William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, or What You Will is a comedy about a cross-dressing, ship-wreck surviving, poetry-loving girl who finds herself at the center of a not-so-average love triangle.

Twelfth Night, one of the best of Shakespeare’s mature comedies, is a play of lovers and their wooing. This play exemplifies various aspects of love: its sweetness, transitoriness, folly, and importance. It depicts various types of love: the melancholic love of Duke Orsino, hopelessly in love with love itself; the mourning love of Olivia for her dead brother; the mistaken love of the arrogant, humorless Malvolio; the true love of Viola for her master. The Elizabethan audience, like audiences today, confronted themselves in characters who experience self-deception, deceit, illusion, and reality—all in the name of love. Structurally, the play is an example of excellent workmanship with both the main plot and subplot superbly planned, embodying a variety of lively incidents. The characters, sharply drawn and completely formed, have in turn their moments on the stage, with no one overshadowing anyone else.
