Would one consider this fully a comedy? Most of the time it is passed off as a riveting comedy made to make even the most sour Shakespeare fans smile, but I sense a lot of tragedy within a seemingly hilarious plot. Shouldn’t one take into consideration the depressing fact that Viola feels that she has to disguise herself and her personality in order to get what she wants? As a recurring theme in this work, would Twelfth Night play out differently if based in these modern times of ours?
