Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare
"Twelfth Night" by William Shakespeare is a romantic comedy written around 1601–1602. When twins Viola and Sebastian are separated by shipwreck, Viola disguises herself as a young man and enters the Duke's service. A tangled love triangle emerges: Viola loves the Duke, who loves Countess Olivia, who falls for Viola's male disguise. Meanwhile, a comic subplot unfolds as conspirators trick Olivia's pompous steward into believing she loves him, leading to chaos and
confusion until identities are finally revealed. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
