Romeo And Juliet Love Duke Orsino

141 Words1 Pages
The “lady” Cesario suggests is Viola, which is herself. Viola truly loves Duke Orsino, but the fact that Duke Orsino brushes Cesario with the remark shows that Duke Orsino is narrow-minded. Duke Orsino emotionally hurts Viola’s unrequited love towards him. It is only until Duke Orsino realizes that Cesario is a female that he actually considers her a partner. Duke Orsino expresses: Cesario, come ‒ For you shall be while you are a man, But when in other habits you are seen, Orsino’s mistress and his fancy’s queen. (V.1.378-381) Duke Orsino is not used to viewing Cesario as a female even though they are engaged. However, it is difficult to know whether Duke Orsino loves Cesario or Viola, which may pose some problems in their relationship.
