Assessment of Malvolio in Twelfth Night

When he speaks to Cereals (aka Viola) he says And unrivaled more involvement that you never be so severelyy to come hither again. This shows us that although he strives to be as Puritanical as possible, there be some things that he does be in possession of special feelings for and, In turn, these help us consult to him and understand his actions during the be. However, that fact hindquarters be interpreted rather differently and display a darker spatial relation to meg.Moreover, far from being the loyal and protective servant he asshole be seen as a fawning, lustful person who acts solely come in of greed and his desire for power. An example of this Is Her wench at your service, as this shows his sycophantic nature and his craving to be appressed to Olav. As you advance through the play this begins to become more dominant and leads to Maillots lecherous behavior. This is exploited by female horses letter, which plays on Maillots imagination. He is overheard visual izing various fantasies such as l come from a day bed, where I left Olav sleepingThis leads him to developing an overindulged g altogetheranted head and he becomes too big for his throw boots. Consequently he does not spang his place and has a superiority complex. This defines him less-traveled with both his masters and fellow servants. When the privy is played on him by Maria he is blinded by self love and is foolhardy and so he is an easy target for the prank. An different cardinal of his bad qualities Is his tendency to bow egress the smallest thing too far and make it a million propagation worse. This trait seems to take root in the fact that the can be over zealous in his duties for Olivia.An example of this is when he tells Toby to plosive speech sound ranking and get to bed when it is truly none of his business. This results in Toby, Maria and Fabian formulating a plan for revenge (the prank), which leads to Maillots demise. gruesome) and quite cynical (till the striving of death take him) towards others. I return that Shakespeargon chooses to exaggerate Maillots actions and emotions in order to make us laugh at him swell as suggesting to the reader that many Puritans are die-hard killjoys. This is delinquent to the fact that they emergency to close playhouses, which, as Shakespeare was a playwright, was his conduct and source of income.However, at the same time, he shows us that although Puritans try to appear around in human beings, there is a different side to them, which is shown to us through million. The side in question regards the fact that they can have fun and that they do have feelings for other people around them. They are human and they can do all the things we can do like feel pain, sorrow, atone and humiliation as well as love, hope and affection. The evidence for this is presented when Sir Topaz mentally traumatized and humiliates million. He does this by making Million believe that he is mad and discredit his own sanity.This leaves Million distraught and in a wretched state, as would anybody else who was subjected to what Million was brought to believe. For Million these emotions continue to escalate until in conclusion they reach a climax during the finale scene of Twelfth Night when he is sent away dejected and unwished by Olivia. This scene raises our sympathy towards Million, which lastly results in increased dislike when quite of accepting Toby, Maria and Fabian apologies he vows revenge on them all. Through out Twelfth Night our view and feelings for Million are constantly changing due to the complex plot and character interactions.At times we can feel sympathetic towards him, further before the effect of these new innate(p) feelings can sink in, he has do something bad and our views change once again. This makes it hard to Judge Maillots character. However, overall, I think he is a villain. This is because he has chances to forgive and result but drags little things on and mak es them worse. This is reflected in the ending as it ends with Million deviation Olives Mansion Vowing revenge on all who inhabit it. Although I think he is punished rather severely I think ultimately he gets what deserves in the form of humbling humiliation. By Curran Doyle
