To agree with the statement, disguise and deception is used widely by Shakespeare. Throughout the play we only see Viola in her disguise as ‘Cesario’. From Act 1, Scene 2, we see her planning on using the disguise of a man to serve Orsino. The interactions between her and the other characters show dramatic irony as they do not realise who Cesario actually is, however the audience does. Orsino, at the start of Act 2, scene 4 says â€Å"Now good morrow, friends; Now, good Cesario.† Orsino does not know the actual person he is talking to when he praises Cesario, just the same when he says Cesario is â€Å"semblative a woman’s part†, saying that Cesario looks like a woman. For Shakespeare’s audience there was a heightened level of irony because at that†¦show more content†¦This is when Portia and Nerissa disguise themselves as men, specifically a lawyer and a clerk, as a way to save Antonio. This links into the way Viola uses an inner dis guise to shield her real personality, she first goes into her disguise at the docks in Act 1, scene 2 when she says to the Captain â€Å"Conceal me what I am, and be my aid. For such disguise as haply shall become the form of my intent.† This shows how she is covering up ‘what I am [she is]’- a woman, by the personality and physical disguise of a man. From this point onwards there is comedy due to the fact that she is disguised as a man and is fooling every other character, with the audience knowing all about this. This also shows that Shakespeare respects the audience enough to not have them fooled by Viola’s disguise ;and he shows more sexual equality, as Viola plays a major part in the story and without her the play would have a lot less comedy. The structure of the play relies mostly on her actions, for example there would have been no love triangle without her and all the other characters would not have been deceived by her. Therefore, there would be no dramatic irony to create amusement. So, the dramatic irony of Viola’s disguise makes characters seem ignorant and ridiculous creating comedy, but also through the audience’s knowledge of Viola’s true identity. Shakespeare resolves this confusion by Viola revealing herself in the last act, making it a zenith ending, with all the characters presentShow MoreRelatedLogical Reasoning189930 Words   |  760 Pages................................................................................................... 19 CHAPTER 2 Claims, Issues, and Arguments .............................................................................. 23 What is a Statement?............................................................................................................................ 23 What is an Argument?................................................................................................Read MoreStrategy Safari by Mintzberg71628 Words   |  287 Pages375 Index 397 349 EMBARKATION T his trip began with a paper by Henry called Strategy Formation: Schools of Thought, published by Jim Fredrickson in a collection entitled Perspectives on Strategic Management (HarperCollins, 1990).
