It's a comedy! It's got errors! It's a comedy of errors!
This is Shakespeare's comedy of crossdressing. I thought it was hilarious. This movie version is the 1996 one, and it's really good.

"That's ridiculous, no girl could be *that* in love with me."
Self burn.
me on a daily basis
it's actually more about misogyny. He thinks women are just inherently not able to love the way he "loves" Olivia.
@@DemiDragonQueen accurate, but since I'm actually studying the play lemme specify. He specifically says that their hearts lack retention and they simply can't endure the beating that love gives him and that their love is more appetite and easily satiable. He also takes the chance to compare his passion and love like the ocean in all its vast infiniteness and instatiability
@@yourpalbryan1442 I studied the play too, I just didn't think it was worth going into detail over. Thanks for elaborating tho ~~
Those are rare
"'I DONT LIKE GIRLS!!!" "Smoothly done,'" i love it
i wonder what the actual dialogue was lol
Fun Fact: Everyone at my school thought I had a crush on this one guy (even though I didn't) and contemplated telling people that I'm gay to keep them to stop. A few months later I realized that I'm bi.
@@snakewithapen5489 it was actually much more serious than what red is making it seem to be, like they have a full argument and then she confesses in a very dramatic way by swearing on the roses of spring and stuff like that and viola/cesario rejects her confession with an equally as dramatic reply using tricolon to emphasize a singular totality that she is governed by no lover and no one but her own her heart (ironic cuz she loves orsino) and it ends with Olivia asking him to come back by saying maybe she'll be convinced to like orsino
So it was a pretty serious situation despite how funny red made it seem, make of that what you will
Respect wamen
Change girls with dudes and that's literally how i came out to a guy who had a crush on me, poor guy
Imagine how much more confusing this was when all actors had to be men
Gruff bearded man with deep voice - FOR I AM A WOMAN!
OMG
+TransHailey I NEARLY CHOKED ON MY SODA
TransHailey We are in the presence of a mildly entertaining genius!
so, for Viola's character it would be: a man playing a woman who's pretending to be a man
I love how this plays boils down to "bisexual screaming and confusion"
Relatable
And gender confusion!
"OH SO NOW MY AWKWARD MAN CRUSH MAKES SENSE!"

In the National Theatre Company's 2017 production Orsino literally yells "OH YESSSSSS!!!!" when he finds out Cesario's really a woman
@@Cool_Beansiest👍
In this film, I actually think that Viola is quite a convincing male.
10:03
I could never pull that off
Which kind of sucks because i'm playing viola
@@purplecatloverrandompizza uhuhu me too
Clueless at love yeah I’d say she’s good
So did Orsino, Olivia...
Don't forget that in Shakespeare's day all the female characters would have been played by men so the two may actually have looked very similar.
The Version I have seen had Orcino played by a woman ^^
So, you’re saying it would be EVEN MORE G A Y
Some of the actors might have been “Very good friends’
The irony was NOT lost on Shakespeare.
Woah. The new season of the Host Club looks great.
Feli Vargas correction: very, very old version
🤣🤣🤣🤣
YAAAAS!
Aren't you that one character who played a woman "Charley's Aunt"?
Oh my god, this is one of the best comments I’ve ever seen
"Love bent lines they keep trying to pass as love triangles." THANK YOU!!! SOMEONE FINALLY SAID IT!!!
To be honest, I think the twelfth night has to be my most favorite Shakespeare play, because for once, nobody dies, and it's also really funny. Even today.
Plus the consept is very interesting. :)
So yea. I think I like it better than pretty much anything else that was written at that time.
Even by Shakespeare.
my favorite is tempest but this one is my second favorite one.
Yeah
This is also my favorite ( next to A midsummer night's dream of course )
The plot was actually really good
And the ending was wholesome
The play started with one of the cutest lines I've ever heard
Seeing this play performed live made everything make sense. Its SO good and one of my favorite plays
My favorit did not get a happy ending while everyone else did . . . .
True
I, definitely, wouldn't turn down a marriage proposal from Helena Bonham Carter.
I wouldn’t...*blusing intensifies*
Lucky for you, she likes dating younger guys
@nem tudom ah yes... I’m a male, totally don’t have the lady parts heh heh eh...
I mean, i said that to the original comment, but, i get what ya mean, there are men who confuse my straight ass too.
I am a very sthraight female and l would like to marry her.
"If Twelfth Night were written today, Olivia and Viola would've hooked up."
Yes.
+MrColuber haha
hell ya
that would tots happen
IRON MAN360 *totes
It's not even a controversial thing to have the gay accidental romance hook up. The end of "Some Like it Hot" (one of the best comedies ever, and came out in 1959) has the old man all but marries one of the guys who disguised themselves as women to avoid the mafia.
a minor correction: Sir Toby and Sir Andrew aren't Olivia's servants. Sir Toby is her uncle, never fully explains why he lives with her but Sir Andrew is a friend of his who he brings in to try and win Olivia's heart. Other than that very accurate and clearly tells the story.
exactly
Yes! that was annoying me!
I thought Toby was her cousin
They sort of refer to him as both, it's weird
*pulls out old Twelfth Night script*
Looking at it again, Toby and Andrew refer to her as his niece, and Maria and Olivia refer to him as her cousin. No one else really cares, so I guess the tiebreaker is Fabian, one of Olivia's servants, who calls her Toby's niece. So...
I think that at some point they talk about how Sir Toby drinks all of his money away, so he had no choice but to rely on his much more prudent family.
Olivia when sees the two twins: THIS IS THE GREATEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE
Are you telling me that “She’s the Man” starring Amanda Bynes was just the 21st century version of Twelfth Night THIS WHOLE TIME
Yes, yes it is
Viola does say in drag: "I AM THE MAN!"
The more folk tales you learn, the more plots you recognise in more modern works - it may not be entirely true that there are only half a dozen basic plots, depending on where you fall on the lumper-splitter scale, but folklorists have lists of hundreds of plot types, so even if you want to recognise relatively subtle distinctions, there's still plenty of scope for a given story to be recognisably a reworking of one that's much older than you think.
basically yep
i just realised that after your comment
Funny story: when I first started watching this channel (this video, in fact) I was like "huh, I'm kinda surprised that I haven't heard of this girl before, I mean they have to be pretty famous if they're this funny" but then I saw the subscriber list and that was back when she only had like 350, so I flipped out and immediately subscribed.
go overly sarcastic productions!
Hi thedragon f
You still subscribed?
Yep
I'll have you know that 350 is a big number!
I once got to play Viola in a production of Twelfth Night, or What You Will. The great thing about playing her was that I only had to wear a hot, sweaty dress for the first scene. It's such a fun play, especially for whoever gets to play Orsino, because he's just so ridiculously over the top. This is just my favorite Shakespeare play ever don't mind me I'll stop now.
Amber Hawkins It’s also fun to play Maria, Sir Tobi, or even Malvolio because you either get to make a fool out of yourself, or you Hager to watch someone do it.
I would die to be in this play, but also you don’t have to stop, in fact I’m quite curious, got any funny stories from being in the production?
why did i had to read romeo and juliet instead of that? this sound way better.
I agree.
It is. I recently read it for AP Composition.
I agree. I actually just finished reading Romeo and Juliet, and I think that the whole mess of the two of them dying could've been avoided if they just made their marriage public.
Lucky for me we did this instead of romeo and juliet
NeostormXLMAX my school did both.
Orcino is Shang from Mulan, closeted gay who realized they can marry the guy that they like because he's a woman
Lol Finally someone makes the Mulan connection
I’m just gonna say this one more time
SHANG 👏 LIKED 👏 MULAN👏 BEFORE 👏 HE👏 KNEW 👏 SHE 👏 WAS 👏 A 👏 WOMAN👏

OLIVIA X TREE IN BACKGROUND OTP
“If you were in love with me, what would you do?” “I would SHOUT REALLY LOUDLY!”
I’ve read the play, and I can confirm that this is literally what happened.
"viola is a pretty cool instrument" is the most sarcastic remark in the vid
I am gonna call my next team "The comic relief squad"
Is that Dolores Ambridge and Bellatrix Lestrange?! :O :O
Yep ☺

I call the het-centric "love triangles" love boomerangs instead. The shape works, they tend to be disappointing in execution, and there is a very good possibility all the people involved will get hurt.

Hah!
Heck yes
Why did I sing this
DANNUH NANA, DANNUH NANA *insert weirdly animated roses and blonde boi*
(this is meant to be how to music sounds)
A few thing.
1. I had to read this play in all it's Shakespearian English glory. Still loved it.
2. The ending song, when sung in the right melody/rhythm is absolutely amazing.
3. Just found your videos through Blue's History series, but I've come to love Red's English/Myth/Tropes videos.
4. Olivia and Viola would not have hooked up. Olivia/Viola could still just be straight. But I'd like that version anyways.
It's one of my favourite plays :).
Is it just me or are Viola and Olivia's name's spelled with the same letters in a different order?
Olivia has an extra i
@@sabrinamcclain162 no it doesn't, V I I O L A, Viiola. Olivia. Same letters
And remembering that females were played by young boys at the time this play was published -- genderception!
This is straight up my favourite Shakespeare play. I feel like it could work just as well now as it did then because even if all the romances are ok, it doesn't mean they're inherently compatible
You could totally make the twins really identical though and it would work fine, male or female
It's called Twelfth Night because it refers to the 12th night after Christmas day which is basically the day for the 3 wise men (the ones that give incense, gold and mirth to baby Jesus) I don't know how the title refers to the play though but hey that's how it's called. I hope I made sense
NormalWinterFox its a fest that is supposed to be very irreverent, of many things... time being one. this play is about using time wisely among other things
It is translated as literally "The eve of the 3 kings" to other languages.
12th night celebrations involved cross dressing
This is like the anime "Ouran High school host club" Where a girl has short hair, and all the girls like her because she looks like a guy, and then all the guys like her because they all know she is a girl. It's the same, just that the guys know the girl is a girl
I love that anime
I don't know if you didn't notice, or she left the picture up for to brief a time for you to notice, but when Red mentioned cross dressing, she put up a picture of OHSHC
aaacktualtrash Viola is secretly Haruhi and Orcino (I can't spell, sorry) is secretly Tamaki confirmed!
Daniel Ma one of the very few in the harem archtype that I enjoyed
Daniel Ma I love ouran!
"Most wonderful" omfg and no I won't get my mind out of the gutter lol
"Who wouldn't accept a marriage proposal from Helena Bonham Carter?" MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY
“Viola is a pretty cool instrument”
Someone get twoset on this
YES LING LING 40 HOURS
So I had the callback auditions today, where we did different roles with different groups for a bunch of scenes
And first they had me read for Fabian
But then I read for Viola for the rest if the scenes i read
Which was a lot
And the director asked me if i can memorize long lines
Keep in mind I'm a FRESHMAN
I was just going for a role in general, probably small
BUT IT SEEMS KIND OF LIKE IM GOING TO GET THE LEAD!
CAN SINEONE ELABERATE
Edit: I GOT VIOLA
I'm three years late, but yay for you!
I know this comment is now 3+ years old, but CONGRATS! 🎉
@@ceridwenaeradwr8105 thank you! That was my first show in highschool, after that I was in EVERY show since then and I got 2 other lead roles my junior and senior year!
Junior year I got the role of Eurydice in the show Eurydice, and this past year for my last show I played Beth in Little Women the Musical
Now I'm getting a theatre transfer in community College and I'm planning on going into props design!
This is honestly the only proper comedy by Shakespeare to really make me laugh. Your narrative definitely helped, but I think this whole scenario, while aged, remains lightheartedly hilarious enough.
My parents: Whatever you do don’t be a lesbian!
Also My Parents: Let’s name her Olivia, after the character that famously falls in love with a woman.
Me: *confused lesbian silence*
Technically Olivia thought viola was a man
I was born in national lesbian day-
ITS NOT MY FAULT WOMEN ARE HOT
The "She's the man" movie! hehehe! amazing!
+Karen Caparoso sebastian and olivia!
yeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssss
Yeah it's just a thinly veiled modern version
She's the Man was written by the same duo that wrote 10 Things I Hate About You.
Are you talking about Mulan? :D
Surely I jest : P
4:39 Oh Red, you are so awesome. I love how you say "love blend lines".
Fun Fact: Recently BBC celebrated the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death, which also might be his birthday.
"love bent lines"
I love the idea of a world where Olivia, Viola and Orsino could all sit down, chat shit out, and end up in a very happy and fulfilling poly relationship while Sebastian ends up with the sailor who saved him.
Shakespeare is turning in his grave reading ur comment
@@amansinghrollno-7167yeah, from the fact that HE should’ve thought of that!
@@laraschroeder5195 Can we please leave his work alone? Not everything has to be inclusive
@@amansinghrollno-7167 I know. Sorry if my joke came across as aggressive I didn't mean to ^^,
I love this story as it is and I don't see any reason to change it. It's already hilarious and very fun. While I disagree that inclusivity is overrated, I love this story a lot as it is and I'm not at all saying it should be changed ^v^
I would love a rewrite with this plotline. Give me a month, and I will have something drafted.
Most of the vid I was just wondering how did Shakespeare write this without getting confused
He probably wrote it high
He was a mastermind... or he was drunk
So was that Bellatrix lestrange and Umbridge???
Yes 🐍💚🖤💚🐍
Yeah
8:07 - 8:11
And I gave Romeo and Juliet flack for getting married so quickly
This is legit my favorite Shakespear play just because it's one of the few with a happy ending (I'm usually a sucker for them) and the comedy makes me roar with laughter.
I ship Olivia and Viola
Who doesnt
I can't believe I'm not the only one
Katie Myers same
I ship the duke and Sebastian

I played Viola in my school's Shakespeare play!😂
IgotTHEmusikNme so did I. Maybe cause I'm mtf and the whole thing was me coming out XD.
I played Sebastian... We're practically twins
when i was in high school we did the play. i was malvolio!
I played Maria in my 6th grade play. Only four or five people actually memorized their lines (including me, Malvolio, Feste, and the people who only had one or two lines in the entire play.)
Lucky you
I read this play in high school and freaking *loved* it. My teacher was really great about making things like Shakespearean plays fun and actually understandable for everyone. We watched the movie and also she's the man because of course we did, and it remains one of my favorite plays to this day.
Shakespeare: "Halloo your name to the reverberate hills..."
Red, summarizing: "I'd shout really loud!"
This play was featured in one of my favorite movies, "Wicker Park." The antagonist of the movie, Alex, spends her nights rehearsing a play that I now see was "12th Night." She plays the part of Olivia, and there's a great scene where the director berates her performance because he doesn't believe that she could be in love with a person who is in love with another woman. Well, it turns out she fits the character almost PERFECTLY... two years prior, she had fallen for the protagonist of the movie, Matt, but was too shy to say anything upon first seeing him. She gets a pep talk by her best friend Lisa to go and ask him out, but right when she arrives at his work he sees Lisa and falls in love with her. He and Lisa start dating, much to Alex's heartbreak, and, when she gets an opportunity to sneakily break up the relationship, she does. (Lisa goes on a dance tour for the month, giving Alex a note and Matt's key so he'll know where she is. Alex keeps the note, sneaks into Matt's apartment, deletes Matt's messages on his phone, and then calls Lisa and tells her that she caught Matt cheating on her. Lisa is too heartbroken to confront Matt about this, so she extends the tour and, in Matt's eyes, just vanishes without a trace.)Two years later Alex sees Matt again when he is on a quest to find Lisa after seeing her from a distance at a restaurant and, since they never met, Alex claims to be A Lisa after he sneaks into her (Lisa's) apartment (Note: Matt is pretty much a stalker in his own right until the climax of the movie.). She successfully seduces him, but, after he shows up at her play (the guy Alex is dating prior to the start of the movie, Luke, is Matt's best friend and invited Matt to see the play in an effort to try to get Alex to like him.) Alex has a montage of herself in mental anguish with the director's voice explaining Olivia's role in the play and puts on such a stellar performance that it impresses Matt and bewilders Luke. And, since Alex was wearing weird mime makeup during the performance, Matt doesn't put it together that Luke's girlfriend is the woman who seduced him and ruined his relationship with Lisa two years ago.
The last scene in "Shakespeare in Love" has Viola landing on a strange shore. Yes, she inspires that Viola.
Yes Olivia and Voila would have looked up. But I was really shipping Antonio and Sebastian. Both characters seemed more convenient than anything else... But it was they are so cute!
Antonio is a total sweethart, was a very gay pirat in the production I have seen. I was realy mad that he did not got a happy end
This play sounds awesome. Why isn't this required reading
Dinonid123 It is If you take a Shakespeare class for English.
Probably because of that 𝓙𝓾𝓲𝓬𝔂 𝓗𝓸𝓶𝓸𝓮𝓻𝓸𝓽𝓲𝓬 𝓢𝓾𝓫𝓽𝓮𝔁𝓽 that’s not allowed in a lot of schools
I read and acted out this play as Maria in 6th grade, but it was a sign and didn’t rhyme as much.
@@warrenrobinson527 Stupid. Shakespeare works are mandatory in every english literature class. Nobody cares about the homoeroticism.
@@Altair584 You’d think so, but I’m sayin that the parts of Shakespeares work that includes homoerotic subtext isn’t explored on or taught even though we covered a lotttt of heterosexual subtext within Shakespeare and otherwise, specifically because of underlying homophobia in public education, I asked my English teacher about the connection between Hamlet and Horacio being romantic and he said “That’s an assumed thing with their relationship, and it makes sense, but I’m not really supposed to tell you that.”
Can’t speak for everyone but this happened to me a lot while discussing Shakespeare, but my educators went out of their way to avoid that part of Shakespeare because they weren’t really allowed to explore incredibly famous writings as possible homoerotic texts lmao
We are reading this in English literature class rn, and we have to act out every scene tbh I'm literally crying of laughter each time. Basically we don't understand a single thing about the lines we're saying, then our teacher explains all the sexual innuendos and all the words we don't get and make us re-do the parts, it gets so hilarious.
10/10, would watch again if given the opportunity.
Twlefth Night is the absolute best.
So this is the play reffered to at the end of "Shakespear in love"!
And I just realized that "She's the man" is totally copyed from this 😂😂👌
Papillon Clair except that movie is garbage
Jay Lazarus hey don’t shit on the movie that had Channing Tatum stick a tampon up his nose 👃 it’s a a classic 😂
I read this in class for freshman year, and by god did I love whenever I got to read as Olivia, Viola, or Feste! We got to switch often, and I never thought my first high school English teacher would hate Shakespeare so much, she would make us read a play that wasn't Romeo and Juliet. This play was so much fun to read in class!
Hook, line, and sinker, Red. All in literally the first three seconds. Overly Sarcastic rules!!!!
My English teacher actually played part of this in class to kind of explain the book. Thank You for translating that language Shaksepear calls english!!!
Shakespeare spoke early modern english. We speak modern english today and pronunciations and grammer rules have changed a lot.
this is my favourite Shakespeare play by far. Mdisummer's Night is such a distant second, that it took me a second to even remember, and i'd JUST WATCHED YOUR VIDEO FOR IT!
I wish I could Helena Bonham Carter!
Vanessa L I don’t know what this means, but I too wish I could Helena Bonham Carter
@@graceballard396 I too wish I could Helena Bonham Carter
Everytime we get to the "Most...wonderful" part, I laugh hysterically.
it was very helpful for my exams...
thanxxx
12th night is one of my fave shakespeare's honestly. Also this seems like possibly the best place of the internet to put it so here is a playlist i've made for twelfth night: new rules - dua lipa, blame it on the girls - mika, in the middle - dodie, logical song - supertramp, girlfriend - christine and the queens, honey - emma mcgrath, girls/girls/boys - panic!, somebody told me - the killers, i'm not your toy - la roux, I go crazy - orla gartland, remember your a girl - kaiser chiefs, only you - yazoo, lovefool - the cardigans and finally rain - mika. Thoughts?
So hopefully this helps me not fail my exam monday XD Thank you so much for making this!
ella casterwill my exam is monday too
I saw this play in Oregon and when malvolio (or however you spell it) returns the ring he flipped sicerio(viola) off (the audience was in between them) and then chucked the ring but didn't throw it hard enough and som random guy caught it and threw it the rest of the way
AvalonDog omg this is awesome, would have died to see that
@@warrenrobinson527 I was about to say that
I'm currently in tech week for a production of this, and both our actors for Sebastian and Orsino were out for the say, so after the last scene (with no "husbands" in sight) I (Olivia) finally got the win she wanted and escorted "Cesario" off stage ;)
lol suddenly Ouran High school Host Club pops in 😂😂😂
does Hana Kimi also count?
Finally someone said something about most love triangles just being bent lines thank you!!
About to cast 'Raise Dead' on this comment section BUT-
LOVE our videos btw OSP! I have been diving into the mythos and history vids, and have only recently been sampling through the story summaries which has brought a rather interesting thing to my notice....
Each time I keep clicking on to a new video I swear the 'years ago' marker keeps getting bigger. 6 years ago? 7 years ago? 8?! 9?! YOU'VE BEEN HERE FOR NINE YEARS AND I AINT BEEN AWARE?! How dare I. Love your vids, old and new, and I look gratefully towards more to come!
I saw this play at the globe theater a few years ago. It was hilariousness. If anyone is passing through London I highly recommend it.
You've saved my life with these videos so many times. Thanks a lot! Keep it up, all the best from Holland
Red:Viola is a cool instrument
Musicians:WHEEZE
I played malvolio for my towns Shakespeare play and he was so much fun to act. I understand you had to cut his shenanigans because of time but the yellow stockings scene cracks me up every time.
this was actually pretty funny
How do I know this is one of thee best videos you’ve made? In the first 3 seconds you show OURAN HIGH SCHOOL HOST CLUB!! I also just love this story!
This was so well scripted. Loved the video. I wish our English teacher would explain stuff like this. 😂
We did this play for my school. I think it's called 12th Night because the stage is set as a clock with Orsino (I think it's him or one of the twins) sits at 12. The scenes go around the clock until we reach 12, where everyone is happily married and the play ends. It makes a lot more sense because this one was written more as a visual then as reading material.
if feste the depressing clown were alive today he'd be a memelord
I did this play last year in school and played Olivia. There is this awesome scene where Olivia just GOES OFF at sir Toby and it was just the most fun ever.
this is close the Black Adder season two...
Speaking of which, please make a Black Adder summary... also The Holy Grail and Life of Brian
The reason Twelfth Night is called that is because it was written to be performed on the “twelfth night” of Christmas, which is when they take down their decorations.
“That kind of love officially didn’t happen.”
Sure it did, and there are plenty of stories about it. The Middle Ages isn’t a monolith. There were times and places where they were against it sure, but generally no one gave a shit beyond making fun of you for being a genetic dead-end... Which is technically fair.
"But I like viola better because that is a pretty cool instrument"
Ling Ling laughs in the distance while playing flight of the bumblebee backwards at 15 notes per second
Yo can we stop for a sec and just take a moment to appreciate how cool the Illyrian uniforms are?
Our class was given about 15 minutes on stage for Shakespeare day hosted by another school. We played the comedy relief characters (the sword fight scene) I even brought a fake sword and a fake axe and we were all in silly little costumes, the whole getup, and I genuinely think we were the best stage that day, the other schools did dramatic bits from other Shakespeare plays that were less than impressive
there goes my money I've been saving up for a year I'm using it to buy this book
I'm a tiny bit surprised no one talks about how perfectly cast the late great Sir Nigel Hawthorne is as Malvolio. He has it all- the hilariousness, the pompousness, the proverbial stick up the bottom and even the underlying tragedy of the character.
i really enjoyed it.it was very useful for my exams
It cannot be overstated how funny Malvolio's actions are once he falls for the trick and begins to act crazy.
Cross. Gartered. Yellow. STOCKINGS.
Wait, you missed the best part! Cross-gartered yellow stockings!
That can be a special treat for those who read the whole thing and/or see it on stage or film
To this day - no matter the context yellow stockings make me laugh. Then again the stage production my high school did the dude hammed that part up insanely.
That image of the guy holding his sword by the blade is actually an example of a real technique called "half-swording" which was a way to deal with armor since contrary to what Hollywood and video games would tell you, you can't cut through plate armor or chainmail, this has been my swrdfighting lesson/rant for the day.
wtf so that movie with amanda bynes is based on shakespearean stuff
Lia S. Yeah...
Yes, and it completely ruined the awesomeness that is this play, thanks Amanda Bynes
The way you summarized was extremely hilarious 😍😂🤣
the girl dressing up as a guy is like an anime called girl beats boys check it out it's awesome!
I have to say She's the Man did a really amazing job retelling this story for the modern day. I mean this does not seem like a story you could do it with, but they were able to do with ease (and with keeping all of the character names including the location name).
"...who wouldn't accept a proposal from Helena Bonham Carter?"
Tru xD
Hi!! I LOVVVE your videos. I have always been fascinated by myths and literature and you add this whole other spin on it. I would just like to attempt to help people writing essays and make it known that the name Twelfth night, comes from a festival of the same name that celebrated misrule and frivolity. Peasants became kings and vice versa and it was basically one big opposite day that happened either just before or just after Christmas.
Dude: the names are even the same in She the Man
“Viola is a pretty cool instrument” you are the only person to have ever said that. Thank you
