twins...?

Sebastian and Viola... twins

I was thinking of parallels of sebastian and Viola in the play and this is what i came up with

1) in both the ring speech and the ayre monologue they don't make a final decision they both leave it up to time or whatever. they present a problem and then sort of shrug it off and leave it for later.

2) they both take on new relationships as soon as losing the most important relationship to them... i.e. sebastian for Viola and Vic versa. they don't give themselves time to grieve they just slingshot into something else and put the death of their twin to the back of their head.

3) they fling themselves whole heartedly into split second decisions. When Viola decides to dress up like a man and when Sebastian say's he will go and then later marry Olivia.

4) they both have a sort of sexual relationship with both a man and a woman in the play. while Viola may not want to kiss Olivia she still plays a part in a homosexual relationship. While Sebastian has Anthonio.


I guess this shakespeare guy new what he was doing...

p.s. i'd like it to be known that these are my thoughts and not Katies... she may have completely different feelings about this.
