Twelfth Night Acts 4 and 5

Act 4 Scene 1 opens with Sebastian talking to the fool. The fool is bothering Sebastian and Sebastian just wants him to go away: "I prithee, foolish Greek, depart from me. There's money for thee. If you tarry longer, I shall give worse payment." (IV.i.18-20). Andrew and Toby enter and Andrew and Toby start fighting. Olivia enters and tells them to stop fighting: "Hold, Toby! On thy life I charge thee hold!" (IV.i.45). Sebastian is extremely confused by what is going on: "What relish is in this? How runs the stream? Or I am mad, or else this is a dream. Let fancy still my sense in Lethe steep; if it be thus to dream, still let me sleep!" (IV.i.59-63). I feel pretty bad for Sebastian. He just survived a ship wreck and arrived in this crazy town with Andrew trying to kill him and Olivia trying to hook up with him!
In Act 4 Scene 2 Maria's crazy schemes continue when she has the fool dress up as a priest to banish the demon inside Malvolio: "Out, hyperbolical fiend! How vexest thou this man! Talkest thou nothing but of ladies?" (IV.ii.26-27). Malvolio rants about how everyone hates him and makes him look like an idiot: "And I say, there was never a man thus abused." (IV.ii.47-48). The fool takes off the costume and talks to Malvolio. Malvolio denies that he is crazy: "I am as well in my wits, fool, as thou art." (IV.ii.91). Malvolio asks for the fool's help in sending a letter to Olivia: "Good fool, some ink, paper, and light; and convey what I will set down to my lady." (IV.ii.112-114). I actually understand now why Maria plays so many pranks on Malvolio. He is incredibly cocky and desperate! He won't seem to take no for an answer and is acting creepy. Hopefully Olivia sets him straight.
Act 4 Scene 3 Sebastian and Olivia pretty much get engaged: "If you mean well, now go with me and with this holy man into the chantry by." (IV.iii.22-24). I think this is absolutely ridiculous! Sebastian has known her for maybe a day and already wants to marry the woman! Everyone in this play seems to be insane!
In Act 5 Scene 1 Antonio arrives in Orsino's court and explains how he saved Sebastian's life. Olivia arrives and talks about her and Cesario's wedding, which Viola is completely surprised and confused by: "Who does beguile you? Who does do you wrong?" (V.i.139-140). Olivia keeps insisting that they are married and has the priest come and prove it: "A contract of eternal bond of love, confirmed by mutual joinder of your hands, attested by the holy close of lips, strength'ned by interchangement of your rings." (V.i.156-159). Of course Orsino gets angry at Viola: "Farewell, and take her; but direct thy feet where thou and I, henceforth, may never meet." (V.i.168-169). Andrew comes in and says that Cesario stabbed Toby and once again Viola is confused. Sebastian enters and everyone is shocked that there are two Sebastians/ Cesarios: "An apple cleft in two is not more twin than these two creatures. Which is Sebastian?" (V.i.222-224). Viola and Sebastian ask each other about who they are and come to realize that they are brother and sister. Orsino discovers that Viola is actually a woman and decides to marry her. Fabian admits that he, Toby, Andrew and Maria played a prank on Malvolio and Malvolio declares that he will get revenge. I guess this play ended happily, but I still think it's really strange that everyone fell in love within hours of meeting the person. It's also weird that Orsino is in-laws with Olivia, the woman he wanted to marry. The fool seemed to be in more of the play than any of the others and he seemed more sane than the others as well. This play was extremely crazy, but I do admit there were some pretty funny parts in it.
