I found it interesting that Professor Kitch raised a question about the relation between Shakespeare’s sonnets and Twelfth Night. While reading, Viola says to Olivia, “Lady, you are the cruell’st she alive if you lead these graces to the grave and leave the world no copy” (1058). The theme of sonnets 1-10 are prominent in this conversation. Viola tries to convince Olivia to marry Orsino and have a child to reproduce her beauty. Olivia does not understand Viola and replies, “I will give out divers schedules of my beauty. It shall be inventoried…” In this scene, Olivia is the young man from sonnets 1-10, while Viola is used as a mouthpiece to reinforce Shakespeare’s beliefs.
