Analyzing Viola
By : Alyssa Herrera
Viola's Idenitity
Viola is a brave, confident, strong, intelligent and loyal person. She is brave because she was the one that came up the idea on how to take care of herself and that was to dress, act, talk, look like a young servant boy. Most people those days would not even think such a thing. Viola is confident because she believed in herself and in her idea. Without confidents her idea would not have worked as well as it did. Viola is intelligent because she came up with the brilliant idea and knew exactly what to say, do and how to do it. Viola is very loyal because she did not have one but multiple opportunities to hurt or be disloyal to not only Duke her master but also Olivia in a way. Olivia had asked her to love her and date her and instead of telling Duke and hurting him and disown Olivia she kept it to herself to stop drama, confusion and heartbreaks. A quote to support this " I'll serve this Duke." (Act one scene two, 52)
