Re: Alas, Poor Antonio

Natalie I think you are raising an important point here. To me, the love Antonio expresses for Sebastian seems to me to be acceptable based on class-differences that appear throughout the play. Antonio as a person of a lower class than Sebastian adores him and the love of a servant for his master seems to be more acceptable. For example, nobody really questions Cesario’s love for Orsino because this is also a master-servant relationship.
