Assessment of Malvolio in Twelfth Night

When he speaks to Cereals (aka Viola) he says And one more issue that you never be so hardy to come here again. This shows us that although he strives to be as Puritanical as possible, there ar some things that he does have special feelings for and, In turn, these help us relate to him and understand his actions during the play. However, that point bear be interpreted or else assortedly and reveal a darker side to meg.Moreover, far from being the hard-core and protective servant he can be seen as a sycophantic, lustful person who acts solely out of greed and his desire for power. An exercise of this Is Her madam at your service, as this shows his sycophantic nature and his impulse to be sozzledr to Olav. As you advance through the play this begins to hold up more dominant and leads to Maillots lecherous behavior. This is exploited by Marias letter, which plays on Maillots imagination. He is overheard visualizing various fantasies such as l come from a twenty-four hours bed, where I left Olav sleepingThis leads him to developing an overindulged ego and he becomes also big for his sustain boots. Consequently he does not know his rove and has a superiority complex. This makes him unpopular with both his masters and fellow servants. When the magic trick is played on him by Maria he is blinded by self love and is foolhardy and so he is an easy can for the prank. Another one of his bad qualities Is his tendency to commence the smallest thing similarly far and make it a million times worse. This trait seems to take root in the fact that the can be over glowing in his duties for Olivia.An example of this is when he tells Toby to stop ranking and thrum to bed when it is really none of his business. This results in Toby, Maria and Fabian formulating a plan for revenge (the prank), which leads to Maillots demise. Mad) and quite cynical (till the application of death take him) towards others. I conceive of that Shakespeare chooses to exaggerate Mai llots actions and emotions in distinguish to make us laugh at him s healthful as suggesting to the referee that many Puritans are die-hard killjoys. This is due to the fact that they want to close playhouses, which, as Shakespeare was a playwright, was his life and source of income.However, at the same time, he shows us that although Puritans try to appear almost inhuman, 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 muckle around them. They are human and they can do all the things we can do like feel pain, sorrow, regret 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 doubt his own sanity.This leaves Million distraught and in a wretched state, as would anybody else who was subjected to what Millio n was brought to believe. For Million these emotions continue to escalate until eventually they reach a culmination during the ending scene of Twelfth Night when he is sent outside dejected and unwanted by Olivia. This scene raises our sympathy towards Million, which ultimately results in increased dislike when instead of accepting Toby, Maria and Fabian apologies he vows revenge on them all. Through out Twelfth Night our facet and feelings for Million are constantly changing due to the complex diagram and character interactions.At times we can feel sympathetic towards him, but forward the effect of these new born 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 forget but drags teensy things on and makes them worse. This is reflected in the ending as it ends with Million leaving Olives preindication Vowing reve nge 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
