Practical jokes~and Malvolio
- Have you ever played a practical joke on someone, or been the victim of a practical joke? Write about your experience, making parallels between what happened to you and what’s happening to Malvolio.
- Make a list of all the epithets that are used for characters in 2.5 (e.g. “rascally sheep-biter,” “overweening rogue”).
Yes.. kind of. Well I can barely remember a few, the one I remember the most was at a sleepover 
My friend was having a sleepover party for her birthday and invited me along with a bunch of other people. After all the hyperness it came time to sleep. Well.. there WERE a lot of people already asleep. Me and my other 3 friends who were still awake thought it would be fun to play a practical joke on them and draw things on their faces while they were asleep. NOT a smart idea. When they woke up, the victims looked so funny we just burst out laughing. They went to the mirror to see why, and starting yelling at us since we were the only ones without anything on our faces.. we’d forgot to draw on ourselves as well. The host looked extremely mad for a second and had a look of intense mad-ness, after that I don’t really remember what happened except that in the end all was well and that incident was forgotten.
I can’t really relate this to what Malvolio is going through in the scene that we’re reading right now, except that he probably isn’t suspecting anything or that he is the victim of a joke.
Epithets used in 2.5:
Rascally sheep-biter (2.5.4-5), Overweening rogue (2.5.25), Little villain (2.5.11), Rogue (2.5.31), The fortunate unhappy (2.5.132)
What to do if you visit Tokyo (Japan)
I recently went there for TET break and I decided to make this list of places to go/things to do:
1. Go to a convenient store like 7-eleven or Family Mart- be amazed at the different kinds of kit-kats/mentos etc they have (they have a LOT!)
2. Go to Tokyo Disney Sea or Summerland(if you can on a weekday or else it’ll be really crowded!)
3. Try eating sushi or sashimi!
4. Go to Shibuya or Harajuku where you can see lots of crazily dressed people. Shibuya 209 (in Shibuya) is good for shopping (mainly for girls)
5. Go to Tokyo Tower, or if your going with your family maybe try going to Mt. Fuji
6. A few other good shopping places: Big Camera (electricware), Sunshine City, Parco, any big department store like those are probably good
7. Go to Kiddyland (in Harajuku) a popular shop mainly for teenagers/kids
8. The Emperor’s palace (where the emperor lives)
Try not to:
1. Spend too much money on the first day or you’ll run out in no time
2. Don’t ride a taxi (they’re seriously overpriced)
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.

Malvolio blows up (at the party, 2.3)
In the scene that we read Sir Toby kind of goes along with the party and has fun, while Malvolio- after seeing the mess- gets furious and really mad at them.
I can relate to both of these characters since if it was my brother or something and they had made a big mess, then like Malvolio, I would get mad; I hate having to clean things up and also especially would hate to be woken up in the middle of the night! On the other hand if I was in Toby’s situation I would just go along with it and have fun. Overall, though, I would say I am more of a Toby than a Malvolio because I do like to have fun with my friends rather than ruin other peoples fun, like Malvolio.
Feste sings a couple of songs in this scene; the first was a love song. It does sort of keep with the mood since Sir Toby and Andrew were requesting to hear it. Also many people, such as Sir Andrew, were coming to try to woo Olivia so it may have been about that; it does kind of connect. Then again however, they were having a party in which a love song is usually unlikely to come up.
A joke that I found funny in this scene was when Feste, in reply to (Sir) Andrew, says: I did impeticos thy gratillity: for Malvolio’s nose is no whipstock; my lady has a white hand, and the Myrmidons are no bottle-ale houses (2.3.23-25). It didn’t make any sense since he was mocking Andrew, but I thought that it was funny the way that he was jokingly making fun of Andrew, who did not seem to notice this.
Feste, the fool
Re-read 1.5, and when you re-read focus on the character of Feste. Answer these questions in your next blog post: (Don’t forget to link back to this blog!)
- How long do you think he has been in Olivia’s household?
Probably for a while since he seems very carefree and comfortable.
2. Is Feste a carefree fool with no troubles?
Everyone says that he is a fool, but I bet that he’s probably really smart and maybe acting that way on purpose so maybe he’s just really good at acting. And so on. He seems very untroubled though.
3. Does he have a brain?
Like the question before; he’s probably smart and you can tell since although he seems foolish, he’s good with words.
4. If you were a director of this play either on stage or in film, who would you cast for Feste? (Someone you know? A Hollywood actor? Your brother?) How would you costume him/ her?
I don’t really know, but probably someone who seems foolish and silly albeit good with words; maybe someone like Johnny Depp since he’s good at acting.
5. Find some clues in the script that suggest action for Feste — particularly action that brings out the sillyness and merry-making in Feste’s nature. If you were a director, what would you want the Fool to be doing physically in this scene?
One line that showed the nature of Feste was where Feste says talking to Olivia about Sir Toby: Thou has spoke for us, madonna, as if thy eldest son should be a fool: whose skull Jove (king of the gods) cram with brains, for – here he comes – one of thy kin has a most weak pia mater (brain). (1.5.93-95) If I were the director, Feste would be first motioning his hands towards the sky as he says ‘Jove cram with brains’ then motioning towards Sir Toby as he entered, and tapping his head (towards his brain) twice as he says ‘pia mater’.
Lines and quotes from Twelfth Night (hw)
Find and comment on four lines from this scene (1.3). They can be lines that strike you in any way – because they’re funny, you like a word in it, you like the character, or the action, or anything else.
1. Sir Toby: Fie, that you’ll say so! He plays o’th’viol-de-gamboys, and speaks three or four languages word for word without book, and hath all the good gifts of nature. (1.3.21)
I liked this line because it had a lot of strange words/phrases in it, and I thought that it was a good example of what language (English) in those days was like.
2. Sir Toby: Pourquoi, my dear knight? (1.3.76)
I thought that this quote was kinda interesting because it was strange to me that French would be used kind of as slang, in normal English, in those days as well (even though it seems like such a long time ago).
3. Sir Toby (talking about Sir Andrew Aguecheek): What, wench! Castiliano vulgo: for here comes Sir Andrew Aguface. (1.3.34-35)
This line made me laugh when I understood it because Sir Toby had introduced his friend, the knight, as Sir Andrew Aguecheek but then gotten his name wrong when he was referring to him later on! I thought that this was an interesting way of the author to show the silliness of the scene.
4. Sir Andrew: Faith, I can cut a caper. (1.3.98)
I thought that this line was weird and didn’t understand the meaning of it at all until I read in the vocab. section that to cut a caper means to leap (or spice for mutton). This is another example of the type of English that is used in this play, or was used during Shakespeare’s time.
