Twelfth Night - Social Class

So I think Auguecheek stays with Toby at first on a whim. But I think he realized he had a chance with Olivia, he wanted to stay to try and move up in class. But in the beginning, he definitely was there just to party and hang out with his drinking buddy. I think this is due to his sudden change of mind.

It's easy: Malvolio's a dick and he doesn't treat any of the other people well. He orders them around as if he's better than them, and doesn't respect them.

I think Malvolio, like Auguecheek, was only into Olivia for the status. Maybe he thought they would get married, but that obviously wasn't going to happen. If he married her, he would've had the power he thought he had over Toby, Maria, and Auguecheek. Or he would've been rich af and that's why.

Orsino says that Sebastian's blood is pure because he has enough class to marry Olivia. It matters because, at this time, it wasn't legal to marry outside of your social class. At this time it was all about social class, which is why it's important that Sebastian's blood is pure.

  1. I disagree about the series of events that lef to Aguecheek coming and staying. I think that he was originally summoned as a suitor for Olivia and stayed because he like hanging with Toby. He even knows that he doesn't have a chance with Olivia and offers to leave but Toby wills him to stay. Either way they are gay for each other for sure. I totally agree that Malvolio has power issues and tends to condescend people in the house. No wonder everyone hates the dude. Great blog! i agree with the rest of ur points! Much luv

  2. Dylan look, I agree with your points but I really wish you would have backed them up more. Your answers are pretty opinionated which is understandable I do the same thing. Just maybe more facts man. Other than that you did do a good job expresses your points personally. That was great. Good job Dylan.

  4. I really agree with what Keaton said, if you are going to have really opiniated answers I think that you should back it up. I can easily just shut it down because I don't agree with you and I could use textual support. If you add that support you will make it perfect. I also want to add that I think Asscheek and Belch could be down to clown if some gay stuff comes up.
