「Malvolio Swears Revenge on Everyone」を読み解く

What's really going on

The play resolves itself and leaves one wound open. Fabian's confession is generous — he admits the trick, names Maria as its author, and even reports the marriage that grew out of it — but it cannot undo what Malvolio endured. His exit line, 'I'll be revenged on the whole pack of you!', refuses the happy ending the others are arranging; he is the only character who walks away uncured. Feste answers with a proverb instead of an apology: 'the whirligig of time brings in his revenges,' as if time, not the jokers, will settle scores. Olivia, to her credit, calls him 'most notoriously abused' and sends after him. The comedy ends with weddings promised and one angry man hounding the door, and the play lets both stand.

Theme

And thus the whirligig of time brings in his revenges.

Feste's proverb: time turns like a wheel, and eventually brings everyone the payback they deserve.

And some have greatness thrown upon them.

Feste's mocking twist on the letter's line: Malvolio's 'greatness' was merely thrown on him as a joke.

Alas, poor fool, how have they baffled thee?

A pitying remark about Malvolio, that the plotters have made a complete fool of him.

He hath been most notoriously abused.

このシーンについての質問

Who confesses the trick?

Fabian admits that he and Toby set the device against Malvolio, and that Maria wrote the letter. He also reveals that Toby married Maria as her reward.

He learns the whole thing was a joke at his expense. Refusing any apology, he leaves with 'I'll be revenged on the whole pack of you!'

Who says the line about the whirligig of time?

Feste, the clown, closes the matter with it after Malvolio storms out, suggesting that time itself will eventually settle the score.
