Act 2 notes/ideas

1. Scene 1: Antonio & Sebastian — What are we to think of their relationship? Implications of the nature or love? How do our heteronormative ideas inform our impression of this scene?

2. Scene 3, lines 77-end — The knuckleheads, Malvolio and the plan.

3. Scene 4, lines 14-end — What are we think of Orsino and Viola? Compare their language? Is there sincerity in either character's language?

4. Scene 5, lines 76-166 — How does Malvolio read the letter? How does we stage each sentence or phrase? How do the actors entertain the audience? What are the overhearers doing whilst Malvolio is reading?
