He took his actions to protect something he normally doesn't get to feel, intelligence and acceptance as everyone came to him for advice. Throughout the play Feste's disguises were revealed during different occasions but he was able to adjust making him to be well developed. Festes is playing a risky game to protect his identity so others don't see him as the fool but the temptation is too great. You have to think to yourself, even if he is caught is it he that looks like a fool or the others for being tricked into listening and going about his advice that truly are the fools? I believe people use this mask in everyday life because of not accomplishing goals or achieving dreams. Something like this would make them feel like a fool so they take the identity or persona of what they a dreamt they would be like and play the part. The other character I enjoyed would have to be the lead in Viola who disguises herself as a gentleman in order to achieve the goal of finding her brother. It's quite comical when she swings between the two personalities in character and emotion. She must hide her feelings for Cesario until she finds her brother. With using the male identity she is able to get closer and secure a job after a near drowning. Having the female insight she is able assist Orinso to fall in love and facilitate his understanding of the true meaning. It's important to see that Shakespeare shows that women are also capable of doing what a man can do by playing both roles. The point is for the readers to see the importance of taking off the masks that have shadowed our real identities in our lives.

Viola not only carries a physical mask with her hiding in men's clothing but also, she masks her love for Orsino while acting as his servant. This masking caused many problems for Viola. She was forced to hide her feelings for Orsino and try to get Olivia to accept his love, which turned around on her when Olivia fell in love with Cesario (which apparently happened their first meeting). After Cesario leaves, Olivia questions her feelings for Cesario, “Unless the master were the man How now? /Even so quickly may one catch the plague? / Methinks I feel this youth's perfections /With an invisible and subtle stealth /To creep in at mine eyes" (I, V,268-272). Viola's mask was difficult, but it turned out to be the best thing that could have happened, for both her and her brother. Malvolio is a character that starts out hiding his mask but changes as the play goes on. He appears to have a small role in the play at first, just a servant to Olivia who is uptight and a little bit boring, trying to put an end to everyone's fun. In Act 2, scene 3, Sir Toby says to Malvolio that he is nothing more than a servant because he is such a goody two shoes he thinks he can rain on everyone else's parade. When Maria, Sir Andrew, and Sir Toby have had enough of Malvolio's starchy nature they devise a prank to fool him into thinking Olivia is in love with him. Using his own arrogance and conceit, they plan to write a letter that looks like it is from Olivia, confessing her love for a man that meets Malvolio's description. Through this prank, we see that Malvolio has been hiding his true self. It's not a love for Olivia that drives him, it's a love of the position he would inherit should he marry her. His mask hid his desire to become more than he is, he sees himself as royalty, or deserving of the royal position as 'Count Malvolio?. Malvolio then puts on another mask, following the instruction in the letter, he becomes mean and condescending to the help' and dresses as the letter instructs, yellow stockings and crisscross laces up his legs. Smiling the entire time, which is also very unlike him. "I will be proud, I will read politic authors, I will baffle Sir Toby, I will wash off gross acquaintance, I will be point-devise the very man. I do not now fool myself, to let imagination jade me, for every reason excites to this, that my lady loves me. She did commend my yellow stockings of late, she did praise my leg being cross-gartered” (II, V, 146-151). Malvolio was played for a fool and his true colors were shown. His mask of conceit and arrogance was replaced with a mask that followed every detail of the letter he thought had been written by Olivia, making him even harder to tolerate... if possible. Masks are everywhere today. With social media as it is, everyone is hiding behind something. Lives can be changed by people we've never even met, everyone is outspoken and trying to be tough when they hide behind phones and computers. It's the age of the virtual mask.
