Twelfth Night; or, What You Will by William Shakespeare William Hazlitt on Twelfth Night: This is justly considered as one of the most delightful of Shakespear's comedies. It is full of sweetness and pleasantry. It is perhaps too good-natured for comedy. It has little satire, and no spleen. It aims at the ludicrous rather than the ridiculous. It makes us laugh at the follies of mankind, not despise them, and still less bear any ill-will towards them. Shakespear's comic genius resembles the bee rather in its power of extracting sweets from weeds or poisons, than in leaving a sting behind it. He gives the most amusing exaggeration of the prevailing foibles of his characters, but in a way that they themselves, instead of being offended at, would almost join in to humour; he rather contrives opportunities for them to shew themselves off in the happiest lights, than renders them contemptible in the perverse construction of the wit or malice of others. William Winter ("Shadows of the Stage", iii, 28, from 1892) on "Illyria": It is even more difficult to assign a place and a period for Twelfth Night than it is to localise As You Lihe It. Illyria, — now Dalmatia, Croatia, and Bosnia, — was a Roman province, a hundred and sixty-seven years before Christ. In Shakespeare's time, Dalmatia was under the rule of the Venetian republic. The custom has long prevailed of treating the piece as a romantic and poetic picture of Venetian manners in the seventeenth century. Some stage managers have used Greek dresses. For the purposes of the stage, there must be a 'local habitation.' For a reader, the scene of Twelfth Night is the elusive and evanescent, but limitless and immortal, land of dreams. (Less)
