The first and most obvious account of dishonesty in Twelfth Night is Viola's sex. In the beginning of the play during the shipwreck Viola is her true self, a female. When she finds herself in Illyria looking for a job, she decides she wants to changer her sex to a male so she disguises herself as one and takes on the new name of Cesario. As a male, Cesario is dishonest to her new boss, Orsino because he believes her to be a male and she works for him as his page. Orsino is very fond of Cesario, but

In the end, the dishonesty the characters in this play demonstrated seemed to have no effect on the outcome. Orsino ended up marrying Viola and he didn't even seem to mind that she lied about being a male, Olivia ended up marrying Sebastian just because she thought he was Cesario, Maria ends up marrying Sir Toby, and Malvolio is released from his "treatment" room. In real life, I think that there wouldn't be this happy ending to things. I thing dishonesty is very serious and instead of everyone ending up happy, I think they would have ended up more miserable than when they started.

A third character who happens to be dishonest is Olivia's servant, Maria. Maria is dishonest with the only character in the play who appears to be truly honest, Malvolio. Malvolio is a character who always seems to be getting in the way ruining others fun. In reality it appears that Malvolio is the only one who is actually down to earth and he is just thinking reasonably, he isn't actually trying to ruin others fu
