Your Assignment
In studies of literature, we often focus on the development of a single
protagonist or hero. However, the comedy, the plot, and the meaning of
Twelfth Night are all deeply rooted in the development of pairs of characters.
Throughout the play, we encounter many different types of character pairings:
siblings, twins, lovers, friends, allies, and enemies.
Select a pair of characters from Twelfth Night. What is their relationship? How
does it change over the course of the play? What influence or effect does their
pairing have on other characters, or on the events unfolding on Shakespeare’s
stage? Support your argument using specific details and direct quotations from
the
text.
What You Turn In
• Your essay should be approximately one to two pages in length. Use one-inch margins
and a 12-point
font.

argument you want to make in your essay.

argument for that paragraph.
• Be sure to support your arguments with brief, relevant examples—including direct
quotations from the
text. Each body paragraph should include at least three pieces of
supporting evidence and should be
clearly linked together with intelligent commentary.

conventions (include
act, scene, and line numbers for each quote).
