The torture many people receive for a reason varying reasons. Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare presents a prank by five characters; Maria, Sir Toby Belch, Sir Andrew Aguecheek, Fabian and Feste, that easily twists into bullying Malvolio. “Shakespeare gives the latest strategy in anti-bulling in schools” by The Denver Post shows how much bullying relates to the real world and Twelfth Night. Malvolio, the steward of Olivia, the noble woman of Illyria, always gets Sir Toby, Sir Andrew, Maria, Feste and Fabian into trouble for many different reasons and their anger leads to a prank fooling Malvolio with an epistle that Olivia loves him and that to show his love he need to wear yellow as the sun stockings with black as night cross guarders up them, live openly mean to Sir Toby, walk around smiling and not mention anything about the epistle, this leads Maria and Sir Toby to lock him up in a dark room and make him go crazy. The thesis and matches the background knowledge because bullying takes place in both the play and the real world. Bullying in Twelfth Night and in the real life stay the same, the epistle works as a form of cyber bulling today, verbal, and physical bullying plays a role that works the same as Twelfth Night as the real, modern world too.
To begin, cyber bullying comes in many forms, texts or letters they both relate to each other when it comes to cyber bullying they both mistake each other as tiny gold fish but their results and impact occur more bigger like
In Twelfth Night, Shakespeare contradicts vapid stereotypes about gender. Through Viola’s disguise as Cesario, he is able to prove that a woman is able to fulfill a man 's role in society. She is able to fool the other characters and is even able to woo another woman. This reinforces ideas about how invalid the rules and regulations society has made since Viola easily broke through them. Later on in the story, Sir Andrew challenges Viola to a duel. Viola expects Sir Andrew to be a great fighter, and he expects the same from her. This creates a comedic situation since they both are too afraid of each other to engage in the fight. (3.4, 223-298)
Bullying is seen and unseen, noticed by others and unnoticed, it’s a problem not just in our little communities, towns, cities or states but all over our country, bullying is a worldwide problem.

Cyberbullies can attack anyone more than normal because the bully doesn’t see the effect of the bullying. As “What is Cyberbullying states”, “The lack of immediate emotional feedback in cyberbullying allows an aggressor to often continue the hurtful behaviors unchecked.” This can lead to even more hurtful comments than a normal bullying situation.
In our time today, there are many types of "bullying", but the one type I believe can be the worse and the one I will be discussing will be “Cyber bullying.” Cyber Bullying is an action when people either get together or by themselves purposely threaten or harass another kid through social media, such as Twitter or Facebook. The use of smart phones makes this action so easy to do and we can't really do anything to stop it from happening. These people can go and tweet about something any part of the day.

Bullying has been around since the beginning of time. Parents may remember when they were kids and the bully would pick on them or their friends by stealing lunch money or just getting beat up, and that was the end of it. The victims remember the hurt, frustration, and sadness it caused. However, these days, bullying is not just happening on the playground or at the bus stop, it is happening on the Internet and on cell phones, making it possible to bully a child 24 hours a day with multiple bullies and thousands of kids watching. Cyberbullying follows children nonstop and into the safety of their house. Sometimes kids are afraid to inform their parents about the cyberbullying that they will think its there fault. Or that their parents will call the bullies parents or other parents, making the bullying worse. However, the effect and pain that comes from cyberbullying is real. People underestimate cyberbullying, just because it is happening online and not in person. Cyberbullying can lead to many different factors like drinking, and drugs, poor grades, depression, eating disorders. Many students have even taken their own lives because of another student saying something to them online. Cyberbullying has been taking place a lot more in middle and high schools because of the increased usage of social media networks and technology. Cyberbullying is worse and more harmful than traditional bullying.
Bullying is described as the ongoing physical or emotional victimization of a person by another person or group of people. Cyber-bullying is an emerging problem in which people use social media and texting, to harass and cause emotional harm to their victims.
Egotism has the ability to cloud one’s moral judgement and can therefore affect not only the individual, but an entire community as well. William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night introduces how deceit and trickery can cause a person to be so concerned with themselves, that they become oblivious to the consequences that can arise from their actions. Malvolio, a trusted and loyal servant to the Lady Olivia, falls victim to the jokes of others in the household due to his serious approach to life and opinion that there is no time for fun. Because of the jokes and mockery, he becomes preoccupied with winning the affection of Olivia and begins to hold himself in the highest esteem, making him unaware of the conflicts around him. Malvolio’s self-absorption
The first major type of bullying is physical. "The kids were becoming targets at school-- Eric and Shawn were getting harassed for special treatment, or what the other kids perceived as special treatment " (Busby 167). During this section of the book, the kids are just going back to school and the other kids are jealous of the new treatment Eric and Shawn have. They are getting into fights because the kids will not leave them alone. This shows how the physical form of bullying can have a negative influence because it makes the kids feel non-normal and weird. Next, verbal bullying is also very common. "'Because somebody wants to kill her!' he said, pointing at me. Then he whispered,"Maybe they'll come to school and shoot you, too, that's why the cop is here"' (Busby 135). This little boy verbally bullies Cylin because of the situation she is put in with her dad. The boy doesn't regard her feeling, but makes fun of her for his own amusement. This causes Cylin to have a negative outlook on the situation. Lastly, cyber bullying is one more form of bullying. "Cyberbullying messages and images can be posted anonymously and distributed quickly to a very wide audience. It can be difficult and sometimes impossible to trace the source”(“What Is Cyberbullying”). Cyber bullying is different from the other two because it is not face-to-face. This can make the bullying process much easier; however, the Internet
The results of cyber bullying is very unpredictable as it can go from the victim just shrugging it off to the very extreme with is that the victim taking their own life.
Since retaliation can make the victim into the bully, it is often times a cyberbully can be the victim of in-person bullying. Cyberbullying helps them deal with their low self-esteem and help them try to fit in. On the opposite side of the spectrum the other type of person who is likely to bully are popular kids or teenagers. Their reasons are likely to stay feeling popular and powerful
William Shakespeare is known as one of the best writers of all times, by granting audiences from around the world access to his exquisite works. In his specific play, Twelfth Night, he presents a comedic play for the audience to enjoy and laugh. Interestingly, there are instances when the characters from different social classes come together. For instance, at the end of the story a maid by the name of Maria gets married to Sir. Toby. Even though these two are of different social classes, they manage to get along quite successfully. Not only does this couple overcome social barriers, but other characters in the play as well. Shakespeare’s reasoning behind Twelfth Night, derive from political and social views of how society functions.
Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night is a play with themes that parallel the folly of the festival it is named after. The main storyline of the plot plays on this a lot by mixing up the stereotypes around gender that were very present at the time. However, a sub-plot involving secondary characters defines this theme even more. It takes the idea even further by relating servants’ attempts to blur the lines between social classes. Twelfth Night’s Maria and Malvolio both have great aspirations to rise above their social class. However, Maria succeeds where Malvolio fails because of her capability to make use of the satiric ambiance of her mistress’s household to achieve her goals.
Cyber bullying is quite different from the old traditional bullying. The traditional bullying has a combination of physical abuse, verbal abuse, and emotional abuse. While in cyber bullying it would just be emotional and verbal abuse because the person being bullied doesn’t get physically hurt. The traditional bullying would be face to face usually on school grounds during the school day, and it would have a smaller audience. Cyber bullying is at school and at home, all day, everyday either by the form of a text message, or chat room, or on social networking websites, and it has a large audience, for example if somebody posted on your wall on facebook everybody can see it and then people will comment and it will be a lot of people.
