This paper analyzes the relationship between the characteristics and functions of characters and scenery in the drama Twelfth Night.

Brief introduction of character relationship: Viola likes Duke Osino, Duke Osino loves Olivia, but Olivia likes Sibas Xin. At the same time, Malfurion and Sir Andrew Gutschke begged Olivia.

Viola and the Duke of Ossino

How did Viola fall in love with the Duke? After learning about Viola's love, why did the Duke give up love quickly, pursue Olivia for a long time and accept Viola? Moved by her sincere love? But can love be produced by touch? Is the affection between him and her really love? Why didn't the Duke be moved until the last confession (Viola disguised herself as a man's servant and told the Duke more than once that she would never get married, but she would always be loyal to him)? Olivia's love, sought after for so long, suddenly became the love of brother and sister? Finally, the duke learned that Viola's love for himself was not accepted because she could not get the countess's love. I don't think it's fair to Viola, but she is willing to do so. Just holding hands with someone or stepping into the marriage hall, can she get the love she has always dreamed of?

Second, the Duke of Ossino and the Countess Olivia.

A duke deserves an earl, and a noble wife must be a noble. This is really a suitable marriage! If they do get married,

Because of Olivia's beauty, the Duke of Ossino, who is older than her, falls madly in love with her (although I know she is not crazy in the fifth chapter). As a lover, he doesn't know her character or her thoughts. Why can he have a deep fascination with a person just by his appearance? However, looks are really important, whether boys or girls, all the time. Beautiful, alive and handsome people always have more survival opportunities and competitive advantages than ordinary people. Can it be said that this is one of the evolutionary manifestations of our human "survival of the fittest"? Perhaps this is a good development trend, at least the descendants of mankind will become more and more beautiful and handsome!

But at the same time, the countess refused the duke because of her appearance. She thinks he is too old. This may be the paradox of this law! Everyone loves beauty, but he is not very beautiful. Therefore, naturally, she first "fell in love" with Viola, a handsome young servant who courted the Duke. Like the duke, she was attracted by his handsome young face and fell in love. "Love" is just because it is beautiful.

Is this because people don't pay attention to the inside? This reminds me of Amocido in Notre Dame and the masked man in Phantom of the Opera. They all have no good looks, and they really live harder than ordinary people, even though they have more valuable qualities and professional knowledge than ordinary people. It seems that all this is because of "looks", and it is more difficult for them to gain the trust of others than ordinary people. Many people "stay away from them" because of the so-called ugly faces they see. In the face of this situation, perhaps we can only sigh silently in our hearts: God is still partial. Looking good can really bring you a lot of unexpected things. Coincidentally, because of his appearance, the duke fell in love with the countess; It was also because of her appearance that the countess refused the duke.

Third, Olivia, Viola and Sibas Xin.

Most beautiful women's lovers are not too ugly. Generally, some arrangements will be made in the drama to prevent beautiful women from falling in love with ugly people and causing too much visual impact, except for some scenes with ulterior motives. Let's also think logically. Will a woman who looks at her beautiful face in the mirror every day be willing to stare at an ugly person every day? This kind of thing never happens for no special reason. The frog prince gives a good proof: when the prince is still a frog, the princess will make up her mind to throw him to death at the end of the bed; Only when the prince becomes a prince can the princess live happily with him. This makes it easy to understand Miss Olivia's concept of mate selection. Compared with the older duke, young and handsome servants are naturally more attractive.

Different from oriental women, western women are more direct, bolder and braver in expressing their love. Of course, she loves his skin, but it doesn't rule out that she will fall in love with his inner nature in the future, and she can't fight to the end with a stick. Maybe she'll resent him if she has too much contact. But at the moment of falling in love, she desperately tried to find an excuse to give her ring as a token of love to her beloved, even if she met again, she would not be careful. From the outside, Sibas Sheen is the one you love. Some of them are indiscriminate, and the wedding ceremony will be held soon, which really makes people doubt whether generate is true love at that moment. Perhaps, like many creatures in nature, we humans pay more attention to each other's looks when choosing a mate!

There is another question. Why do Viola and Sibas Xin, two brothers and sisters with such good feelings, believe that each other is dead? Why don't you try to find each other after you settle down? Instead, I'm expecting miracles, or lazily waiting for accidents. Until the accident really happened, the scene where they met at the Duke's house was so touching and sensational that I couldn't understand it at once.

Although the twelfth night was a comedy, I couldn't laugh. I think it's because time is far from the background! But love is really inexplicable, although I also believe that it is an instant passion!
