What does Orsino say about women’s capacity for love? Is there evidence in the play to support or disprove Orsino’s opinion? INCLUDE THE ACTUAL QUOTE IN YOUR RESPONSE. Orsino says “no women’s frame could stand the throbbing of so strong a passion as love gives to my heart. No woman’s heart is so big, to cope so much. Women lack staying power. Alas, their love could be called appetite. Its not the genuine article. Its something akin to taste:they can have to much, overheat, and feel revision. My appetite is as hungry as the sea’s, and it can digest as much. Don’t compare the love that women can have for me with how I feel about Olivia.” I disprove of this because one girl (Olivia) rejected him and there for does not have experience with the general women public. So he could go to every woman and learn this from them. An example from the book would be him marrying Viola at the end. At that point in the book he starts to love her, and vice versa. Also from the book Olivia starts to fall head over heals for Cesario, showing that she in fact does have a capacity for love, just not with Orsino.
Explain how the theme of appearance vs. reality are appropriate and connected to this play. (meaning a logical explanation of the terms) Also, give 2 examples of how this theme is evident in the play. Appearance is what something or someone looks from the naked eye, which means seeing how something/someone is behaving and forming an opinion on what it is to you. In difference, reality means what is actually happening. For example watching a movie. To you, the actor is a character working, moving, or doing something else. But, in reality, that character is an actor trying to make money by pretending to be something that their not. Two pieces of evidence for this from the play is when Viola dresses up as a man named Cesario. In appearance, she is this man working for the Duke when in reality, Viola’s a woman trying to make money because she has no one else to make it for her. The other piece is when Malvolio dresses in yellow stocking and always smiles around Olivia. The appearance is that hes a madman when in reality Malvolio was sent a letter as a prank telling him to do this.
