New post

First off i would like to say that strep throat sucks and the wellness center at hofstra has new clue as to what is giong on in the world.
With that said, onto the real assignment.
we were asked to use this concordance thing to look up words and see how they were used in twelfth night. I chose three words (light, love and youth) but youth came up as the most interesting to me. Actually there was one line in which Orsino tells Cesario (viola) that a woman should marry someone older than herself so that they will be matched emotionally.
I am not sure if there is a direct correlation between that concept and youth but whatever it made me think of the word youth so i looked up.
Unless someone was being addressed as a youth in the play, youth was usually linked with positive connotations.
"OLIVIA Your lord does know my mind; I cannot love him:
Yet I suppose him virtuous, know him noble,
Of great estate, of fresh and stainless youth;"

I am pretty sure that one of the reasons that Olivia loves Cesario so much is because of his youth and the fact that he is 'fresh and pure and virtuous'.
