By Abraham, The United States

"Wow, this really surprised me. I have read some Shakespeare, yes, but strangely enough this is my first Shakespearean comedy. I was expecting it to me much drier, a string of esoteric jokes that have little foothold on the average modern mind.

I was right to a point -- a few jokes flew right over my head, even with the annotations -- but I was totally unprepared for the bawdiness, the goofiness, the insanity. Some examples: the letter to Malvolio from Maria and friends, and of course the "quarrel" between Sir Andrew and "Cesario" -- that last pair of quotes contains yet another goofy plot line. You, the onlooker, will watch a succession of ill-advised love interests. And you, the onlooker, will discover that Olivia doesn't much care for yellow stockings at all!

As for Feste, the clown, well I think he's just great, my favourite character of the play and perhaps all of Shakespeare (that I've read). His "witty" wordplay -- that usually ends up in a ridiculous mess -- just tickles me all kinds of pink.

I can't wait to see this performed on stage."

"The main characters in the story are Viola, Olivia, Duke Orsino, Sir Toby Belch, Malvolio, Sir Andrew Aguecheek, Feste and Sebastion.Sir Toby Belch wwas Oliva's uncle. Malvolio was Oliva's butler. He was tricked by Sir Toby Belch, Sir Andrew Aguecheek, Feste and Maria through a lover letter that oliva loved him. And he did ridiculous thing that the letter instructed him to do and he was considered crazy and sent away for a while.

This book is abut a rich countess named Oliva whose brother had died and she made a desided to morn for him for seven years. She then fell in love with Orsino's page Cersario who was a woman named Viola who was apart of a shipwreck. She thought that her brother sebastian had died in the wreck. She took love messages to and from the Duke (Orsino) and Oliva. In the end everyone knew the truth. Viola was reunited with her brother. Viola married the Duke Orsino and Oliva married Viola's brother. And everyone got what they desired.

I enjoyed reading book it is really interesting and touching."

By Caitlyn, Lancaster, PA

"Absolutely hysterical and filled with laughs, blunders, and outrageous insanity as only Shakespeare can provide. William Shakespeare creates a beloved heroine in Viola, who, shipwrecked in a strange land and under the illusion her brother has gone down with the ship, takes residence under the assumed identity of Cesario (in other words, cross-dresses in order to obtain protection and residence) in the household of the Duke of Orsino. You see, Orsino is in love with the fair, delicate lady Olivia, who, in mourning of her father and brother, will see no one and hear nothing of the Duke's courtings. Desperate, Orsino sends Cesario (Viola) between them to carry out his suits, and in the process, Olivia falls for Cesario. Meanwhile, Viola's brother roams the province alive, and Olivia's household turns topsy-turvey when Malvolio, under the false impression Olivia loves HIM, dresses up and struts about in attempts to win her commitment. As with any Shakespearean comedy, by the third act everything is in utter and hysterical chaos- I could not stop laughing. And it carries out a happy ending as charming and heartwarming as any modern chick flick. If you are one to appreciate the poetry of Shakespeare, you will love this play. I enjoyed every line!"

By Alli, Toronto, Canada

"A wonderfully magical comedy; charming, witty, and bawdy, Twelfth Night is a Shakespearean masterpiece and a must read for all those who truly consider themselves readers or dramatists. It's a simple story, told simply, and is without a lot of the complexities that some of other Shakespearean comedies have. The ending is fairly clear, although Violet being in drag does seem to stall things and put a slight damper on having a final conclusion, and the characters are unique individuals.

The driving force of this play is all about sex and love; all the characters have some sort of crush on someone, and Shakespeare, in typical fashion, manages to make these sentiments both sentimental and sexual at the same time. The only true complexity of the play is the numerous references to homosexuality, which was of course condemned in Tudor England. Many have read this play as Shakespeare making some sort of statement; after all, Orsino was pretty keen on Violet, even when she was in drag, and Antonio was very clearly in love with Sebastian. These sorts of relationships aren't totally uncommon throughout the body of Shakespeare's works, but I'm not completely convinced he was making some sort of statement. Rather, this play is highly meta-theatrical, and I think these complex relationships are a play on that.

As females were prohibited from acting in Tudor England, young males always played the female leads. Thus, in creating Twelfth Night, Shakespeare is creating the very inverse of the theatrical customs and further poking fun at the complications that arise from it. Consequently, Violet is played by a male actor in female drag, who is in turn in male drag. As I personally love metafiction, Twelfth Night is essentially the Holy Grail of my study.

More than that, it's just sheer entertaining. Shakespeare pokes fun at every convention of love and courtship in the main story line, and provides a very humorous side story concerning Feste and Malvolio. The reference to Chaucer was very much appreciated, as well.

Overall, it's a hysterical play, and one that must be seen to be fully appreciated. Nonetheless, if you don't have the chance to actually see it, I'd highly recommend giving it a good read through."
