Public playhouse: in the liberties away from the english church. Comdies: start in a confusion, misrecognition, move to clarity and understanding and uni cation. 12 night: the last celebrations of christmas, in illyria. Delirium: unsure what is illusion and reality, orisno is forced to be in love. He real love is ebbing and owing like the ocean: borrows this story from ovid, viola dresses as a man. Allows her to be close to orisno: those in the subplot speak in pose, malvolio. A protestant: moment of dramatic irony. Orsino is talking to a disguised viola.
