Shakespeare, W. (2000). Twelfth night.

Book Review of Shakespeare, W. (2000). Twelfth night.

Viola and Sebastian are twin brother and sister. They did pretty much everything together; they nearly died together – in fact, Viola thinks that Sebastian is dead.

Viola liked dressing up as Sebastian and one day she decided to do that and called herself Cesario; she got a job working for Orisno, the duke who is in love with Olivia, a countess.

One day, the duke asked Cesario (or Viola whatever you want to call her ) to ask Olivia to marry him. Cesario gives Olivia a ring from Orisno, but Olivia refuses to marry him. Malvolio changes her mind.

However, Olivia then begins to fall in love with Cesario, because as she thinks Cesario is a man.

Orisno tells Cesario to give Olivia another present. On the way back from Olivia’s house, Cesario meets one of Olivia’s uncle’s friends who wants to fight Cesario – I think this might be because he thinks Cesario is really Sebastian.

There’s a lot of confusion about who is who – it’s very funny and there’s a happy ending.

I like this book as it’s easy to read and it’s a good way for children, like me, to start reading Shakespeare because it’s not written in the normal Shakespearean language.
