cesario) to get her life back in order and work for either
Olivia or the Duke. In Oscar Wilde’s play we see Earnest who also pretends to
be his own brother Jack when he is out of town and Algernon who also pretends
to be Earnest’s brother to take the hand of Earnest’s ward Cecily. With all of
these lies and deceptive doings many problems arise which, but in the end most
of these problems are resolved with the exception of Malvolio who pledges
revenge against those who tricked him into thinking Olivia his one true love
was in in love with him. Deception is a tricky game to play with, almost like
gambling, you roll the dice, if you’re lucky you win, if you lose, then what
was the point in lying in the first place at all?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

first characters to use deception in both of these plays had harmless
intentions, only to better themselves, not in a selfish way, but to create an
advantage. Viola’s plan as we clearly see goes downhill. When she is sent to
woo Olivia for the Duke, because the he sees her as handsome and young even
though she is a woman, she goes without question. She impresses Olivia who was thought
to be unwilling to see anyone for seven years due to her brother’s death, and Olivia
asks Cesario to come back, not mentioning any responses to the Duke’s love for
her besides that he should give up. When all of this unravels and Viola’s
brother comes into the picture and beats up Sir Toby and Sir Andrew and Cesario
is blamed and Cesario is thought to be married to Olivia, Viola is sentenced to
be killed. Then Sebastian finds Antonio and his sister, and the foggy air is
finally cleared. In regards to Wilde’s play, both Algernon and Earnest find
themselves in the predicament of being engaged to women, who don’t know their
true names. This leads to misgivings, and everything almost falls apart until Jack
finds out his real name is Earnest and that his mother is Lady Bracknell’s son.
Many events unfolded and could have ended up for the worst, but the lucky roll
of the dice proved useful in both of these play’s conclusions. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

never was a good writer in high school, whether or not it was from focusing
more on math and other subjects that interested me, or maybe I didn’t have the
skill of writing. Either way, I have found out that when something in
literature interests me, I can almost always type up a coherent and flowing
essay. When it is a piece of work that maybe doesn’t appeal to me because of my
lack of knowledge on the subject or it just bores me then I can’t seem to write
my best work. With this observation I have come up with a hypothesis to
mitigate this problem to a level that will remain tangible throughout the rest
of my college career. If not amusing to me I will try to interpret the story or
poem in a peculiar not normal way to my liking. This is very risky because my
thoughts may differ tremendously from the meaning at hand but I predict it will
be a useful tool for me in future writings. Among the vast amount of new
techniques and different ways of analyzing poems, short stories and poems, the
most interesting thing I gained in writing the six blogs was how to improve my
writing skills.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

In this comedy, Shakespeare cleverly places love and identity at the heart of the play. Shakespeare waste no time in exploring the idea of both, leaving his audience with an explicit understanding. In comparison, Dr. Gruen leads us to analyze the origins of identity by analyzing its relevance to the ancient world and modern world. He does not hesitate to do this, which reflects the importance of this idea.<br />
<br />
In <em>Twelfth Night, or What You Will</em>, written by William Shakespeare we are immediately introduced to the problem of love. Simply put, Shakespeare mirrors the Duke and Olivia, two characters with similar characteristics in regards to love. Both are intrigued by the idea of love, and through this we become aware of their traits. As neither one is willing to submit to one another they begin to build a relationship around Viola, whom is under disguise. Here, we see that love and identity are at the climax of the play.<br />
<br />
In search for her identity, Viola takes on a role that is less than revealing of her moral character. In Viola not only do the characters come to learn what deep love is, the audience begins to learn that identity is not as much a difference than love. Throughout the play characters struggle with their sense of identity, playing it safe by masking/disguising their true character. As the play begins to unfold, the audience and characters are indirectly in search for their identity. Through the loss of identity, we find love.<br />
<br />
Dr. Erich Gruer's "Did Ancient Identity Depend on Ethnicity?" maintains a take on the ancient world and modern world vocabulary. He furthers his discuss by first identifying what identity and ethnicity are and then juxtaposing the two. Actually, he is very successful with exploring the underlying meaning of the two. Dr. Gruer sets the foundation for the meaning of identity, how it is used in modern society, and how that can be applied to how significant, if at all, it was to the ancients. With frequent reference to stories within the Bible, Dr. Gruer relates the topic to Jesus Christ in a sense. In exploring identity we also come to realize that identity stems from the basic human needs of life.<br />
<br />
The most important thing I learned this semester was to correctly analyze literary works. Where I failed to fully interpret the works, I definitely found joy in hearing what my classmates had to say. Not only was I able to ask further questions but it allowed me to understand that Loyola does have a body of talented individuals. Whether we were right or wrong we each seemed to help each other further what they had to say. We led each other into wanting to discuss and participate in the lectures. If that is one thing to take away from this class then that would be it.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04378630324968093874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6729231613691005973.post-3077644178093860912013-11-20T21:26:00.001-08:002013-11-20T21:26:47.207-08:00Identity<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The
characters in The Twelfth Night have very misconstrued self-identities, for
example, Orsino believes he knows who he is and what he wants, but in fact he
does not. On the other hand, Viola knows her self very well, while she is
technically is disguised. While Dr. Erich Gruen would probably also criticize
the character’s skewed self-perception, he would undoubtedly agree with the way
their base their identity- on their character, not on their race.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Duke
Orsino shows his confusion of self immediately to the readers. In his first
speech, he begins by raving about the music that is playing, “If music be the
food of love, play on”. He makes his affections clear, but they do not last
long. Only lines later, he asks for the same music to be stopped. “Enough, no
more/’T is not so sweet now as it was before”, he states. His back and forth
mindset indicates something about his nature- he is hot one minute and cold the
next. One minute he may feel passionately about something, however the next he
may want nothing to do with it. Shakespeare invites the reader to understand
that this is part of his character. Therefore, the reader can infer that while
he may feel passionately about Olivia at the beginning of the play, there’s no
predicting how he may feel at a later time. The Duke is unable to see this
about himself, however. He refuses to relinquish his desire to win Olivia over;
rather he persists no matter how many times she rejects his advances. His
finicky nature is also demonstrated when he proposes to Viola immediately after
finding out she is not Cesario, but a woman. He may see himself as a romantic
and dedicated lover, but in fact he is not. If he were so, he would not have
given up on Oliva so easily. Likewise, he may identify as a romantic, but that
does not make him one. A romantic would be doing anything and everything to win
the woman he loves over. Orsino, however, only sends others to do his bidding.
There is nothing romantic about a woman receiving messages through pages from a
man who claims to love her. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Conversely,
Viola seems to have the clearest self identity in the play. Ironically, she is
the one disguising herself, but she can see herself the clearest. She maintains
her honor throughout the play, even if it means sacrificing her happiness. She
is willing to do so due to her self-identity as an honorable and good person.
She is able to watch the man she loves pine over someone else, and even help
him woo her. She stays true to her identity in this manner. She knows she could
stoop to the level of sabotaging their interactions, but she does not. She will
not sacrifice her identity as a good and honorable person by doing so. When she
finally reveals herself at the end of the play, her identity has not changed.
Her appearance and desires do not change whom she really is, neither does the
way she dresses.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Dr.
Erich lectured on the difference between identity now and in the ancient world.
Today, everyone identifies with his or her race or nationality. Race lines and
nationality divide our culture. In ancient times, however, identity was similar
to the way identify is seen in The Twelfth Night. Peoples during those times
only identified themselves with who they were as a person, not by the color of
their skin.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The
way Dr. Erich describes Identify is parallel to the way Shakespeare’s
characters identify themselves. One’s identity, they believe, comes from who
someone is, not from what race they are. Although the characters are sometimes
unable to identify who they really are, they still base their self-image on who
they are, not how they look. That is how everyone should identify himself or
herself, through careful reflection of who they really are, not on their skin
tone or nationality. What makes you who you are is your behavior, not your ancestors.

<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>This
week I attend the showing of Girl Rising, a movie that tells the stories of nine
girls who were born in a society that prevented them from attending school. These
nine girls all had their own individual identity, however societal restraints
limited the their identity. In Shakespeare’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Twelfth Night, or What You Will</i>, there are also many identity
crises that exist, but these identity problems are not due to societal
constraints; they are from the ignorance of the characters to themselves and to
others. The problem of identity restrictions and identity awareness is
something that each individual character in both the play and the movie. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Viola
is the character in the play that has the most complex identity issues. She is
forced in the beginning of the play to go in disguise in order to survive. By
dressing up and pretending to be Cesario, a male servant working for Duke
Orsino, she is undergoing her first identity crisis. Although she is pretending
to be someone else, she is ultimately revealing her maturity, bravery, and
wisdom. After facing the fact that she is in an unknown city with no clothes
and money she come to her sense and makes sacrifices in order to survive.
Viola, throughout the play, demonstrates her resourcefulness and courage, even
when she gets tangled in her love triangle. In contrast to Viola’s intelligence
is the ignorance of many of the other characters. Most of the other characters
are not able to see the true genuine goodness in life, and that is why they are
unable to see Viola’s true identity. At the end of the play when Viola unveils
her true identity, her and Orsino end up together. Their unity reveals that
Orsino, although it took much time, ultimately recognized what love and good
are. What also strengthened their relationship is because of the fact it
started with a genuine friendship. All the characters in Shakespeare’s play
both have an inward and outward identity that is completely different.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Like
Shakespeare’s characters, the girls in Girl Rising have an inward and outward
identity: one that is genuine, and one that is the outward disguise. Girl
Rising made me reflect on my identity, my society, and my education. It made me
feel grateful and appreciative for things I might take for granted. Education
was something that was limited to most girls in the movie; however, this movie
demonstrated that educating one girl can changes societies and generations to
come. If girls are not educated they are likely to be married young under the
age 18 living a life that is not theirs, but a life and identity that they are
forced to accept. Today there are 66 million girls that are uneducated. This
statement rattled my thoughts because I attend a university where women are the
majority. As an educated woman, I want to be force of change to as much of an
extent as I can. These girls lived such a hard life with a forced and
restricted identity, yet they were the sources of change in their culture by
taking risks and revealing their identity. Education and someone’s true identity,
characterized by bravery, courage, and determination are potentially the most powerful
change a young girl can experience in her life.</div>

After being at Loyola for almost three chile semester, I am understanding now why people say appreciate the time at school. Each week goes by so quickly that I can not believe how much I am learning and experience both on campus and in Baltimore. Since I am a biology major, it is no surprise that I feel the most vulnerable and weak in an English classroom. However, this class led to me to recognize a different side of myself. I really enjoyed the poems that we read throughout the semester. I was also shocked by how much a poem can say, without actually saying it. I now developed the ability to read a poem and figure out the meaning other then using the words on the page. Learning the techniques to analyze literature is definitely the most surprising thing that i developed all semester, and I really appreciate it. </div>

The
major theme throughout “twelfth night or what you will” written by William
Shakespeare was identity. It all started when Viola when she was saved by the
captain but, her brother Sebastian wasn’t found. She decided needed to find job
and provide by herself now. So she asked the captain if she could get a job. So
she got the job working for olive. So she had to cross dress and now everyone
in village called her/him Cesario. This caused lots of problem. This actually
caused a love triangle between three people. The main character Orisino was in
love with women that Cesario worked for. Her name was Olivia, Olivia loved
Cesario, and Viola (Cesario) loved Orisino. This is how the love triangle all
started. Another reason why a main theme of the book was identity each
character that that was high in social class talked differently to all the bums
in the village. <o:p></o:p></div>

I learned a lot of
things in my English 101 class. I developed better speaking skills when talking
in front of a lot people. I even learned how to analyze all the small things in
English and American Literature. My favorite thing I did this semester was
probably my presentation. I enjoyed finding information about Emily Dickinson and
then reading her poems about death. Then I figured why she always wrote about
death. It was because she was always by herself and she felt it was her time to
die. The past I went to see a play called “The importance of being Earnest”. I
went to the play not knowing what to expect from a play like that. I went there
with a couple of my friends. I thought it was going to be really bad. But, I
was completely wrong. It was very funny and some of my friends were in the play
and learn new things about them. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px; text-decoration: underline;">Twelfth Night</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">, by William Shakespeare, tells the story of a love triangle. The list of characters is very long. Since there are so many characters and story lines to explore, there are several themes to explore. The themes that are the most prevalent in </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px; text-decoration: underline;">Twelfth Night</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"> are mistaken identity, madness, and social standing.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Mistaken identity is prevalent throughout </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px; text-decoration: underline;">Twelfth Night</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">. Since Viola disguises herself as a man, her true identity is not known until the very end of the play. She is mistaken for her brother, Sebastian, and vice versa. When Cesario (Viola) is challenged to a duel by Sir Toby and Sir Andrew, they think Sebastian is Cesario. Olivia also thinks Sebastian is Cesario and asks her to marry him, thinking that he is Cesario. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Another theme that runs throughout the play is madness or insanity. Malvolio is a servant for Olivia who dreams of marrying her one day. He is known as the fun-crusher among the group of characters. Since he is constantly trying to spoil their fun, Maria plays a practical joke on him. She wants him to think that Olivia is in love with him, so she writes a fake letter that is supposedly from Olivia, but addressed to him. She tells him that if he wants to marry her, he should dress in yellow stockings and crossed garters, act crazy, and refuse to explain himself to anyone. Malvolio finds the letter and, since he dreams of marrying Olivia, does everything the letter instructs him to do. Olivia, who knows nothing about any of this, thinks he is mad.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Since Malvolio is supposedly mad, he is locked in a small, dark room. Maria, Sir Toby, and Feste torment him. Feste dresses up as a priest and pretends to examine him. Towards the end, Malvolio sends a letter to Olivia asking her to release him. By the end, once everybody discovers everyone else’s true identities, they remember Malvolio and let him out of the dark room. They come clean about the trick, but Malvolio doesn’t appreciate the joke. He runs off.</span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-indent: 36px;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-indent: 36px;"> Class and social standing is also a recurring theme in </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-decoration: underline; text-indent: 36px;">Twelfth Night</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-indent: 36px;">. Malvolio is obsessed with status, always condescending to the other servants for their lowliness and dreaming of marrying Olivia and becoming a Count. Sir Andrew also wants to marry Olivia, but stands no chance because of his vulgarity and crassness. In marrying Olivia, even the noble Sebastian is motivated by her wealth and social standing. Viola, at the beginning of the play, has lost her wealth in a shipwreck and in disguising herself as a man is impersonating a different class from her own. </span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-indent: 36px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-indent: 36px;"> All three of these themes – mistaken identity, madness, and social standing – are found in </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-decoration: underline; text-indent: 36px;"> Twelfth Night</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-indent: 36px;"> which was written several hundred years ago, but they are just as relevant today. I have volunteered at Our Daily Bread this semester and found these themes prevalent there as well. Mistaken identity has brought people to Our Daily Bread. They have clients who have spent time in prison for crimes that they didn’t commit. However, they never recovered from the stigma of the wrong accusation and have found themselves at Our Daily Bread. They have clients who are so depressed that they act mad. When I first started, one gentleman actually scared me because he was preaching loudly but wasn’t making any sense. Social standing is definitely witnessed there as well. Prior to volunteering, I thought I was in a different social class than many of the clients served at Our Daily Bread. Once I arrived, I realized that no one, client or volunteer, is any different when he or she walks through the doors there. I also realized that some of these clients may have had their roles reversed in society because of a misfortune.</span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-indent: 36px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-indent: 36px;"> The most interesting thing that I learned from this class is to not judge others based off of outside appearances. This theme came up in several of our readings, and I witnessed it firsthand while volunteering at Our Daily Bread. Even though I had been to Our Daily Bread before, I had little interaction with the clients. I went into doing service with a perception of the people that I was going to be serving food to. I was a little scared because of what I thought the people would be like. This time, however, I went into the experience with more of an open mind. Once I looked past the outside appearances, I realized that these people that I served were very kind and genuine. They had some of the most interesting stories and life lessons that I have ever heard. It has greatly benefited my life and I clearly had different thoughts before taking this English class this semester.</span></div>

Viola's(Cesario) identity change is fueled by her desire to cope with her ever changing surroundings and to blend with her new location. Duke Orsino fights with identity in regards to his emotional instability and differentiating views on what true love means. Through the Zen Meditation, we are encouraged to look deeply in ourselves to support the concept of our own identity. Being comfortable with who we are can further support us in our journey through life.<br />
When Viola is rescued from the shipwreck that separates her from her brother, she decides that she would be proactive rather than mourn the suspected death of her brother. She decides that it is necessary to change her identity and call herself Cesario because she did not want to be Viola. By doing this she sees things from a point of view that was not possible before. She is on the inside with the Duke. She becomes closer and closer with him, slowly falling for him while he falls more in love with the distant Olivia. While the correspondence between Olivia and the Duke only makes Olivia fall for Cesario. This complicated love triangle ultimately leads to chaos in Illyria. Viola can not truly find herself until her brother Sebastian comes to Illyria. That return of her brother ultimately gave her the ability to confess to the Duke and admit her love, ultimately accepting her identity as Viola. <br />
The Duke's struggle with identity is clearly seen from the beginning of Act One. He is unsure about his love for Olivia, stating that he seeks her love as his only desire. He then changes his mind believing that he does not love her. He is obsessed with the fact that she is the most beautiful girl in the kingdom of Illyria and he cannot see past that. When Olivia admits that she will need time to mourn for her brother the Duke seems to just move on. The Duke clearly struggles with his emotions.<br />
Through the practice of Zen Meditation we are encouraged to look into ourselves to discover our true self identity. In the meditation process I ponder different things about life and what has gotten me to this point. I think about what I would like to accomplish, and where I would like tot be at the climax of my college education. Thinking about things like these I believe is the first step to finding out who you truly are, and what your true identity is.<br />
This year in understanding literature the thing I found most interesting was the events learning process. Never before have I been able to take a class that encourages attendance at different school sponsored events that proved to be extremely interesting. The various lectures, readings, and speeches provided by the University have proved to be very entertaining and educational. I have gotten much out of these events and they have improved my college experience that much more.<br />

<div style="line-height: %; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> In
william Shakespeare’s play twelfth night, he paints us a narrative
of a hectic love triangle between a Duke, a woman dressed as a man,
and the beautiful Olivia. In the first half of the play, Shakespeare
describes how the Duke is in love with Olivia so he sends his squire
to tell her the affection he feels for her. Unknown to the Duke, the
squire he sends is really Viola, a woman who has lost everything and
is is truly in love with the Duke. Because Olivia is in love with
the Duke, she puts all of her emotion into convincing Olivia to be
with the him, and accidentally makes Olivia fall for her. After a
crazy turn of events and a few duels here and there, the truth comes
out and Viola explains to the Duke why she did what she did. The
Duke understands and admits that he loves her as well, allowing the
story to come to a somewhat happy ending. </span></span></span>

<div style="line-height: %; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: %; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> The
theme of identity is one that we talked about in Zen meditation
earlier in the semester, and it relates very well with Shakespeare’s
story. In meditation we explored who we truly are and that some
people don’t know how to express themselves so they act like
someone they are not. Although the characters in Twelfth night know
who they really are, they cant truly see what they are feeling and it
takes a dramatic turn of events to make it clear to them. </span></span></span>

favorite part about class this year has been going to the zen
meditation sessions, and learning how to relax my mind. I plan on
going to the sessions for the rest of the year because I don’t know
how I will feel not having my hour of relaxation every monday!</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid-678f7dd5-7884-bd2e-9cd3-48b692e3a7b0" style="line-height: 2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">In Twelfth Night or What You Will, the story is filled with confusion among the characters as a result of disguises, mistaken identities, and deceit. In the play The Importance of Being Earnest the result of such things are the same. Several lessons can be taken from the two plays that may also be found in some context within the bible, and as such part of Jesuit doctrine. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">In the Twelfth Night or What You Will, Viola in disguising herself causes many problems throughout the story. In the final three acts we begin to see the full extent of the effects of the ruse. While all works out in the end the deceit causes emotional harm to those around Viola. Antonio who has fallen in love with her brother Sebastian is heartbroken when he believes that Sebastian, who is really Viola, betrays him by stealing from him. Olivia also falls in love with Cesario, Viola’s disguise, and is hurt when she believes Cesario to be Sebastian who she had recently married. In The Importance of Being Earnest, Jack and Algernon also disguise themselves at different times and end up causing harm to those they love. Jack pretends to be a man named Earnest while he is in the city and falls in love with Gwendalin. Algernon pretends to be the same Earnest that Jack had created when visiting his home, Jack created the false person in order to escape the country when he pleased, and falls in love with Cecely. In both their cases the women find out and are disappointed with them. These examples serve to show us that we should not lie about ourselves because it may hurt us or others. Viola goes out of her way to avoid lying in words but in the deception she is essentially lying. The lesson to be learned is that you should be yourself to prevent things from being complicated and to prevent harming yourself or others. The bible says that one should not lie and while there are moral reasons for this the practical or secular ones are what the two stories focus on.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Another lesson that the stories can give is that it is a good thing to have a good sense of humor. In the Twelfth Night or What You Will, Feste, the fool constantly makes fun of the characters but the story also says the he is very intelligent for he can tell exactly what to say to someone to make them laugh. In his jesting he actually serves the purpose of drawing the characters attention to their own flaws so that they may mend them. In The Importance of Being Earnest, both Jack and Algernon make fun of the laypeople an example of how criticism should not be used. Here they criticise what they see as wrong with the people but it is not meant to be constructive toward them and they themselves are not going to do anything to help.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The most interesting thing that I have learned this semester in this class is that it is extremely important to reflect on the things in your everyday life. Through this reflection we can find ways that all things are interconnected. With this realization the opportunities to help ourselves and others increase dramatically. Knowing this we also may find it easier to learn things as we relate ideas together they form more permanent memories.</span></span> </div>

<o:p> <u>Acting in Plays or Real Life</u></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
In
Shakespeare’s tragedy, <i>Twelfth Night or, What You Will, </i>all characters encounter challenges with
identity. The play contains many characters that all have trouble finding
themselves and seem to be indecisive about many of their actions. This lack of
being able to find oneself is what I find myself thinking about when I attend
Loyola’s Zen meditation on campus. Whether its Viola crossdressing in order to
serve the Duke, Malovio putting on stockings because his love asks him too, or
the Duke not sure how he feels about love, all seem to have difficulty with
mistaking identities. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
Most of the characters
within Shakespeare’s play all struggle with the difficulty of discovering who
they really are. Viola, who finds herself in Illyria after a dreadful boat
crash, knows that she must find work in order to survive. As a result she finds
herself crossing dressing in order to work for the Duke. During this time it
was illegal for a women who were not married to work for or be in the Duke’s
presence. Viola calls herself Cesario, and forces herself to dress as a man and
become the Dukes most Loyola servant. Little does she know that she would fall
in love with the man she worked for, while trying to get the women he loves to
love him back. Disguising herself as a man only hurt her in the long run,
instead of choosing to show whom she really was. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
Malovio in the
Shakespeare play has trouble lightening up for the women he loves, Olivia. When
he reads a letter he believes is written from her, he decides that he must no
longer disguise himself. In hopes that this would help his love realize that he
is the man for her, he goes with the letter and puts on ridiculous clothing. He
decides that he should hide his feelings for her no longer and must stop
disguising himself and let it all out. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
Later on in the play
we see the Duke having trouble deciding his feelings towards love. At one
moment he is in love with the music and nature around him, then the next
moment, he is saying he has had enough it. It is very dramatic and shows how
indecisive he can be. Because he cannot make up his mind it confuses the people
around him, many think that he doesn’t know what he really wants, disguising
himself. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
In Zen Meditation at
Loyola, I found myself in a similar state, wondering whether or not others
think that I disguise myself. I wondered if other’s thought that I am
disguising myself in order for them to like me. Disguising myself for others is
not what I plan on doing when I meet them but sometimes I feel that maybe the way
I act is overly kind.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
Shakespeare’s poem, <i>Twelfth
Night or, What You Will, </i>and Zen meditation on Loyola’s campus, both
encompass the similar theme of others believing they are someone else. Whether it’s
the Duke, Viola/Cesario, Malovio or myself, each have found themselves in
situation where they can be seen as fake or hiding something to those around
them. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; text-indent: .5in;">
<u>True
Identities<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Shakespeare’s play <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Twelfth Night or What You Will</i> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">is a classic story
that focuses on the importance of identity. In the play the main character,
Viola, or also known as </span><span style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Cesario
uses two personalities to show that it is important to stay true to your
identity. On the other hand the Duke and Olivia are unsure of their identity,
and unlike Viola are not determined to do anything about it. In the first two
acts of the play Shakespeare introduces the different identities while in the
last three he focuses on each characters true identity. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Through my
first semester in college I have also learned a lot about my own identity
through personal reflection as well as Zen Meditation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Throughout the play Viola proves that she is
determined and compassionate. When Viola learns of her brothers “death” she
wastes no time and is motivated to work for the Duke and make a living for her
self. She goes through extreme measures and disguises her self as a man. By
becoming Cesario, Viola brings a new light to Illyria through her relationships
with the Duke and Olivia. Viola becomes someone the Duke can confide in and
truly be honest with. Because of Viola’s loyalty and respect for the Duke she agrees
to woo Olivia for the Duke although she herself loves the Duke. Viola’s
relationship with Olivia is also quite extraordinary. Shakespeare uses Viola’s
character to emphasis that it is important to stay true to yourself regardless
of the situation you are in. Although Viola switches identities she is the one
character who is most true to herself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Unlike Viola, Olivia and the Duke both have very
fickle personalities. In the first scene, the Duke shows that he is very
indecisive by first demanding to play the song and then all of a sudden
demanding for it to stop. This shows that Duke is not only uncertain about
little things like music but he is also unsure of his love for Olivia. </span>Shakespeare
shows that Duke is the one character who changes the most through the play,
because he finally forms an everlasting bond with Viola, something he has never
done before. Likewise Olivia shows that she can be swayed very easily. She
starts off saying that she does not want to see anyone for the next seven years
and would like to spend those years mourning; however when she meets Cesario
she quickly changes her mind. We can learn from these two characters that it is
imperative to be sure of your identity and to be confident. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
As the semester has gone by I have
had a lot of time to reflect on whom I am. During Zen mediation Dr. Davis
encourages us to free our selves from all worries and just thinking about way
we can improve ourselves. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Twelfth Night
or What You Will </i>has also shown me that our identity is the one thing we
have complete control over and we should take advantage of that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In addition to zen meditation, this class has
really helped shape my first semester at Loyola. I particularly liked the transportation
assignment because it required us to become familiar with our surroundings and
be aware by using public transportation. It was interesting to see how all the
works of literature not only relate to each other but also relate to the
community around us.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
As
I read through Shakespeare’s <i>Twelfth
Night</i>, I see the consistent theme of finding one’s self through various
music, objects, fashion, and dialogue. I figured this would be extremely
difficult to discuss simply because I have no other works to compare it to. As
this week drug on, I was stuck pondering this paper and how I would do it.
Tuesday night, I found myself in a cultural event for my Latin 103 course and
what was the topic you might ask? Identity in the ancient world, which is a key
term we touched on in class and I picked up as I read through the acts. Each
person’s identity is dependent on their own actions and interests, yet in
ancient world, they cared little about this than we do today. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
For
example, in <i>Twelfth Night</i>, the
dialogue and way each specific character speaks is a key indicator on who they
are. My main example is Sir Toby. His sloppier choice of words reflects on his
sloppy personality, which Shakespeare obviously wanted us to pick up on in
order to get a 3<sup>rd</sup> person perspective on each character without
directly saying it. On the contrary to this point, other characters speak more
elegantly, much like they do in a romantic language thus alluding to their
romantic persona. Another example of classification by identity is through
music. We can tell the character is melodramatic through one simple act. As the
song plays, he enjoys. As the song plays a second time, he enjoys again. After
the 3<sup>rd</sup> playing, he can take no more. He reacts in a dramatic
fashion as if he had just suddenly relived the pain of a sudden heartbreak.
This is another key to access the character’s identity that Shakespeare uses.
It is said that to determine whom a person truly is, you must see how they fair
when dealing with adversity. As her
brother’s death was causing her to mourn, Olivia denied the love of Orsino and
Sir Andrew. This would seem reasonable if her brother hadn’t been deceased for
several years already. This is another indicator on how immature and irrational
she is. This could be a sign of dramatics much like I touched on before in my
previous point. It also hurts her credibility in ethical fortitude when Viola
shows how strong she can handle adversity even after it had just passed. Her
life was made up of things she had done for herself. She stood her ground and
fended for herself with no excuses, unlike Olivia. Not only is she mentally strong but also she
is soulfully strong because she disregards her love for Orsino and persuades
his love to love him back against her true feelings. This goes to show how
truly power and strong Viola is as a person. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
These
variables that each character can determine for themselves are much related to
what I heard from my event about ancient identity. Of course, one’s identity in
the ancient world was shifted by their heritage. The lecture went deeper. It
went on to say how each individual back then was raised differently based on
ancient economic classes, which were much more obviously different than we see
today. One thing remained, however these people grew up, their culture, their
dress, their ancestors, and most of all, their wealth and reason for attaining
it shaped them. In this play, I questioned to myself, “why don’t these
characters just be upfront and open, thus confronting other characters about
their true identity and actions? “ It would seemingly make things much easier
if everyone saw each other for which they were, good or bad. This is where the event aided me. In ancient
world, people didn’t look at identity as we do today. They certainly weren’t as
judgmental. They saw people as strictly the being in front of their eyes and
nothing deeper. Identity to us is different than identity is to someone living
in the time of Shakespeare’s day.</div>

What is
Identity?</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="page-break-inside: avoid; widows: 129;">
<span style="font-style: normal;"> William
Shakespeare presents a conflict over identity and growth in </span><i>Twelfth
Night, or What You Will.</i><span style="font-style: normal;"> In
Viola's struggle to survive she loses her identity and even her
gender. The indecisiveness of Olivia and Orsino creates a standstill
until Viola intervenes. Malvolio is so blinded by his self obsession
that he is tricked into manipulating his own identity. </span><i>Twelfth
Night, or What You Will </i><span style="font-style: normal;">by
William Shakespeare tells a tail of the struggle to maintain ones
identity and character through hardship and conflict.</span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="page-break-inside: avoid; widows: 129;">
<span style="font-style: normal;"> Viola
is the protagonist and she is shipwrecked on an island during which
she loses her brother and all her belongings so she must disguise
herself as a man to survive. “Conceal me what I am, and be my
aid”(Shakespeare 4). Viola decides to take up an alias as a man
named Cesario so that she can get a job working for Orsino since
Olivia will not take any new workers because she is in mourning. When
disguised as Cesario, Viola brings a message of love to Olivia from
Orsino and proves to her what true love is not by Orsino's definition
but by her definition. Viola expresses a love that shows true
affection unlike the stagnant love of Orsino. This act by Viola
changes Olivia's view of love and reveals the emotions of Viola. This
helps her maintain her identity even though she had to struggle
through change. The ones that persevere have the most solid identity.
</span>
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="page-break-inside: avoid; widows: 129;">
<span style="font-style: normal;"> Olivia
is a wealthy noble woman and Orsino is a wealthy noble man trying to
court her but he is denied because Olivia is mourning for her
brother. Orsino is indecisive and an over dramatic romantic while
Olivia is also extremely over dramatic and obsessive. “If music be
the food of love play on…That strain again! It had a dying
fall…Enough; no more”(Shakespeare 1). At the very opening of the
play we are shown how Orsino can not make his mind up about what he
wants. He is so sure that at first that he wants to hear the music
and then he must hear the music again but then sharp and suddenly he
does not want to hear anymore. Olivia will not let any men court her
because she is mourning her brother's death. “The element itself,
till seven years' heat, Shall not behold her face at ample
view”(Shakespeare 2). Olivia is so dramatic she will not even come
out to let the sun see her face for seven years of mourning she
claims. Viola shows Olivia that she need not mourn so long for her
brother and she shows her what true love is and Olivia ends up
married happily to Sebastian. Viola also shows Orsino what true love
is and they end up married. If one does not change and take their own
true identity then disaster will follow. </span>
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="page-break-inside: avoid; widows: 129;">
<span style="font-style: normal;"> Malvolio
is efficient and self righteous steward to Olivia and he is tricked
because he does not know his true self. Sir Toby, Sir Andrew, and
Maria trick Malvolio because they do not like his strict and uptight
attitude. They give him a letter that makes Malvolio think Olivia
loves him, however the letter tells him to do some strange things to
prove it. “I will be strange, stout, in yellow stockings, and
cross-gartered, even with the swiftness of putting on”(Shakespeare
33). Malvolio makes himself into a complete idiot and buffoon. He
dresses in high yellow socks and a strange dress and acts very
strange towards Olivia thinking that she loves him. Eventually Olivia
becomes so creeped out by Malvolio that he is thrown into a dark
room. Malvolio losses his identity and disaster follows because
nothing good ever happens when you are not yourself. </span>
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="page-break-inside: avoid; widows: 129;">
<span style="font-style: normal;"> The
struggle to find and keep one's identity is a major reoccurring theme
in </span><i>Twelfth Night, or What You Will</i><span style="font-style: normal;">
by William Shakespeare.</span><i> </i><span style="font-style: normal;">Viola
losses and then regains her identity through perseverance and
honesty. Olivia and Orsino overcome there indecisiveness and dramatic
attitude because of Viola's loyalty. Due to his strictness and self
righteousness, Malvolio is tricked into changing his identity to the
complete opposite of his normal state. </span>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">The
theme of identity is woven throughout all of Shakespeare’s play, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Twelfth Night</i>. The main characters in
the play struggle with their identity and act differently than who they truly
are. However, Viola, dressed as her brother under the name Cesario, is the only
one to physically wear a disguise. Duke Orsino’s identity is also questionable,
but for a different reason. Viola dresses as her brother, Sebastian, whom she
presumed to be dead, and used the name Cesario after being ship wrecked and
alone in a foreign land, Illyria. Duke’s identity is questioned is a different
way. He is emotionally unstable and his emotions raise the question if he is
truly in love with Olivia or not. Both of these characters’ identities are hidden
under a façade, however they are hidden in two very different ways. Throughout
my Zen Meditation this semester, something I was always told to focus on while
Meditating was letting go of all the extraneous things in life, and connect
with, my true identity. Shakespeare’s play, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Twelfth
Night</i>, and my Zen Meditation illuminate the constant struggle one faces of
finding your own identity.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Although
Viola’s intentions of her disguise were to help her situation, it lead to the
main conflict in the play and the love triangle that was formed. While working
for Orsino, Viola fell in love with him, and Olivia fell in love with Viola,
still disguised as Cesario; and throughout this Orsino was still in love with
Olivia. Viola was able to keep true to herself throughout the play; however, changing
her identity causes havoc between the characters. While Viola, disguised as
Cesario, was talking to Olivia in hopes of getting her to love Orsino, she did
not allow herself to let her mission escape her. Viola said to Olivia, “By
innocence I swear, and by my youth, / I have one heart, one bosom and one
truth, / And that no woman has; nor never none / Shall mistress be of it, save
I alone. / And so adieu, good madam: never more / Will I my waster’s tears to
you deplore” (Shakespeare III.II p.38-39). She understands her job was to make
Olivia love Orsino and she tried her very best to make this happen even though
she was in love with Orsino; a very noble and honorable thing to do. Here Viola
stayed true to herself even though she was the one wearing the physical disguise
in the play. Viola was a strong woman who was very sure of herself. She did not
let the disguise alter her true identity, however the disguise complicated the
situation immensely because of the love triangle that was formed. Also, Viola
was the only one to ever express true love in the beginning of the book. All of
the other characters simply viewed love as something just physical, while Viola
is able to comprehend and allude to true love when talking to Olivia about
Orsino’s love for her. Shakespeare’s message was that changing one’s identity
never benefits them in the long run, and everyone should stay true to who they
are no matter what situation they find themselves in. While Viola wore a
disguise on the outside, inside she was able to stay true to her identity, the
same cannot be said about Orsino.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Duke
Orsino was a very emotional character when dealing with his love for Olivia,
which makes one question if his love was pure or not. He was very overdramatic
and attempted to woo Olivia through the actions of others, labeling himself as
a coward. In the beginning of the play Orsino said, “If music be the food of
love, play on; /…That strain again! it had a dying fall: /…Enough; no more: / ’T
is not so sweet now as it was before” (I.I p.1). At first he loved the music
that is being played for him, and then all of the sudden he abhorred the sound
of it. Here Orsino’s unstable emotions going back and forth are exemplified. He
was a romantic; he was in love with Olivia after just laying eyes on her once.
However, one comes to find he was more in love with the idea of Olivia, than
Olivia herself. So, this called his love into question. He did not have a
strong identity and was not sure of himself, and hid behind a façade, which was
ironic because Viola was the one wearing the physical disguise. He sent Viola,
dressed as Cesario, to Olivia’s house to give her his messages proclaiming his
love. Since he was unable to do this himself, shows he was hiding behind a
disguise and was not sure of his identity; he was a coward throughout the play.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">This
theme of identity, which Shakespeare threads throughout all of, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Twelfth Night</i> is directly related to
today’s society and the Zen Meditation I have attended all semester. During my
Zen Meditation we try to have all of our worries and thoughts escape our minds
and solely focus on breathing and counting. Doing this, we attempt to find our
true identity, and not be changed by those around us. Often times in today’s
society there is a temptation to conform to stereotypes or pressures around
you, however, the Zen Meditation strips you from all of that and leaves you
with who you truly are, and your core values. Being a first year college
student it was definitely a struggle to stay true to my identity while also
trying to make friends at a college I know no one at. However my Zen Meditation
was extremely helpful in reminding me of what is important to me in my life and
keeping my identity in tact while going through such a big transition. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">This
class was filled with many exciting surprises to me throughout the semester.
However, the most surprising thing I observed while taking the class was how
open everyone was in their blogs, iExamens, and even in class discussions! Connecting
pieces of literature to personal experiences helped deepen the conversations we
had and doing so, we were able to get very close as a class and have exciting
thoughtful conversations each time we met. So, overall the most interesting
thing I observed was everyone’s willingness and enthusiasm to share and
contribute to the class as a whole. In all of my other classes the teacher has
to beg people to raise their hand and give input to a topic, however, because
of the structure of this class, people were always willing and eager to share. </span></div>

<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Twelfth Night, or What You Will </i>by
William Shakespeare is about a love triangle that occurs when Viola dresses as
Cesario and begins to work for the Duke of Illyria. The Duke loves Olivia,
Olivia loves Cesario, and Viola/Cesario loves the Duke. During Acts III, IV and
V, the characters realize who they love and showing who they truly are on the
inside. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
In the second half
of the play, many events take place that causes the storyline to turn chaotic,
such as a duel between Viola (who is dressed as Cesario) and Sir Andrew, and
the marriage between Olivia and Sebastian (who is thought to be Cesario). Meanwhile,
poor Malvolio is trapped in a dark room and is thought to be insane. After all
of the craziness dies down, the truth comes out and the characters’ worlds are
set straight once again.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>In
Zen Meditation, one can look deeper into oneself and see who they truly are and
how they truly feel. Meditation is a time when you can sit and reflect on your
life and your choices. Although I find it hard to stay focused in meditation,
this week I found myself thinking about who I am and how my life is going. I
realized that I am very happy at Loyola as well as with the people I’ve met. I
can see that I am growing up and becoming a more mature adult. Once you know
who you truly are, you can show other people, and you will be happier and life
will feel more fulfilling. <o:p></o:p></div>

Once Viola tells
the Duke who she really is, he realizes that he loves her too. He forgets about
his infatuation with Olivia and focuses on his true love, Viola. Likewise, once
Olivia finds out that Cesario is actually Viola, she realizes that she loves
Sebastian, not Cesario.<br />
<br />The most interesting/surprising thing that I learned in class this semester was while I was doing the Transportation Assignment. It was eye opening to me to see how a true Baltimore citizen travels around the city. I am from a suburban town in Massachusetts, so I don't have the ability to take public transportation to get around. The only type of public transportation I've ever taken is a cab. It was interesting to learn how to take the bus by watching other people around me. When I finished the assignment, I felt like I had learned a lot about peoples' ways of life.<o:p></o:p></div>

Everything
Is Not What It Seems<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
In William
Shakespeare’s play, “Twelfth Night or, What You Will” there are many themes
that can be seem throughout.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of the
many themes that are established in the play is the theme of confused
identities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The idea of confused
identities causes much confusion and leads into madness and total chaos.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are many factors that go into changing
a person’s identity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of the main
aspects that may add to one’s change in identity is their appearance and type
of clothing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A change of identity and
playing tricks on others with the use of identity is able to cause much
confusion that will eventually lead to insanity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Twelfth Night or, What You Will” can relate
to Zen Meditation, since one meditates and reflects on themselves and others
around them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
In Acts III to
Acts V, it is very clear that Olivia is madly in love with Cesario, not knowing
that “he” is actually Viola pretending to be a man.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Viola, on the other hand, has fallen in love
with Orsino, but is not able to tell him, due to the fact that she has changed
her identity as being Cesario.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although
Oliva has not fallen in love with Orsino, she has seemed to stop mourning about
her brother, with the help of “Cesario.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Orsino, Olivia and “Cesario” or Viola are alike in a sense, since they
have all fallen in love with someone who rejects them, but they still want to
make sure the significant other does not love them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Orsino, later on, discovers that Cesario is
actually Viola, and questions if he really fell in love with Viola or with
“masculinity” when she was dressed as a man.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Also, Olivia marries Sebastian, mistaking him for “Cesario.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sebastian becomes confused, but finds it
fascinating people “know” him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is
another scene of mistaken identity, and causes Sebastian to question what is
real or a possible dream.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
In the end,
Viola and Sebastian find one another and after many questions, believe to have
finally found their “lost” sibling, who was thought to be dead. Orsino, Viola,
Sebastian and Olivia have seemed to accept the reality of what has happened and
continued with their lives together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After all the mistaken identities have been restored, Orsino agrees to
have a double wedding, marrying Viola, while Sebastian marries Olivia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It seems that in the end, they do not truly
know what love is, since they all Orsino married Viola and Sebastian married
Olivia, possibly based on their appearance or thought of appearance
before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
Shakespeare’s
play “Twelfth Night or, What You Will” can relate to Zen Meditation with the
clear theme of mistaken or confused identities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>During meditation, one is able to clear their mind, and they are able to
establish one’s true identity and observe our own thoughts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While meditation we can search for our true
meaning and reflect on our personal lives. In the play, the characters were not
truly able to understand the chaos that was happening, but meditation helps
find who you are as a person and in the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
As Christmas
Break becomes closer and there are only a few weeks before the semester is
over, I have learned so many useful things that I will be able to take with be
throughout my four years at Loyola.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
surprised to learn that although many poems and stories may discuss many
different topics, there is a possibility that all of them can be connected with
a few central ideas or thoughts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was
also surprised at how different Zen Meditation was from anything I have
attended in the past, although it was very relaxing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Meditation truly made reflect on my life here
at Loyola, as well as helping me distress from all things that may happen
during the weeks leading up to the next Monday for another meditation session. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Throughout
William Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” the characters are constantly struggling
with their own identity. The two main characters that struggle with identity
are the Duke and Viola/Cesario. The Duke’s struggle with identity comes from
his emotional instability. Viola’s identity issue on the other hand comes from
her willingness to change everything she is. Identity is a theme that we have
focused on heavily in Zen Meditation. From the first meditation to this last on
I attended finding yourself and who you really are was the primary reason for
meditating. The characters of “Twelfth Night” and I share the commonality of
finding our true identity and figuring out the person we want to be.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The
Duke of Illyria more formally known as Orsino is one of the characters that
struggle with identity the most. Right from the beginning of the play, we see
his instability with his emotions. While he tries to tell us that he is in love
with Olivia we as readers/listeners become skeptical based on his inability to
adequately express his emotions. He struggles with the way he feels about
everything. It is not only his emotions towards the one he supposedly loves but
also with things like music. He says “If music be the food of love, play on;…
That strain again! It had a dying fall:… Enough; no more: ‘T is not so sweet
now as it was before”(Shakespeare 1). He goes from completely adoring and
loving the music that is playing and asking for it to be played again and again
to never wanting to hear it again. His indecisiveness carries over to his love
for Olivia. When Olivia exclaims that she needs seven years to heal after her
brother’s death in order to love again and Orsino is completely okay with it.
He also does not face his emotions head on. He constantly has messengers
expressing his emotions to Olivia; his newest messenger being Cesario aka
Viola. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Viola’s
struggle with identity is one she creates for herself. When she is rescued by
the Captain after a shipwreck she decides it is time for her to recreate who
she is. By pretending to be a man, Viola gets the opportunity to see life in a
different perspective. Without money or knowing anyone in Illyria this is easy
for Viola to do. Viola’s decision to cross dress shows that she is struggling with
her own identity. Not many decide to cross dress unless they have identity
issues that they are trying to deal with. Her changing her identity also brings
about many issues. While Viola is in love with Orsino, Olivia is in love with
Cesario aka Viola. This identity issue that Viola is struggling with brings
about all kind of problems for everyone involved in the situation. Throughout
the play Viola finally discovers whom she is when her twin brother Sebastian
comes to Illyria. She can finally show who she really is to Orsino who in turn
decides to marry Viola. Her identity issues were because she thought her
brother had died but when he came back into the picture, Viola knew who she
really was. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>When
I first started Zen Meditation, we were told that by the end of the semester that
we would find ourselves. This week in meditation I focused a lot on myself
considering the semester is coming to an end. I have developed in a different
person since being here on campus. I have not fully developed into the person I
want to be but know the kind of person I want to be. Meditation has helped me
with this because it gives me time to reflect on everything that has happened
during my day and past week. Identity is an important thing in life because
without knowing who you are you cannot be the person you really want to be.
Meditation has helped me decide on the identity I want to uphold throughout my
life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

this semester I have learned a lot not only from this class but also from my
meditation experience. Meditation is not something I would usually do. The
decision to do meditation is one of the best decisions I made all semester. It
helped me reflect on life and everything that has happened. Like in “Twelfth
Night” identity is a big issue in everyone’s life. The way in which the
characters in “Twelfth Night” handled their identity issues are an inspiration
along with meditation. Meditation was a way for me to find and develop myself
into the person I want to be. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Interwoven
Themes Connect from Beginning to End</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Shakespeare’s
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Twelfth Night</i> comically incorporates
themes of misguided identity as well as love through colossal misunderstanding
and confusion within every characters relationship. Shakespeare portrays an array
of characters from the dramatic Duke and Olivia to the sensible Viola. These
characters often act like foils to each other opening each character towards
their progression between acts all while incorporating the main themes of the
play. This comical play develops its character through the woven themes as well
as through their foil characters to unmask the secrecies hidden by Viola and
many other characters.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Misguided
as well as mistaken identity serves to be on of the main themes for <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Twelfth Night</i>. Although it appears only
Viola is dressed up in a full disguise, Olivia uses a veil to cover herself,
and even Malvolio portrays himself in a manner unfit for his identity. These
misguided costumes change the way that many of the characters act and feel about
one another and once they are revealed to be just costumes opinion is swayed
once again. Mistaken identity takes place mostly when Sebastian arrives in
Illyria as he is mistaken for Cesario, which causes extreme chaos. Ironically
Sebastian is one of the only characters who does not hide behind a façade and
is one of the only to be mistaken for another identity. Cesario, who Viola is
disguised as, is the reason behind Sebastian’s chaos in Illyria. Malvolio is
also mistaken as a madman because of his misguided impulses that are lead by
the prank between Maria and Sir Toby. Yet despite Viola being the only
character that completely fools other in her appearance she seems to be the one
most accepted when she reveals who she is. It is also Viola’s character, who
serves as a foil for both the Duke and Olivia, that we are able to unmask what
really lies beneath each other these dramatic characters. Her disguise,
Cesario, ironically opens up the previous shut off to genuine emotion on behalf
of not only Olivia but also Duke. It seems that not only Viola’s disguise
helped unmask these identities but also the development of the nature of love
that is established between these three characters throughout the play. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The
nature of love seems to progress from a fickle love to genuine through the acts
and development of characters. At first glance we see the Duke who claims to be
in love with Olivia being fickle in his choice to embrace it. He claims that
she is his great love yet makes no real effort to prove it to her and sends
servants, such as Cesario, to woe her instead. It is through the Duke’s command
to Cesario that orders her to woe Olivia on his behalf that the first glimpse
of genuine love is seen however, it is not Olivia’s feelings for Duke but
actually Viola’s. The Duke does not ever seem to grow any genuine love for
Olivia but it is made aware he is capable of such feeling through his words and
interactions with Cesario. He has given his soul to Cesario-something he seems
incapable of doing for Olivia. There is also a change in Olivia’s opinion
regarding love when she falls listens to Cesarios way of wooing a woman, that
of whom she is unaware that she is a man. This small speech given by Cesario,
which is actually speaking of what Viola would do, allows Viola to unveil
herself and become open to love. Her ideology towards love has evolved just
with a few words that show her development as a character through the theme of
love. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even the bitter and dark Malvolio
changes his mood and attitude when he finds the letter he believes to be
written by Olivia. Love seems to have an evolving effect on the characters in
the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Twelfth Night </i>and plays into not
only the dramatics of the story but also the comical aspects. </div>

<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Both
themes contribute to the changing circumstances as well as the changing
personas of the characters. The constant weaving of each theme throughout each
act and scene allows readers to see a connection between the beginning and end
that allow for all the loose ends to be tied during the final act. The connections
displaced from the beginning of the play until the end remind me of the
connection my body and mind take during meditation practices. Just how
different events in the characters lives permit them to change and evolve into
different personas so does the evaluation of my life during meditation. It
allows me to center myself and gain perspective on the situation just as when
the characters of the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Twelfth Night</i>
are enlightened in various aspects not only by the reveal of Olivia but also
through the presence of Cesario. Through this class I have gained such a
perspective that there is such an ability to connect everything you read in
literature to everything you do in real life. Through class discussion I was
able to see the array of opinions and intelligence of my classmates that
inspired me to do my work and to participate in school lectures, meditation,
and events. </div>
