Shakespeare's Twelfth night

Book • 1602
Set in the kingdom of Illyria, 'Twelfth Night' follows the shipwrecked Viola, who disguises herself as a man named Cesario to serve Duke Orsino.

Orsino is in love with the noblewoman Olivia, who is mourning her brother and refuses suitors.

Through a series of comic misunderstandings, Olivia falls for Cesario (Viola), while Viola herself falls for Orsino.

The arrival of Viola's twin brother, Sebastian, leads to further confusion and mistaken identities, culminating in a joyful reunion and multiple marriages.

The play explores themes of love, gender, and social class, ending with the traditional revelry of the Twelfth Night festival.
