» Jennifer_Alpeche - Question #1 for March 11-15, 2004

The answer was the second choice:

One face, one voice, one habit, and two persons,
A natural perspective, that is and is not.

From Twelfth Night, Act V, Scene 1, Lines 208-9.

This takes place at the end of the play when Duke Orsino, Olivia, and others witness the reunion of twin brother and sister, Sebastian and Viola. This marks a resolution for all involved, with Viola able to be with Duke Orsino and Olivia with Sebastion.

Its happy ending is a definite contrast to the tragedy found at the end of Hamlet:

O villany! Ho! Let the door be locked!
Treachery, seek it out.

Act V, Scene 2, Lines 254-5.

Well, at least I can say that I still remember my Shakespeare a little. Just knew that choice two wasn't from Hamlet.

Yay, Elizabeth. That's so great! I love how he writes, how he puts things, and looking through the plays, there are these lines that just stand out-like. Lines that you know, even without having read the entire play. It's so remarkable. These plays can never be exhausted.

Thank you for visiting. I'm thinking about what the next question will be. More like a poll, I think. Like favorite character or something like that, and then we'll come back to the lines. I'm also thinking about my article. Lots to plan for and think about, which is what's so cool, *g*.
