1. In Act II, when Malvolio says, "All is fortune," he means that everything that happens to a character is based on circumstanc

es that are out of the character's control. To what extent is Malvolio correct? In Twelfth Night, do the characters' fates depend more on outside circumstances or on their own traits and choices? Give examples from the text to support your answer.

To some extent Malvolio is correct in saying this, since many of the events in Twelfth Night are brought about by fate. Most of the confusion and humor in acts 4 and 5 (as soon as Sebastian really starts being part of the plot) occur because fate has brought Sebastian and Viola to the same place when neither thinks the other survived the shipwreck. It can be argued too, that the entire action of the play occurs only because Viola survived and came to Illyria. 

However, Twelfth Night really is more of a play that revolves around characters making certain choices and decisions. The stubbornness of them all. Olivia's refusal to entertain Orsino or to marry at all is what keeps Sir Andrew around, hoping one day she'll stop mourning and maybe marry him.  With him around Sir Toby can keep drinking and that crew, out of boredom, spite, and need for entertainment creates the Malvolio subplot. Orsino's stubbornness and refusal to take Olivia's 'no' for an answer is why Viola gets mixed up in that world. If Orsino had given up he would never have sent Viola, Olivia wouldn't have fallen in love with Cesario, and much of the play would not have happened. While fate does play some part in the action, it is the characters' actions and decisions that really move the plot forward.

<span>"The man therefore read it, and looking upon Evangelist very carefully, said, Whither must I fly?" This shows that the central character is willing to go the path that Evangelist advises him to, it's something that he feels he wants and must do.</span>
<span>
"Then said Evangelist, 'Keep that light in your eye, and go up directly thereto:<span> so shalt thou see the gate; at which, when thou knockest, it shall be told thee what thou shalt do.'" This shows that the central character is willing to follow Evangelist's instruction because of both the character's name and where he is saying he should head.

I think this is the answer, it's along the lines of what I would put. Hope it helps!

Identify the steps to Eurylochus plan for the cattle
Firdavs [7]

Answer with Explanation:

After the Trojan War, Odysseus planned to go back home. Together with him was his second-in-command, Eurylochus (a cowardly man) Upon their return, they stopped over a mythological island called "Aeaea." This was the home of an enchantress named "Circe." So, instead of greeting Circe, Eurylochos stayed away and knew her treachery. He told Odysseus that the crew were turned into pigs, so Odysseus went to rescue his men. This started a fight between Eurylochos and Odysseus after he successfully saved his men from Circe. This ended in reconciliation and Circe telling Odysseus to seek advice from Tiresias<em> (a blind prophet of Apollo). </em>

The prophet told Odysseus that they shouldn't touch the "Cattle of Helios" or the "Oxen of the Sun." However, the crew were already hungry. Thus, Eurylochus convinced them to eat the cattle while Odysseus was asleep. He told the crew how better it would be to be killed by the gods rather than by hunger and thus, they believed him. They killed the cattle and ate them. Because of this, Zeus became very angry and destroyed their ship.

Everyone was killed except Odysseus <u>(the only survivor</u>).

aleksandr82 [10.1K]
Many people found it disturbing because of the methods that he suggested for staying in power as a ruler. One example can be when he says that if you take down a king, you have numerous options what to do with his family. He further says that although there are many ways to handle them, history has proven that the most effective is to kill everyone, which made the people call him evil or much worse. He does not however state that this is his belief, but rather that this is what successful rulers throughout history did, so it's kind of a misunderstanding.
