Twelfth_Night

Twelfth Night In "Twelfth Night" William Shakespeare has many relationships that grow all through the play. The most important relationship of these is that of Viola and Orsino. The interaction these characters have is the reason for the complicated conflicts of the play. As the conflict unfolds throughout the play the two characters become friends and lovers rather than the strangers they started as. In the first Act Viola and Orsino's are two complete strangers. In order to get close to Orsino, Viola isn’t honest with him from the beginning and disguises herself as a male page known as Cesario. Because of this, Orsino trust Viola and ends up sending “Cesario” to announce his love for Olivia. “O, then unfold the passion of my love. / Surprise her with discourse of my faith.” (Act I, 5, 36-27) The fact that Orsino was able to trust Cesario so quickly is the first example of their relationship growing. This growth is proof of their relationship going from stranger to friend. “He hath known u but three days, and already you are no stranger.” (Act I, 5, 2-4) In the second act, their relationship begins a new phase.
