Shakespeare’s Use of Disguise in The Twelfth Night

Use of Disguise in "The Twelfth Night":


Shakespeare was master-craftsman who has displayed great skill in the technique of the use of disguise. We find his mastery over this technique in The Merchant of Venice, As you Like It and The Twelfth Night. In The Twelfth Night Viola is the only character who assumes a disguise and her disguise affects all the other characters in the play profoundly. Her disguise is the real moving force of the main plot of this play.
