Explanation:
Let's imagine for a second that a new guy comes to your school. He is witty, charming, and hilarious, and not to mention exceptionally good looking. He makes a great addition to your group of guy friends, and he listens to everything you say. Another cool thing about this guy is that he's great with the girls, too. That's great for you, since the girl you've had a crush on forever seems to think your new friend is really cool, and he can put in a good word for you. But, how would you feel to find out that your crush is in love with your new friend? To make matters worse, you then find out that your new homeboy is not a boy at all, but a girl, and she's in love with you. While this story sounds like a soap opera, it's actually the premise of William Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night, and that crazy story was what happens to Duke Orsino, when he hires a page named Cesario, who is actually noblewoman Viola in disguise. At the end of the play, like in most of Shakespeare's famous comedies, everything is revealed and there is a happy ending, and maybe even a wedding.
