#TWELFTH NIGHT BOOK SUMMARY FULL#
I gave this book a full 5 out of 5 Dragons. Book Summary Twelfth Night Acts 1 started when aristocratic Viola was unfortunately involved in a shipwreck on the Coast of Illyria. I thoroughly enjoyed this play and it only took me a few hours to read. Sebastian’s part is small in comparison to Viola’s but still vital to the story. I loved the character of Viola, trying to survive in a man’s world and at the same time falling in love with a man who she cannot go near without blowing her disguise.
