Re-read 1.5, and when you re-read focus on the character of Feste.  Answer these questions in your next blog post:  (Don’t forget to link back to this blog!)

  1. How long do you think he has been in Olivia’s household?
  2. Is Feste a carefree fool with no troubles?
  3. Does he have a brain?
  4. If you were a director of this play either on stage or in film, who would you cast for Feste?  (Someone you know? A Hollywood actor? Your brother?)  How would you costume him/ her?
  5. Find some clues in the script that suggest action for Feste — particularly action that brings out the sillyness and merry-making in Feste’s nature.  If you were a director, what would you want the Fool to be doing physically in this scene?
