In the preface of Twelfth Night, it is said that Twelfth Night has another subtitle "Whatever you want", which means that if readers think the title of the play is not appropriate enough, please change it according to your wishes. It feels quite interesting.
? In the play, Olivia's housekeeper, Malfurion, seems to be an annoying character. He is a ghost puritan, capricious, ingratiating himself with others, a pretentious "donkey", ordinary and confident ... But personally, I still have some feelings about Malfurion's certain characteristics, at least he knows what he wants from beginning to end, and he is bent on climbing. His hidden ambitions in his dreams have formed his own life goals. How happy it is to have firm goals and ideals, at least people can indulge in their own world and wander freely.
After searching on the Internet, Twelfth Night was named after a traditional festival in the West, and the last night in the Christian Christmas holiday was Twelfth Night, which was the epiphany on January 6th. However, there is nothing related to this festival or Christmas in the whole script. In Elizabethan England, Epiphany has evolved into a carnival day, so the title of Twelfth Night may imply a carnival world divorced from reality. Any bizarre events do not need a reasonable explanation, and all unreasonable endings can be established. For example, at the beginning of the story, Olivia said firmly that she had been in mourning for her father and brother for seven years, and had never married or seen an outsider for seven years. She fell in love with Viola as soon as she saw her. Ossino thought Viola was a footman just a few minutes ago, but she immediately accepted her wearing men's clothes and decided to marry him.
These behaviors seem unreasonable, but I think they are wonderful. After all, love is a human emotion after all, and since it is a human activity, there must be some human weaknesses hidden.
