Samuel Beckett

One of the most important French playwrights of the 18th century, w r i t i n g n u m e r o u s comedies for the C o m e d i e F r a n ç a i s e and also the C o m é d i eItalienne of Paris

This fantastic embroidery of language has a certain charm, and suits the somewhat unreal gallantry and sensibility which it describes and exhibits. Marivaux possessed, moreover, both thought and observation, besides considerable command of pathos

La commerePierre Carlet de Chamblain de Marivaux

Viola is shipwrecked on the coast of Illyria She loses contact with her twin brother, Sebastian,

Disguising herself as a young man under the name Cesario she enters the service of Duke Orsino

Orsino has convinced himself that he is in love with Olivia, Olivia’s father and brother have died, and she refuses to see any suitor

Orsino then uses ‘Cesario’ as an intermediary to profess his passionate love Olivia falls in love with ‘Cesario’, as she does not realise ‘he’ is Viola in disguise.

In the meantime, Viola has fallen in love with Orsino.

Meanwhile...

He takes a shaving razor and hands it to her and the play ends as she walks through the door with it, presumably to commit suicide

Memories are killing. So you must not think of certain things, of those that are dear to you, or rather you must think of them, for if you don’t there is the danger of find-ing them, in your mind, little by little.
