Answer 2

"There is a fair behaviour in thee, captain; And though that nature with a beauteous wall Doth oft close in pollution, yet of thee I will believe thou hast a mind that suits With this thy fair and outward character"

This extract is taken from William Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night

Explanation:

• A young lady of the nobility named Viola swept on the Illyrian shore line. As she looks alone in a foreign place, she believes that Sebastian, her twin brother has drowned in the accident and has been trying to realize what kind of job she should do. A nice sea captain tells her about Olivia's courtship and Viola says she would like Olivia to work in Olivia’s home.
• It was at the time of requesting the captain, she says the captain the above lines (as mentioned in the extract)
• Viola says the captain that "You seem  a good person captain, and while people who look attractive always have a dishonest image inside, I think you a beautiful mind to go with your manners and good looks. Help me conceal my identity, and find me the perfect disguise so that I can look the way I want. I want to be this Duke’s servant"
• Viola loves Orsino, who loves Olivia and who loves Cesario, Viola's male disguise. The fact that neither Orsino nor Olivia realizes that Viola is really a woman complicates this love triangle.
• n connection with the themes of disguise, deception, and performance, Twelfth Night raises questions about the nature of  sexual and gender identity.
