Twelfth Night

Recently I've been reading Twelfth Night, by Shakespeare. The story takes place in the fantastical country of Illyria, a fictional country where love, instead of logic, rules. "But the Illyria of Twelfth Night is a head-over-heels land of fantasy, where everyone seems to be at least a touch mad. Love, in this play, comes dangerously close to delusion." (Introduction, 15).  This quote describes the comedy in the play. Everyone thinks they are in love with someone else, even if it is a delusion or the person they love does not love them back. While the Elizabethan English can be hard to understand, the play is definitely worth a read if you are interested in comedies.
