What this book is about
Shakespeare's romantic comedy follows Viola, shipwrecked and disguised as a man, as she serves the Duke Orsino who loves the Countess Olivia who falls for Viola — while Viola loves the Duke. The confusion of gender and identity, the cruelty done to Malvolio, and the brilliance of Feste's wit all make Twelfth Night one of Shakespeare's most rewarding comedies.
