1. JAYSON FT LIL WYNE DOWN (ORSINO)
Duke Orsino’s character is somehow short-lived and not deep as other key players.
However, Shakespeare ensured that he compensated his shortness with wanton satire which
makes the book a standard in romantic comedy category. What makes Orsino stand out is his
unrestrained quest for love which keeps on dodging him up until the conclusion play. The
first character trait of Orsino is that he is a romantic. Orsino’s life generally revolves around
winning a woman’s heart. He does not care what people perceive of him or how many times
he gets rejected. He persists to the very end in his pursuit of Olivia- the woman of his dreams.
Duke Orsino can be considered as a romantic man. He falls in love with the idea of being
loved and desires the stimulation and excitement of emotion. Although the character gets
controlled with his emotional state, he similarly recognises that love is so powerful . The
self-awareness he shows, even though limited, specifies that Orison has a logical and
emotional outlook of love(Shakespeare,pg 23). He want to rash to show Olivia that he loves
her, nonetheless he is not really sure she is right woman to settle with. He denounces love for
confronting him as animal which is hunted down,. This image also shows on the
characterization of love as Cupid,as the arrow tend to shoot whoever tend to love the shoter.
Orsino seems unrehearsed when a sincerely dominant emotion takes over him, when Viola
comes into the picture. The woman he admires also has a strong feeling for him .Duke
Orsino's type of love seems bizarre in that it is not an honest love, but just an obsession. he

This song depicts a show in love, someone who is able to stand strong despite the
situation he faces in order to win lover.Orsino compares himself to soldier also in the battle
of love where he fear getting shot at any time. Orsino is torn between the courtly or romantic
ideal of love, Orsino seems unrehearsed when a sincerely dominant emotion takes over him,
when Viola comes into the picture (Shakespeare,pg 67). The woman he admires also has a
strong feeling for him .Duke Orsino's type of love seems strange in that it is not an honest
love, but just an obsession. he appear to be more in love with impression of the self-
fulfilment he can gets from love but does prefer love in the first place. He openly has the
obsessiveness and real narcissi feelings.Orsino words in this act focuses more on himself as
well as the pain he is undergoing when under the influence of love,while giving less focus to
Olivia.
AEXES 2
Orsino knows how to play with is words and he is not shy to reveal his deep feelings for
Olivia. He accurately applies beautifully dialect to define his love, at times likening love with
flowers lovers and sweet songs. Even though accompanied by silliness, his engagements are
really very passionate. For example, while speaking to Curio he compares his yearnings to
cruel wolfhounds that that hunt him:

O, when mine eyes did see Olivia first,
Methought she purged the air of pestilence!
That instant was I turn’d into a hart;
And my desires, like fell and cruel hounds,
E’er since pursue me. (Act 1 Scene 1)
The song below matches with the Orsino vision of getting hunted by wolve in the Song Li
Wyne also put himself in a soldiers shoes and gets ready to fight foot the cause of love
(Herder and Moore,pg 4).
She cold, over-freeze, I got that girl from overseas
Now she my Miss America, now can I be her soldier, please?
Orsino is very obsessive about his love . He never gives up and keep sending different
people to convince her on his behalf accept him, however he gets disallowed. In act 1 , when
valentine notifies Orsino that Olivia is bereaving her departed brother for the next seven
years, he does not get discouraged, although he recognizes that it this is a trick to get him
discouraged . However receives the message with passion. He perceives her eccentric way of
lamentation, as a sign of devotion to Olivia;s family and states that the lady be a good lover
to the man she will eventually falls for:
