970 words (approx. 3.9 pages) | 1 source | MLA | 2003 United States


Paper Summary:

This paper briefly discusses how Shakespeare uses his character's actions and deeds to portray the message of foolery. It focuses on the character of Malvolio and how he especially represents this aspect. Malvolio's character represents a type of self-delusional foolery that we can laugh at and learn from.

From the Paper:

"Malvolio's treatment is a direct result of his own egotism. Malvolio is so wrapped up in his own importance that he cannot see the importance of anyone or anything else around him. Shakespeare cleverly uses Malvolio's situation to prove how such an egotist can terribly misconceive his world and those around him. Malvolio's pride makes him a perfect target of a prank."
