"If music be the food of love, play on, / Give me excess of it; that surfeiting, / The appetite may sicken, and so die." (I, i, 1-3)

"This fellow is wise enough to play the fool, / And to do that well craves a type of wit. / He must observe the mood on whom he jests, / The quality of the persons, and the time" (III, i, 61-64)

"Madman though errest. I say there is no darkness / but ignorance, In which though art more puzzled than / the Egyptians in their fog. (IV, ii, 44-46)

"Cesario, come, / For so you shall be while you are a man. / But who in other habits you are scene, / Orsino's mistress, and his fancy's queen." (V, i, 408-411)

This quote at the beginning of the play shows how Orsino uses music to fill his appetite for love. Orsino loves Olivia, but she doesn't love him. Because of this, the duke is forced to find alternative forms of love, including music.

This quote from Viola shows that while people refer to Feste the clown as a fool, he is actually one of the play's smartest characters.

# data[].attributes.body
This quote from Feste the clown, disguised as Sir Topas, is directed towards Malvolio. This line in particular is the closest Malvolio gets to believing that he is actually mad. In reality, it is all an elaborate prank pulled off by Maria and Sir Toby.

# data[].attributes.body
This quote from Orsino comes at the end of the play when he finds out Cesario is actually Viola. Although he has just found out she is a woman, he is proposing to marry her.

Music and love play a big role in this play. The duke listens to music throughout the play in order to feel some sort of love. In addition, music introduces Feste the clown, who sings for both the duke and Olivia.

# data[].attributes.body
Feste the clown is commonly looked down upon by the people in Olivia's house. This is the only point in the play where anyone realizes how smart Feste actually is. In the end, he uses his wit to trick Malvolio into believing he is mad.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the part where Feste shows his wit. He twists Malvolio's words until Malvolio himself, a man with more pride than a gay parade, to contemplate the reality that he is actually mad.

# data[].attributes.body
It seems odd that Orsino falls in love with Viola so quickly. Beforehand, he professed his undying love for Olivia, only to fall in love with the next woman he met. This makes him seem a little less romantic than before.

"O, you are sick of self-love, Malvolio, and taste / with a distemper'd appetite. To be generous, guiltless, / and free of disposition, is to take those things / for bird-bolts that you deem cannon-bullets." (I, v, 89-92)

"Disguise, I see though art a wickedness / Wherein the pregnant enemy does much. / How easy it is for the proper-false / in women's waxen hearts to set their forms." (II, ii, 27-30)

"Why have though suffered me to be imprisoned, / Kept in a dark house, visited by the priest, / And made the most notorious geck and gull / That e'er invention played on? Tell me why!" (V, i, 363-366)

"For though my soul disputes well my sense, / That this may be some error, but no madness, / Yet doth this accident and flood of fortune / So far exceed all instance, all discourse, / That I am ready to distrust mine eyes" (IV, iii, 9-13)

# data[].attributes.body
This quote from Olivia shows that it is easy to see Malvolio is very vain, and that he often twists reality to favor his outlook of life.

# data[].attributes.body
This quote from Viola comes after she finds out Olivia has fallen in love with her after she dresses as a man named Cesario. While her disguise has worked well in gaining the duke's trust, it has also lead to some unintended consequences.

# data[].attributes.body
This quote from Malvolio shows how he was treated in Maria and Sir Toby's prank. It is at this moment that the Fabian (who was in on the prank) realizes that this has gone too far. Subsequently, he tells Olivia the truth about the prank.

# data[].attributes.body
This quote from Sebastian comes when Olivia tells him that she wants to get married. In reality, she is mistaking Sebastian with Cesario. Sebastian begins to question why Olivia is being so forward with him, but still does nothing to stop the wedding.

# data[].attributes.body
Later in the play, Malvolio's vanity is what causes him to get pranked. He twisted the words in the letter to please him, which lead to his downfall.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the first instance in the play where Viola's disguise causes confusion, a theme that would constantly reappear.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the first time in the play where one of the characters genuinely feels bad for Malvolio. The prank went too far and they finally realize it.

# data[].attributes.body
This is another instance where disguise causes confusion. In addition, it adds to the theme of madness. Sebastian begins to question whether or not this is real because how good it is going for him.
