Our Vanishing Night Most city skies have become virtually empty of stars. By Verlyn Klinkenborg If humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars‚ we would go in darkness happily‚ the midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number of nocturnal species on this planet. Instead‚ we are diurnal creatures‚ with eyes adapted to living in the sun’s light.

In William Shakespeare’s comedic play‚ "Twelfth Night"‚ a recurring theme is deception. The characters in the play used deception for a variety of purposes.

On the other hand‚ Maria‚ Olivia’s servant‚ writes a letter to Malvolio in Olivia’s handwriting to make Malvolio act foolishly because of his love for Olivia. While some use deception as a means of survival‚ others use

The overall ending of Twelfth Night is subversive‚ from Malvolio’s uncomfortable promises of revenge to Viola still in her Cesario attire after the grand unveiling of her identity. Feste’s song highlights these ambiguities: it is the only epilogue song with the exception of Love’s Labours Lost which is not celebratory (the latter being overshadowed by death). Feste’s lyrics emphasise the uselessness of material possessions when faced with the onslaught of time‚ and comes directly after Orsino’s professed

They seem to reach and throw themselves high into the darkness of the clear night sky. I gaze around the fire‚ and the guests seem to be enjoying themselves as they mingle with family and friends.

It almost always involves a song or lyrics that trigger the memory for you. Your first dance‚ your high school prom‚ joyriding in your first car‚ holidays with your family‚ music is a part of all of these moments. For me‚ it’s the Temptations Christmas Album.

“He is the wisest character in the play”. How far do you agree with this interpretation of Feste in Twelfth Night? This essay will explore the notion that Feste is the wisest character in the play. The definition of wise is “having or showing experience‚ knowledge‚ and good judgment: a wise precaution.” Feste is the epitome of irony‚ I think a modern day audience would the audience may believe a ‘fool’ to be purely someone to make you laugh and be an idiot. However Feste is very much the opposite;
