Twelfth Night love
Yes, I think (mainly looking at the example from Twelfth Night) that probably men are more shallow, don’t think too deeply/aren’t as passionate as women, get bored/attracted more easily and etc., while like Viola or Ollivia in Twelfth Night, women think more deep and look for certain qualities, and don’t get bored/attracted as easily.
Well, for me personally I don’t really have a lot of views about love yet, but Orsino kind of describes his kind of love – or the way men love- to be “more giddy and unfirm” so that most men fall in and out of love more easily than women do. Orsino also likes to make a lot of comparisons, like for example women and flowers.
Viola, on the other hand, is more poetic, seems more devoted and obviously thinks that love can make a person do dramatic things and that the person would do anything to gain the interest/attention of the person they love; she talks about this, as Cesario, with Olivia (in Act 1 Scene 5). I would probably say that my view of love is more similiar to Viola’s but kind of different also.
I thought the line where Viola and Orsino where talking about Viola’s love was funny because she hinted a lot with the similarities of her love and Orsino but he never noticed, and there was also a lot of irony.
A line of their conversation that I especially thought was funny was “Too old, by heaven! Let still the woman take an elder than herself; so she wears she to him; so sways she level in her husbands heart” (2.4.27-29) because I don’t know but the way he said it was funny when she was really talking about him.
