Twelfth Night: or, What You Will (Shakespeare, Signet Classic)

Twelfth Night: or, What You Will (Shakespeare, Signet Classic)

Set in a topsy-turvy world like a holiday revel, this comedy devises a romantic plot around separated twins, misplaced passions, and mistaken identity. Juxtaposed to it is the satirical story of a self-deluded steward who dreams of becoming â€œCount Malvolioâ€ only to receive his comeuppance at the hands of the merrymakers he wishes to suppress. The two plots combine to create a farce touched with melancholy, mixed throughout with seductively beautiful explorations on the themes of love and time, and the play ends, not with laughter, but with a clownâ€™s sad song.
