Free Write - Act 2. iii. 170

In II. iii. 170, Maria calls her scheme to manipulate and embarrass Malvolio "Sport royal..."
-What do you make of this?

I don't think it's a bad thing that Maria wants to embarrass Malvolio. Malvolio is very bossy and thinks very highly of himself - which can be very annoying to others. Maria is simply playing a joke on Malvolio to get back at him for being to conceited. "Sport royal" is like the entertainment Maria is going to get out of her scheme.

  1. Marias action in this scheme kind of shows a lack of respect for Olivia. What would Olivia do if she ever found out Maria forged a letter on behalf of Olivia. i dont think she'd find it funny, or maybe she would but i dont think she'll have a sense of humor between the mourning of her brother and the lust she has for Cesario.
