Types Of Love In Twelfth Night

Family Love

Another example of family love is the relationship between Sir Toby Belch and Olivia. This niece and uncle bond cannot be broken despite Sir Toby being a drunken and ignorant person.

An example of family love in Twelfth Night comes in the form of Viola and Sebastian. These two are identical twins separated whilst being involved in a boat crash. Viola demonstrated family love by mentioning how much she misses her brother.

Family love is the love shared between members of ones family.

Self Love

In Twelfth Night, Malvolio is portrayed as a person who loves himself excessively. In the play, he has no regard for any other characters but himself. For this reason, he is seen treating other characters impolitely to get what he wants.

Self love is when someone is in high regard of themselves rather than others.

True Love

An example of true love is between Viola and Duke Orsino. When Viola came out of disguise, the two got married despite Viola hiding her real identity from him before hand.

True love is a strong affection between two people. Passion and happiness in a relationship are two signs that a couple are truly in love with each other.

Unrequited Love

The last instance of unrequited love comes in the form of Malvolio and Olivia's relationship. Malvolio confesses his love to Olivia, but Olivia does not give him any recognition.

Another instance of unrequited love is between Olivia and Cesario. Olivia confessed her love to Cesario but he politely turns her down.

The one of many instances of unrequited love in Twelfth Night is found in the relationship between Duke Orsino and Olivia. Duke Orsino showed his affection for Olivia but she turns him down.

Unrequited love is a type of love where only one person feels affection towards another person. The other person turns a blind eye or even rejects the person in love with them.
