Olivia

__Biography:__

Olivia is in mourning because of her father's death, as well as her brother's death, which is not yet confirmed. Later on, Olivia locked herself up in her room for fear that if she loved another man, he too, would die just like her father and brother. She is basically scared of falling in love again, because she realizes that everything she loves and gets close to, ends up dying. Orsino loves Olivia, but she refuses to see anybody because she locked herself up in her bedroom. This completely denies any chance that Orsino ever had with her. Olivia is prepared to stay locked in her room for seven years. She soon falls in love with Viola/Cesario when she comes to talk to her because Olivia thinks Viola is a guy, but she's not. However, she develops a genius plan. She will send a messenger after Viola to give her a ring that she says is Viola's, but it is really hers and Viola will be forced to bring it back. Little does she know that Viola is a girl. Since Viola is a girl and not interested in other women, Olivia gets the impression that Cesario is gay.

She has also never had alcohol. Olivia loves Viola/Cesario but it is really just a girl dressed as a guy because she needed a job. She also hates the color yellow and thinks that crossed garters are out of fashion. Olivia thinks that Cesario is a gay man, but she really is a straight woman.Viola told Cesario to get a beard for once. when Cesario said that he didn't have feelings for Olivia, she tried to act like it didn't bother her and everything was fine when she really wasn't. She feels that she just had made a gay man straight and made him love her, thinking its Cesario. She believes Sebastian is Cesario, so when Sebastian comes to Olivia's castle, she asks him to marry her. Therefore, they are getting married even though they don't know each other. This is actually good, because if she had married Viola, then she would be marrying a girl, and I'm pretty sure she's straight. Olivia also finally tells Sir Toby Belch to stop messing around with people's heads.

__**Quotations:**__ "Oh, you are sick of self-love."  Fie on him!"  "Fetch him off, I pray you. He speaks nothing but madman."

 "Unless the master were the man. How now? Even so quickly may one catch the plague?"

 Olivia is in love with Ceasrio/Viola.  Ceasrio/Viola does not love her back

 Olivia is very sneaky. She tells her servant that Cesario left a ring here and that he needs to return.  Olivia now thinks that Ceasrio/Viola is a gay man, and is waiting for him to change his alignment.  "Even so quickly may one catch the plague?"  "Oh, i have read it; it is heresy."  " What is decreed must be, and be this so"

 "Cesario, by the roses of the spring,  By maidhood, honor, truth, and everything,  I love thee so, that, maugre all thy pride, <span style="font-family: Helvetica,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> Nor wit nor reason can my passion hide. <span style="font-family: Helvetica,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> Do not extort thy reasons from this clause, <span style="font-family: Helvetica,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> For that I woo, thou therefore hast no cause, <span style="font-family: Helvetica,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> But rather reason thus with reason fetter.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> She wishes that Orsino didn't love her <span style="font-family: Helvetica,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> " <span style="font-family: Helvetica,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> For him, I think not on him. For his thoughts, <span style="font-family: Helvetica,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> Would they were blanks, rather than fill’d with me"

<span style="font-family: Helvetica,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> Love sought is good, but given unsought better."

<span style="font-family: Helvetica,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> Olivia then thinks that Cesario is gay, he says to her that a women would ever win his heart so she assumes he is gay.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> "O, by your leave, I pray you, <span style="font-family: Helvetica,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> I bade you never speak again of him. <span style="font-family: Helvetica,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> But, would you undertake another suit, <span style="font-family: Helvetica,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> I had rather hear you to solicit that <span style="font-family: Helvetica,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> Than music from the spheres."

<span style="font-family: Helvetica,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> "Give me leave, beseech you. I did send, <span style="font-family: Helvetica,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> After the last enchantment you did here, <span style="font-family: Helvetica,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> A ring in chase of you. So did I abuse <span style="font-family: Helvetica,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> Myself, my servant, and, I fear me, you: <span style="font-family: Helvetica,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> Under your hard construction must I sit, <span style="font-family: Helvetica,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> To force that on you, in a shameful cunning <span style="font-family: Helvetica,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> Which you knew none of yours.

Love’s night is noon."

<span style="font-family: Helvetica,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> "Yet come again, for thou perhaps mayst move <span style="font-family: Helvetica,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> That heart, which now abhors, to like his love."

<span style="font-family: Helvetica,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> In Act 3, Malvolio starts acting weird in front of Olivia and Maria because he thinks that she wrote a love letter him. <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"> Cesario also comes to see Olivia again, and she tries to give him a necklace and tries to bribe him to love her. <span style="font-family: Helvetica,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Olivia also tells Cesario that she is miserable because he doesn't love her. He replied that now she knows how Orsino feels.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> "Will it be ever thus? Ungracious wretch,

<span style="font-family: Helvetica,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> "I prithee, gentle friend,

Beshrew his soul for me! <span style="font-family: Helvetica,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> He started one poor heart of mine in thee."

<span style="font-family: Helvetica,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> "Then lead the way, good father; and heavens so shine <span style="font-family: Helvetica,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> That they may fairly note this act of mine."

<span style="font-family: Helvetica,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> - Olivia told Malvolio in this quote that she didn't write the letter and it was in Maria's handwriting.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> "My lord so please you, these things further thought on, To think me as well a sister as a wife, One day shall crown the alliance on ’t, so please you, Here at my house and at my proper cost."
