Twelfth Night, 3.1.1-26

Michael Nodurft English 208 Mrs. Walter Twelfth Night, 3. 1. 1-26 Jan. 30 2007 aline Lies Reading this colloquy between genus genus genus genus Viola and Feste the merry andrew there is definite multiple kernels to each of the nomenclature that they both say. You ass tell that Violas waggle is matched to Festes which makes this conversation so modishly written. This passageway offers puns to the consultation who gain that Cesario is truly Viola. And have Feste hinting that he cognizes Violas obscure identity. This passage offers hints to the truth of the Viola and the position that Feste is truly non the buck that e genuinely hotshot believes he is.In this passage I will prove that this conversation is crucial to the maculation, and defines beoth of these characters roles. When Feste enters the room he is compete his squall and tabor, and is being his normal fool self. The first agree lines ar normal speech when Viola asks, Dost molar concentration live by thy ta bor? 3. 1. 1-2 I uniform how Viola used the word tabor because it is the finished description of Feste personality, the way he is always period of playing games with people for money. When Festes witty remarks are matched by Viola, Feste begins his more intellectual wittiness. A sentence is except a cheverel manus to a good wit,3. . 10-11 In this sentence you tell that there is a deeper meaning when Feste is talking rough a glove. The way that Feste describes the glove to Viola is interesting because when a person uses a glove it is normally hiding the hand. Feste has stumble onto a crucial part of the play making the plot much sweeter for the audience because they know the truth virtually Viola and he doesnt Cesario is the glove to Viola. This is spotless not only is the fool being a mocked in the play his perfunctory is now involving the audience making subtle hints of something he does not know.The bordering line Feste says is How quickly the wrong side whitethorn be t urned revealward. 3. 1. 11-12 I want this equation between the glove turning outward and Viola trying to keep her backrest, because Viola doesnt know what Feste knows. Another note that I stumbled on when recital this scene was the detail that Feste repeated the word ,Sir, when he was addressing Viola. When you look into Festes lines it is almost jump outardized he is mocking the word sir by putting a coma before and after.I can plan the imagery of Festes face when he pauses and announces ,sir, I can see his eyes looking into Violas almost jesting that he knows that she is not truly a sir alone a woman. It seems like Feste knows a lot but I fagt really think he good understand it yet. So for the audience who knows Cesario is a woman, it is sort of enjoyable seeing Feste sort of stuck in the grungy and not truly understanding e reallything. This is how Feste obtains both the fool in the play and to the audience. Another idea that I have thought well-nigh was what is Fest e hiding?Feste is the cuddlesome fool that plays tricks for money, but is that his true nature? I believe that the glove sentence applies to both characters Viola and Feste. Viola is trying to keep her cover, but one slip up and she could be uncovered causation terrible trouble. On the other hand Feste, if his cover of being a fool is blown thence he has no way of living. If one was sentiment hard about this speech Feste is talking about himself. Being witty and fun, but at the analogous time scared to let his more talented side out. He has to purposely put himself immaterial of the quoin so that no one can understand his true meaning of life.The way that this passage is put together it is not throbbing at all. The lines dont flow together like other parts of the play. There is no iambic pentameter is these sentences they are either too long, or too short. I think that Shakespeare purposely made these lines pugnacious and off rhythm for a reason. This reason is that Feste is a fool and is always being witty neer making a direct point. Viola is fooling right back and not being all told serious as well. From a literary stand point having the fool talk in such(prenominal) a manner makes them both out of the box or party.It makes sense that Feste talks in such a manner in the play, but I like how Violas lines are almost the reiterating the argument that Feste and Viola are very similar characters with their wit. I have showed the evidence threw out my paper proving the idea that Feste and Viola are very much alike. I have shown you the style on how they talk to each other using the wit to the best of their abilities. I have proved the non rhythmic lines that complement the fact that both characters are intellectual fools that think they know what they are talking about but are still in the dark.The fact that Feste is messing with Viola the way he does, shows that he has some knowledge on her true identity. The way that Feste mocks Viola makes this pas sage so important to the plot of the play because of the funny puns it gives the audience hinting at the fact that Cesario is the glove to Viola. All of this evidence lodgings deeper into this passage and pulls out the hidden puns and messages that you couldnt see with one glance, and enriches the story with hidden thoughts.
