How I Relate to Viola
While reading the play I realized that I can relate to Viola on a few things. Although I've never had to dress as a man for something, I can relate to her. Like Viola, I am a hard worker and when something needs to get done I am the one that will do whatever it takes to ensure that it gets done. I also stick up for myself as she does, I don't let anyone push me around or tell me what to do because I am my own person and can make my own decisions.
Unlike Viola, I cannot hide my feelings, whether it be romantic or just my thoughts or opinions in general, I have to tell someone, I can't keep it in like she proved she can. I'm not as brave as she is, I wouldn't be able to lie to so many people and not break under their intense stare, I would give it all away in an instant.
Although this wasn't required to write, I will say that I could see myself being friends with Viola if she were a real person today. I say this because I like making personal connections with the characters in the things I read, it makes it easier to read.
