Twelfth Night

Acts 4 and 5Slide2

Feste

comes across Sebastian (who he thinks is

Cesario) and tires to bring him to Oliva. However, Sebastian is confused because he doesn’t know this person.Toby and Sir Andrew enter Andrew thinks that Sebastian is Cesario (the guy he was about to duel a few minutes before) and he attacks him. (Remember Cesario walked off when “he” heard Antonio call him Sebastian)But Sebastian, unlike Viola, is a trained fighter, and starts to beat Sir Andrew with his dagger.

Act 4, Scene 1Slide3

Sir Andrew cries for mercy.

Sebastian thinks he’s surrounded by madmen and decides to leave.

Sir Toby (still thinking he’s Cesario) stops him, they insult each other, and prepare to fight.Olivia enters and sees Sir Toby preparing to fight the person who she thinks is Cesario. She yells at Toby, sends him away, and begs Sebastian (who she thinks is Cesario) to come into her house with her. Sebastian is confused, but sees no reason to walk away from a beautiful woman, so he goes with her.Act 4, Scene 1Slide4

Malvolio

has been locked up in the dark room and is very upset

Maria asks Feste to pretend to be a priest named Sir Topas, while she and Toby listen in and laugh.Malvolio, who cannot see Feste inside his prison tells the priest (Feste) that he is not insane and begs to be set free.But Feste deliberately misunderstands him and says he’s really in a room full of bright windows and if he can’t see them, he must be crazy.Malvolio tries to get the priest to question him so he can prove his sanity, but Feste

(using a fake voice) continues to twist his words.Sir Topas

(

Feste

) tells

Malvolio he’s definitely crazy and he must stay locked up. Feste then leaves.

Act 4, Scene 2Slide5

Sir Toby and Maria enjoy the joke, but

are also getting tired of it.

Toby worries that Olivia, who already is annoyed by his drunkeness, will figure out the prank and be very angry.They send Feste back to Malvolio, where Feste speaks (using both his own voice and the fake voice of Sir Topas) as if they are both talking to MalvolioMalvolio swears he isn’t crazy, and begs for paper, ink, and light with which to write a letter to Olivia. Feste promises to fetch him the items

. He leaves.

Act 4, Scene 2Slide6

Meanwhile (in the same house),

Sebastian is

walking around, confused, but very happy. A beautiful woman—Olivia—has been giving him gifts and wants to marry him. He wishes he could find Antonio to discuss the situation with him, but when he went back to their inn, Antonio was not there. Olivia finds Sebastian (and has brought a priest) She proposes to Sebastian (who she still thinks is Cesario). Much to Olivia’s delight, Sebastian happily agrees, and they go off and get married.Act 4, Scene 3Slide7

Orsino

arrives at Olivia’s house, accompanied by Viola (still disguised as Cesario) and his men. The police show up looking for Orsino and dragging Antonio. Orsino, recognizes Antonio as his worthy enemy, but questions why he would come to Illyria, knowing it would be dangerous for him.Antonio tells the story of his rescue and befriending of Sebastian.He lashes out at Cesario (still thinking he’s Sebastian) claiming that Sebastian has stolen his money and has pretended not to know him. Cesario and Orsino

are stunned and confused by his story.

Act 5, Scene 1 Slide8

Olivia

arrives

and speaks to Cesario as though he is her husband (She has just married Sebastian a few minutes ago)Orsino is outraged, thinking that his dear friend Cesario has stabbed him in the back by marrying his love interest. Cesario, feeling helpless, denies what Olivia has claimed and prepares to go to her death, saying only that she loves Orsino.Olivia is shocked and hurt. She believes that her new husband is denying he married her. She calls in the priest, who (mistaking Cesario

for Sebastian), confirms that he has just married these two Orsino is devastated by both Olivia’s rejection and

Cesario’s

betryal

.He tells the pair he doesn’t want to see either of them ever again.
