Join Nicholas Koy Santillo, Levi Morger, Will McKay, Isabel Karp, Samantha Blinn & Ariana Karp as we conclude our discussion of Twelfth Night with Act V.
- Does Orsino revert to the ‘courtly love’ language once Cesario becomes Viola?
- Is Cesario’s power of truth lost when converted to Viola?
- Orsino becoming unhinged in the last scene and his jealousy of Olivia’s affection for Cesario
- Shakespeare and the challenges of the final scene
- Twelfth Night as unique in that no one character has all the information going into the final scene
- The possibility of the twins reunion as initially terrifying for Viola, who thinks Sebastian is a “spirit”
- Sensory overload from the beginning turning to the mind being overwhelmed
- Actors as society’s allowed fools
