I am presenting this article on the topic of Twelfth Night the play of Shakespear. This article elucidates
Shakespeare’s concepts hidden or revealed of beauty, nobility, sincerity, loyalty challenging, interesting, melodrama, turbulence, apocalypses and loyality. The critical thinker reveals that every body have their own strategies and interesting.

Introduction

William Shakespeare, who is known as greate for all ages, has changed the nature of drama
in English world. Shakespeare’s genius operates a very wide and unfettered range of human
life and character in all its complexity and variety. “Shakespeare is the second most quoted
writer in the English language-after the various writers of the Bible Shakespeare has
enfolded all elements of human experience and segments of human sensibility. It is his
affluent and matchless literature that has made him reach to the crest of popularity and he has
made a permanent and paramount place in the heart of his readers throughout the world.
William Shakespeare is truly known as synonymous with genuis for a numerous reasons.
Thus Shakespeare has a special ability to take ordinary situations and make them intensely
comical and interesting. He does it in such a way that relies almost completely on well-
arranged dialogue to do so.
Shakespeare has become the cornerstone of classical education in English literature without
achieving a university degree. His genius was not educated in school but natural, and yet his
understanding and depiction of the complexity of human nature is a model of perfection. If
speech is considered as man’s greatest show on the earth, Shakespeare is undoubtedly the
greatest showman in the world. Obviously William Shakespeare might not have been born
great but having achieved greatness in spite of not being highly educated in his lifetime, he
definitely died great. His intricacy of weaving of wisdom through words, has survived him as
our contemporary today. Almost 400 years after his death, he lives on great, through every
reading, every performance and every interpretation or adaptation of his works.

Critical Analysis

Our society is not sincere with each other. The unexpected behaviour or cross-dressing
compulsorily lead to confusion and humorous encounters
with other characters and Shakespeare deliberately does it in
his comedies.
Thus we can conclude that Shakespeare deliberately presents
his female characters who do not follow the rules imposed
upon them and thus he turns the situation into a source of
humour. But after letting his women have their own way, he
proclaims their traditional role in society by putting them
back in their place, by getting married at the end of the plays,
and by leading a happy life in submission to their husbands.
It cannot be denied that during Shakespeare’s times women
were far from being equal to men and that this attitude is also
reflected in many of Shakespeare’s work

Conclusion

we find a wide range of
very strong female characters who do what they are supposed
to follow and do not play their role according to the rules
imposed upon them. In some case women disguise as male in
order to achieve their goals while other characters dare to
speak their mind in spite of the fact that this type attitude is
counted to be defective for the female characters.
Shakespeare, thus, seems not to be afraid of facing his
audience with matchless female characters who manage to
make the action of the comedies much stimulating, bustling,
and more stirring.
Nevertheless, it would be wrong to claim that Shakespeare
wants to underline and reaffirm women’s equality to men as
some feminists would have it. In Shakespeare’s comedies
heroines are represented stronger than the male characters
and they play their role with a different purpose.
