Twelfth Night. Olivia's character (Shakespeare)?
Twelfth Night Viola Character Analysis For most critics, Viola is one of Shakespeare's most delightful and beloved feminine creations from his comedies. Surrounded by characters who express the extremes of emotionalism and melancholy — that is, Viola is caught between Duke Orsino's extreme melancholy and Lady Olivia's aggressive emotionalism — yet she represents the norm of behavior in this strange world of Illyria. Due to her circumstances, she is, first of all, a very practical and resourceful person. As a shipwrecked orphan who has no one to protect her, she must resort to some means whereby her safety is assured. She knows that a single woman unattended in a foreign land would be in an extremely dangerous position. Consequently, she evaluates the sea captain's character, finds it suitable, and wisely places her trust in him; then she disguises herself as a boy so that she will be safe and have a man's freedom to move about without protection. Consequently, Viola is immediately seen to be quick-witted enough to evaluate her situation, of sound enough judgment to recognize the captain's integrity, resourceful enough to conceive of the disguise, and practical enough to carry out this design.

Who are the real life "fixers" in Washington DC? Are there any Olivia Popes (and stories to boot) in DC now?
The Scandal (TV series) character Olivia Pope is based primarily on Judy Smith, one of the co-executive producers of the ABC series:[1]Shonda Rhimes, the creator and writer of ABC's "Scandal," "Grey's Anatomy" and "Private Practice," based Pope's character on crisis manager Judy Smith. Smith is also the show's co-executive producer."What I really try to do is help people that have problems and issues," Smith told ABC News in a recent interview. "They could be big or small. [I] help corporations, associations and individuals. ... We really try to help to develop a communications strategy that will help protect their reputation and their brand as they navigate through the crisis."Like Olivia Pope on "Scandal," several celebrities, politicians and major companies have hired Smith to handle a variety of problems. Clients have included celebrity chef Paula Deen, NBA player Kobe Bryant, NFL player Michael Vick and former White House intern Monica Lewinsky.More about Smith:Judy Smith, Real Life Inspiration Behind 'Scandal'http://scandal.wikia.com/wiki/Ju...Judy Smith (The Woman Who Inspired Olivia Pope Character On Scandal) Takes On Petraeus Sex ScandalJudy Smith | Crisis Management ExpertIn addition to Smith's company, Washington has many other PR-focused crisis management firms. I don't know which have top reputations in 2013. Quite a few prominent DC law firms and political lobbying groups also have crisis management practice areas.[1] 6 Real-Life Political Scandals from the Show 'Scandal'
What is the personality profile of Olivia Soprano, Tony's mother--not his wife, his mother. Borderline, psychopath or malignant narcissist?
The answer is very obviously malignant narcissist or even sociopath. But I think it's hard to diagnose a sociopath in a culture in which killing somebody is just seen as another part of the day. Then you come home and eat spaghetti.It really irritated me that such a high profile show got it so wrong. It was one of those cases of quote females are borderlines and males are narcissists unquote stereotypes.People with borderline personality disorder are fearful of abandonment While the character in question tried to kill her own son.This is not brain science. Except maybe it is. When you watched Mrs. Soprano, Tony's mother, did you ever get the sense that she feels empty?Is she a manipulative or impulsive? Manipulation takes time and planning. Many people mistakenly believe that people with borderline disorder have this attribute, perhaps including the therapist on the show. But people with borderline disorder are impulsive and emotionally intense, which causes extreme behaviors.Narcissists and sociopaths are different. They have the ability to make long range plans for their own benefit.I wish I could remember more of the show and give you more examples. But its just a very good demonstration of what happens when gender stereotypes take the stage.By the way, the latest statistics show that narcissists are split 60% men and 40% women, while borderlines are split 50/50.If you understand what about borderline disorder, you will know why that last sentence is a pun.

A question about Twelfth Night (Olivia and Viola)?
Viola and Olivia have the same letters in the name, only arranged differently. I forget what you call this (an anagram?). Why does Shakespeare do this? They are not the only female characters, and although they are "linked" in a way, that could be said to many others. Even if they were main characters, which I believe them to be...why would he make their names like that? I'm wondering chiefly because I'm thinking about writing an essay on the similarities and differences between Viola and Olivia, and if Shakespeare wanted us to see some sort of similarity or connection too. Can it be done?
The Prestige (2006 movie): Why did Sarah hang herself without meeting Olivia; even when she fought with Borden the night before, while claiming to know his secret, she said that she would meet Olivia?
My first A2A ... Thanks Saurabh Kautilya GuptaThe way I understood it is Sarah realized that there are 2 Bordens and they have been living each other's lives alternately and her husband is not her husband all the time. This and the fact that one of them loves Olivia and Sarah's helplessness at determining which one loves Olivia and which one loves her and also which one she loves and which one Olivia loves leads to her frustration.But then she also realizes that this secret of Borden's must never be revealedto anyone, not even to Olivia because that would jeopardize his entire career. That was Borden's only trick and she knew she cannot share it with anyone but she cannot also simply live with the fact. All this psychological turmoil lead to her dropping the idea of telling Olivia the truth and committing suicide instead.This in my opinion shows how people caught up in the lives of two fiercely ambitious and competitive people suffer terribly because of them.
Can anyone help with book MLA format I have a couple of quotes in the following text it is from the book twelfth night is there anyone can do the format I need help.?
Let me see if I have this right: you want to quote from a book that discusses Twelth Night. Is that correct? Is the title of the book the title that you included before the text? Does the book have an author? Do you only need help with in-text citation, or do you also need help with the text’s citation on the works cited page? Also, will you be quoting the quotes that appear within the text you included? Finally, do you expect that any of your quotes will be four lines or more?
