-Secrets, lies, veil, disguises, delude...
2. Where is the data you retrieved found? What is happening in context when Shakespeare employs this particular theme or image?
-there is no specific point in Shakespeare's play "Twelfth Night" in which you should look for secrets and deception, because it is truly everywhere. Every action made, every sentence spoken can be found to be full of delusions. One of the main occurrences in which there is an obvious use of the thematic strand in question is Viola's disguise as Cesario, which eventually causes the chain of events that occur.
3. How does the data you retrieved support your first thoughts on Shakespeare’s obsessive use of a particular image? What can you argue about Shakespeare’s figuration?
-My thematic strand can conclude that Shakespeare is obsessed with drama and scandal, and especially the deceit that comes with it. Everyone is always lying and playing tricks on one another throughout the play; he wanted to create this dark world of mystery and secrets in what seemed like a pretty bright and happy one.
