Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" is one of his more popular romantic
comedies. Filled with loads of
dramatic irony, this is the
story of Viola, a woman in love with the Duke of
Illyria. In order to become close to her man, she sports men's
clothing and gets a
job among the
royals.
Olivia, a rich countess, is meanwhile trying to win over the Duke herself. Ironically, she later falls for Viola after meeting her (in men's clothing).
The ending is a happy one... Viola's long-lost brother Sebastian surfaces in the town, and after much mistaken identity between the two, Olivia decides to get involved with her brother instead. Viola, meanwhile, gets the Duke for herself.
This is a must-read for all you drama nuts ;)
