The Characters – Twelfth Night
By William Shakespeare.
Viola
I am Viola 🌊, shipwrecked on the shores of Illyria. Disguising myself as a young man named Cesario 🎭, I serve Duke Orsino and fall in love with him 💕. I must navigate the complexities of my disguise, especially as Olivia falls for Cesario. My twin brother, Sebastian, is also in Illyria, and our eventual reunion clears up the confusion caused by my disguise 😵.
Duke Orsino
I am Duke Orsino 💌, deeply in love with Lady Olivia. My passion for her is poetic and all-consuming 🎼. I send my new page, Cesario, to convey my feelings, unaware that Cesario is actually Viola in disguise. My pursuit of Olivia blinds me to Cesario’s true identity and growing feelings for me, leading to unexpected discoveries. 😲
Olivia
“I am Olivia 😢, a noblewoman mourning my brother’s death. Despite my vow to avoid romance, I find myself enchanted by Cesario 💕, unaware that Cesario is actually Viola in disguise. My pursuit of Cesario leads to comedic confusion, especially when I mistakenly marry Sebastian, Viola’s twin brother 😲.
Sebastian
I am Sebastian 🌊, Viola’s twin brother. Shipwrecked in Illyria and presumed dead, my sudden appearance adds to the chaos. I am saved by Antonio and eventually mistaken for Cesario, leading to an unexpected marriage with Olivia 😵. Reuniting with Viola brings clarity and joy 🎉.
Malvolio
I am Malvolio 📜, steward to Lady Olivia. Ambitious and self-righteous 😏, I am tricked into believing Olivia loves me through a fake letter, leading to my humiliation and temporary madness 😵💫. My dignity is restored, but the experience leaves me bitter and vengeful 😡.
Maria
I am Maria 😈, Olivia’s clever and mischievous maid. I orchestrate the prank on Malvolio to humble his arrogance 😂. My wit and schemes bring laughter but also unintended consequences when Malvolio’s humiliation goes too far. My relationship with Sir Toby adds to the household’s lively dynamics 🎉.
Sir Toby Belch
I am Sir Toby Belch 🍻, Olivia’s fun-loving uncle. I enjoy drinking and revelry 🎉, often at others’ expense. I take part in the prank on Malvolio for amusement, enjoying the chaos it creates. My friendship with Sir Andrew and romance with Maria add to the household’s mischief 😈.
Sir Andrew Aguecheek
I am Sir Andrew Aguecheek 🤡, a foolish knight and Sir Toby’s friend. My attempts to woo Olivia are futile 💕, and I am often the butt of jokes. Despite my efforts, I am easily manipulated and end up looking ridiculous 😅.
Feste
I am Feste 🎭, Olivia’s witty fool. My cleverness and songs provide insight and entertainment 🧠. I observe and comment on the actions of others, often highlighting the absurdity of their situations. My role is to bring wisdom and humor to the household 🎶.
Antonio
