Description
Twelfth Night is a comedy of mistaken identities and unrequited love, with a dash of farce and wit. The main plot revolves around the complex relationships between two women, Olivia and Viola, who are both attracted to the same man, and the hilarious sub-plot involving the vain and foolish Malvolio. As the story unfolds, the characters' identities are constantly blurred, leading to a series of comedic misunderstandings and unexpected twists. Meanwhile, the comic sub-plot provides a lighthearted contrast to the more serious themes of love, identity, and social status. Edited, introduced and annotated by Cedric Watts, this edition of Twelfth Night offers a carefully reappraised text that takes account of recent scholarship.
