Twelfth Night


Curio Will you go hunt my lord?

Orsino What, Curio?

Curio The hart (deer)

Orsino Why, so I do, the noblest that I have.
O, when mine eyes did see Olivia first,
Me thought she purged the air of pestilence.
(disease)
That instant was I turned into a hart,
and my desires, like fell and cruel hounds,
E'er since pursue me.

Shakespeare can be difficult to read, but once you translate, It can be a very good read. It is also very romantic, with all of the pretty wordings, and the people falling in love most of the time.
Olivia, a countess, is loved by Orsino, a count. She doesn't love him back. She loves his servent. Orsino's servent just happens to be a girl in disguise. The servent loves Orsino. From then on it is a messy tangle of personal emotions, and people being mistaken.
I read this play this weekend. It was wonderful. I hope they make a movie based on it. It would make a good movie.
