| What does Fabian ask Feste to see? | The letter from Malvolio |
| Why does Feste say that he’s better “for my foes and worse for my friends”? | He thinks his friends lie to him and always praise him so they are making an ass of him, whereas, his enemies tell him straight up that he’s an ass, so he learns more about himself from his enemies. |
| What do we learn about Antonio’s skill from what Orsino says about him? | Even the people that should have hated Antonio the most could not help but appreciate his skills. He was that good! |
| What does Antonio say drew him to Illyria? | “A witchcraft”…by that he means love. He came to be with Sebastian. |
| What happens when Antonio tells the Duke that he saved “Cesario’s” life? | He tells him that is impossible because Cesario’s been with the Duke for the last 3 months. |

| Why does the Duke say he’s taking Cesario with him when he leaves? | He knows Olivia likes him, and he favors Cesario, so he is going to take him so that she can’t have him…just to spite her. |
| What’s Cesario/Viola’s reaction to leaving Olivia? | He (she) is very willing to go with the Duke since she says she loves him more than her sight, more than her life and more than she would ever love a wife. |

| What is the Duke’s reaction to finding out that “Cesario” married Olivia? | He can’t imagine how evil Cesario will be if he’s this evil as a young man. He tells Cesario that he can have Olivia, but to make sure they never cross paths again. |

| Who said:”So comes it, lady, you have been mistook:But nature to her bias drew in that.You would have been contracted to a maid;Nor are you therein, by my life, deceived,You are betroth’d both to a maid and man.”? | Sebastian |
