「Viola and Sebastian Are Revealed」を読み解く

What's really going on

The last confusion is the happiest one: the two people Olivia and Orsino thought they were dealing with turn out to be the same person, and no one is worse off for it. Viola's line — 'you have been mistook' — is gentle, not triumphant; she explains that 'nature to her bias drew,' as if the whole mix-up were a return to the right order. Orsino's phrase for it, 'this most happy wreck,' captures the play's mood: a shipwreck, a storm of errors, ending in marriages instead of losses. The comedy then hands the last word to Feste, who reads Malvolio's angry letter in a mad voice and jokes that he is only 'reading madness' — the play refusing to end on a purely solemn note.

Theme

IdentityThe twins stand together and Viola explains that Olivia married the brother of the woman she thought she was.
DeceptionEven the final prank ends in a joke: Feste reads Malvolio's complaint in a mad voice for Olivia's amusement.

このチャプターで学べること

  • Mistook is the older past participle of mistake.
  • A happy wreck is a fortunate disaster, an oxymoron in one phrase.
  • Weeds can mean clothes, not plants.
  • Durance means confinement, not patience.

発音のポイント

  • Be not — Hit both Be and not, stressing the not.
  • do but read — Weaken do to duh, keep read strong.
  • as you please — Link as you as a-zha, then hold please.
So comes it, lady, you have been mistook.

Viola gently tells Olivia she has mistaken one twin for the other; the confusion is now explained.

I shall have share in this most happy wreck.

Orsino's paradox: this tangle of errors is a joyful 'wreck,' and he wants his part in it.

Think of me as you please.

Malvolio's defiant close to his letter: he no longer cares how Olivia judges him.

You are betrothed both to a maid and man.

Viola's key line: Olivia is engaged to a woman and a man at once, because the twins are one and the same in appearance.

Look then to be well edified when the fool delivers the madman.

Feste's joke before reading: Olivia should prepare to be 'edified' when a fool reads out a madman's letter.

このシーンについての質問

How is the mix-up finally explained?

Viola and Sebastian appear together, and Viola tells Olivia she has been 'mistook' — betrothed to a woman and a man at once, since the twins look identical.

What does 'this most happy wreck' mean?

It is Orsino's phrase for the whole confusion: a shipwreck of errors that ends happily in marriage and reunion rather than loss.

Why is Malvolio brought in?

Viola remembers that he is in 'durance' and had the captain arrested. Olivia orders him released and fetched so his complaint can be heard.

Why does Feste read the letter strangely?

He reads it in a mad voice, claiming he is only 'reading madness.' Olivia objects, and he answers that he is reading in his right wits — for a madman.

What is Malvolio angry about?

He says he was shut in darkness and mistreated on the strength of a letter he believed was Olivia's. He swears the truth will come out.
