i mean it is insane behavior to marry someone you just met because they’re mistaking you for someone else but sebastian does make a real effort at rationalizing that decision, which is more than you can say for any of the other characters in the play besides viola, who has to stay very cognizant of not being too insane in public for her own well-being

#he also very much DID ditch antonio #like the play frames it as a mix up because viola didn’t recognize him but sebastian still did ditch him and didn’t meet him like he agreed #anyway #olivia seems normal at first but she’s also a fucking weirdo #she lets feste hang around and lets toby do whatever he wants and gets really intense about everything she feels #when she mourns her brother it’s a seven year affair of no visitors and committed depression #when she meets a guy she likes she decides she’s in love with him and chases him all around town and tries to marry him immediately #she’s very competent and like sebastian says can hold command of her household etc #but does she though. this whole business with malvolio happened right under her nose. feste is right she’s the fool!#love her but she is the fool #muppet behavior. she’s played by miss piggy in the muppets version that exists in my brain #twelfth night
