Twelfth Night/Societal Expectations
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page essay that examines certain aspects of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. The writer argues that on the surface, Viola may seem to be a woman capable of determining her own fate. Stranded in a foreign land, she does not hesitate to assume a male identity in order to acquire employment and relative safety. However, even this intelligent, capable woman is bound by expectations of Elizabethan society. As this suggests, examination of this play shows that each character, in his or her own manner, is bound by the restrictions of society and within these boundaries, which define the context of social life, they have no control over their ultimate fate.
