Task	Findings	Line Numbers
Search for COMPARISONS your character uses. Choose several that particularly chime with your character’s personality. Summarize them or quote them.	Orsino says to Viola “Women are as roses” because their “fair flower, being once display’d, doth fall that very hour.” This quote means that women’s beauty disappears fast.	930-935
Find a passage that is thick with words that suggest a certain CATEGORY. Name the category and list the words that fit in it.	Orsino’s dialog suggests love, Orsino says many things about love, one of them being,”if ever though shalt love” and “For such as I am all true lovers are.”	900-910
Look for lines with a strong sense of DRAMATIC IRONY, lines where the audience knows more than one of the characters.	The audience knows more than the characters when Cesario (Viola) is telling Orsino about who she loves, this is shown when Orsino asks Cesario, “what kind of women is’t,” to which Cesario replies,”of your complexion.” This dialog means that Viola is saying that the person she loves is like him, which the audience finds funny because she loves him, he just doesn’t know it.	912-92
Consider how your character refers to himself. What style of SELF CHARACHTERIZATION is it?	Orsino characterizes himself as a lover and thinks he is the true example of one, this is shown when he says,” Come hither, boy: if ever thou shalt love, in the sweet pangs of it remember me; for such as I am all true lovers are, unstaid and skittish in all motions else, save in the constant image of the creature that is beloved.”	904-909

1. I think that men and women feel love in the same way. I think that men and women love each other equally, not that one loves one more than the other just because of their gender. I do not think that if men talk more they love the women any less.

In the beginning of the play, we are introduced to Orsino and it is obvious that he is in love with someone that doesn't love him. It also seems like he is drunk by the way he responds to Curio. When Valentine enters, she brings Orsino the news that the woman he loves will not be ready to love him for at least 7 years, because of her brother's recent death.

In scene two, Viola is introduced to the audience and it is shown that she has been shipwrecked in Illyria with the rest of the crew. Viola then asks who governs Illyria, which is Orsino, who she falls in love with while pretending to be his young messenger boy, but Orsino loves Olivia not her.       

This play takes place in Illyria, a fantasy world. In the Twelfth Night, there is a love triangle involving Viola, Olivia, and the Orsino. Orsino is in love with Olivia, Olivia loves Viola who is dressed as a man as a disguise, and Viola loves Orsino, but is disguised as his messenger boy. The name Twelfth Night is a reference to christmas and the twelve days that follow. When Viola talks about Olivia falling in love with her, she is stating how easy it is for a woman to fall in love and become attached even though she isn't really a man. I think it is true that the wrong people can "set their forms" in the hearts of both men and women. Olivia's confused attraction shows that both characters are having a rough time and are confused about life. In closing I think this play will be interesting and i look forward to reading it.
