Contemplation Question 7:

1.I believe there is no difference bbetween how men and how women love. There only seems to be a difference because men have differe views than women and vice versa.

 

This is a work in progress…

Contemplation Question 5:

Filed under: Uncategorized — talkalot @ 9:53 pm

I believe I am not a Malvolio or a Toby when it comes to parties. I love parties but I am a HORRIBLE dancer and so spend the entire time sitting on my rump, listening to the music.

Feste is a very skilled singer and so he knows how to keep his songs with the mood of the person listening. He manages to tell things and to complement sentences from other people whilst singing and keeping in rhyme.

I find the line “I think his soul is in hell, Madonna”(1.5 56) funny because of how it shows utter disrespect for Olivia.

Contemplation Question 4:

I believe Feste has been in Olivia’s household for quite a while as he seems to know he to talk to anybody in the house. Feste is a carefree fool because people like him that way; he is the type of person who can turn any bad situation into a good or fun one and he seems to like that. Feste has a brain and he uses it quite often, saying wise things (1.5 4-5). If I were a Hollywood director I would dress Feste in a clown costume because it says in the script hew is a clown. Feste does not move a lot but when he does it is because of a reason (he does not walk or stand up much). If I were the director I would have Feste trying to keep up with Olivia who is trying to walk away from him.

Contemplation Question 2

My first impressions of Olivia:

She seems to be pretty, but very self-centered. She does not keep to the promises that she makes and so instead of mourning her brother for seven years like she said, she falls in love with Viola ( or as Olivia and duke Orsino now her; Cesario). This she does after rejecting a marriage offer from duke Orsino. She is a land lord and so does not need to work; she just needs to collect the taxes. Olivia has a group of cleaners and other house workers who are given orders by Malvolio. Malvolio is well treated by Olivia but this does not stop him from being bossy with his workers.

 

My first impressions of Orsino:

Orsino is duke, and so just like Olivia his only job is to collect taxes. He seems to be madly in love with Olivia. He is also madly in love of love itself… Being afraid of telling his feelings towards Olivia himself, he sends Cesario (Viola) to get the message through.  But Olivia explains that she is in mourning for her dead brother and that she will stay nthis way for the next seven years. To add to all of this Olivia falls in love with Cesario( Viola).

 

My first impressions of Viola:

Viola is a girl who worked on a ship with her twin brother. When the ship crashed her and her brother were separated. She washed ashore on the coast of Illyria and with the help of the captain passed herself as a castrated guy. She did this to get a job. She got a job as Orsino’s messenger. She seems to love Orsino. She is the person Olivia loves. In all Viola seems to be the character in twelfth night that messes everything up.

Contemplation Question 1:

Are there any holidays that, in your experience, are connected with carefree fun and merry-making?  What are they?  Write about a holiday, or a time, when you were inordinately silly.

                In My opinion the holiday where you are most carefree and merrymaking is April fools day because this holiday is made for jokes and pranks. Usually you would buy a glass with a hole in the top so water will pour out of the hole, or maybe put whoopee cushions on chairs and plenty of stuff like that.

                I believe the holiday where I am the most careless is Christmas. Each Christmas I go to Uruguay and in Uruguay you celebrate Christmas with fire-crackers. I usually buy hundreds of small ones and I blow many of them in the back yard. I use them for pranks and I put them under people chairs and I put them on their path to scare them… It is very fun for me but my parents don’t like it much for reasons I believe everyone understands. Near the house there is a sand beach with dunes and it is very fun to make castles and blow them up. This year I plan to reshape the dunes…
