Today’S Technology Allows One To Make Friends On The Opposite

Picture this, kids are sitting around a table on their devices,not saying a word to each other. Today's society is replacing friends with technology. "Is Technology Killing Our Friendships?" states that people are constantly checking their virtual world and not interacting with each other. It also states they are spending too much time online and mistaking real friendships for online

Malvolio’s easy acceptance of this and quick transformation from stiff servant to yellow stocking wearing “puritan” heightens his foolishness, as it was unheard of in Victorian times for Mistresses of the house to marry stewards and vice versa. This would immediately create comic effect for Victorian audiences as they would view his ambition as futile. “To for my kinsman Toby.” The extent of Malvolio’s fantasy is illustrated here by his unwanted familiarity with Sir Toby. The lack of punctuation in this quick declaration, creates a rushed tone of glee reminiscent of an adolescent and uncharacteristic of Malvolio who had previously been depicted as conservative and stiff. The use of repetition in addressing Sir Toby as family is again shown when he calls him “Cousin Toby” this cycle of familiarity shows the desperate tone that Malvolio adopts in trying to marry Olivia as he has completely deluded himself into thinking that he has already transcended social hierachy, and the repetition serves to illustrate how fast Malvolio falls into his fantasies. This transformation succeeds in creating confusion as to Malvolio’s true nature as he had previously been described as “puritan” however, seems to be displaying none of the typical

For instance, when he finds the love letter that is supposedly written by Olivia, confessing her love for him, and telling him to smile, wear yellow stockings and go cross-gartered, he says, “I will smile, I will do every thing that thou wilt have me.” (2, 5, 165-6). He thinks the letter is from countess Olivia, who he is in love with, and believes that the greatness of being her husband is about to be given to him. Before finding the letter, he wanders around in Olivia’s garden and dreams about himself “To be Count Malvolio!” (2, 5, 32). He imagines how the other characters of the play would serve him, which again shows that Malvolio thinks he stands above everyone. In addition, when Malvolio is hailed by Olivia, he arrives smiling, wearing yellow stockings and cross-gartered, which makes Olivia think he has gone insane: “Why, this is very midsummer madness.” (3, 4, 51). Consequently, in this part of the play Malvolio’s inside does not match his outside. Throughout the play he is a grave character, that detests other persons having fun, so his actions of smiling and wearing strange dress make him look like a madman, which is why he gets locked up in Olivia’s basement. Towards the end, he returns to his initial manner, and declares that he will “be reveng’d on the whole pack of you!”, referring to the characters that tricked him into believing that the letter was

Another example of deception is when Maria, Olivia's servant writes a letter to Malvolio, Olivia's head servant and Maria's coworker. Maria deceives Malvolio by writing in Olivia's handwriting. In the letter she says that Olivia loves men in yellow stockings. "Remember who commended thy yellow stockings, and wished to see thee ever cross-gartered" (2.5. 143-145). Maria knows that Malvolio will follow this ridiculous deed because of this love for his lady Olivia. Sir Toby Belch says, "He shall think by the letters that thou wilt drop that they come from my niece, and that she's in love with him" (2.3. 154-156). Maria places the letter in her garden where Malvolio will definitely find it. Thinking Olivia will fall in love with him because of his clothing, Malvolio dress up in yellow stockings and goes to see Olivia. When Olivia sees Malvolio and the way he is acting, she isolates him for fear that he is insane.

Although Viola faced a lot of confusion and conflicts she was equipped to handle this because she was mostly causing it by cross dressing and lying about who she truly was. But, Maria, Sir Toby and Sir Andres, servants to Olivia, all decided to play practical jokes on Molvolio. By giving Molvolio a note and disguising it to look like Olivia’s hand writing, they caused Molvolio to make a fool of himself. The note left him directions to behave and dress a certain, this caused ignominious Molvolio to become confused. By being deceitful and conspiring, Sir Toby, Maria, and Sir Andrews colors shined through. Not to mention, Molvolio’s true self became evident after misidentifying the letter. Molvolio became arrogant and was filled with self-importance, but when things became clear and Molvolio discovered the note was not written from Olivia he became embarrassed. He could not move forward, forgive and forget, so he left. This is how misidentification can cause conflicts and cause character’s true selves to shine

In the play “Twelfth Night”, Malvolio is a steward for Lady Olivia. He’s very in love with her and only she has to deal with it. On the other hand, Olivia is plainly not in love with him; she is in love with Cesario. He tries everything to try and win her love but he also has a negative attitude towards others. Malvolio’s behavior is unacceptable and other people shouldn’t have to deal with it.

He wants to rise out of his social class through the love of Olivia. Knowing this, Maria forges a letter that seems to offer hope to Malvolio’s ambitions. As soon as he finds Maria’s forged letter, he completely goes against his Puritan philosophy and undergoes his first transformation through self-delusion. He starts strolling around in yellow stockings and cross garters, thinking that he will please Olivia and get what he has always wanted. Malvolio looks ridiculous in these scenes, adding humour and the element of comedy to the play. Essentially, he lets his ambitions overcome his senses and does foolish things in order to get the attention of Olivia, which entertains the

Malvolio is a social climber, he feels that if Olivia would love him his status would be higher. But because of

Next up is the power that Malvolio was given by Olivia. After Malvolio attempted to break up Sir Toby, Sir Andrew, and Maria’s fun, they began to plot against him. Malvolio however, was simply trying to keep order in Olivia’s house. Olivia has given Malvolio a position of some power in her house. Judging from different parts of the story and by Olivia’s position as a countess it is safe to assume that being in charge of the affairs of Olivia’s household was no small task. She was obviously wealthy and had a large house with many servants and for Olivia to try and manage all of those things on her own would be a very difficult task, but also a task that she couldn’t trust to just anyone. She obviously trusted Malvolio with running the affairs of her house. Sean Benson touches on this point and argues that, “As Olivia’s steward, Malvolio is in control of the domestic affairs of her household; if he were as inept as […] others have thought, how has he risen to this important managerial

Malvolio?s conceitedness was broken and then he sees that he did not truly love Olivia, but was only flattered that he had been loved by someone so beautiful and young.

He is seen as a natural fool because he believes he can cross the boundaries and marry Olivia. This would never be accepted by society as Malvolio is of the lower class whilst Olivia is of the upper. After being tricked by Maria, Sir Toby and Sir Andrew, Malvolio believes that Olivia is in love with him and when approached by Olivia, she asks ‘Smilst thou? I sent thee upon a sad occasion’. Olivia seems to be confused as to why Malvolio is portraying strange behaviour.

Because of his rude and bossy actions Maria, Toby, Feste, Andrew, and Fabian made an evil plan. They planned to trick him and make a fool out of the steward. By making him think Olivia loves him and that he is a madman, they would sure get their revenge. Maria first wrote a letter to Malvolio playing as Olivia. The letter is a love poem to Malvolio, claiming she loves him but wishes to keep it a secret.

In the later part of the play a different side of him is exposed. Malvolio is Olivia’s steward and his job is to manage Olivia’s house; he is her chief servant. It’s a very responsible job that he takes very seriously. He enjoys telling people what to do.

Since the introduction of the World Wide Web and mainstream use of the internet to access information in 1990, the way people interact with each other has changed. Social media has opened up new mediums for people to communicate with each other. People exchange messages on Facebook, post tweets on Twitter, and “selfies” on Instagram. These new mediums have also changed the way people find romance and love. In this modern era, it is not uncommon to see people dating other people they have met on the internet. This has opened the door for “catfishing”, lying about your true identity on the internet in order to lure someone into a relationship. This has become so common that Molly McHugh of digitaltrends.com4 has described it as an epidemic. This essay will explore how catfishing has developed with the introduction of social media, why people catfish, and why talking over the internet makes it difficult to spot when someone is presenting a false identity. It will also identify the impacts that catfishing has had on society.

Through the play each character’s behavior is changed. The biggest change in behavior was that of Malvolio who began to believe in his own delusion. This delusion made him believe that the fair Lady Olivia loved him. His delusional state got him locked up in a shackles and isolated. This state of mind is an effect of love for him. Then the Lady Olivia’s behavior when she is not in love is a melancholy state. She had just lost her brother and her
