Shakespeare was a man that established his name in history books as a great writer. One of Shakespeare’s many sparks of innovative genius which laminated these pages was his use of masks. Masks are used throughout Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” as a character would choose to wear their selected mask to fit in to the particular situation. Shakespeare uses this imagery of a mask in many of the characters in his play‚ but mostly in two: Viola and Feste. These masks are used throughout the

It is this often confusing relationship that I wish to further explore in this paper. In the story our main character‚

Twelfth Night is one of William Shakespeare’s so-called transvestite comedies that features a female disguising herself as a young man.
