do we discover from scene iii. in regard to the state of things in
Olivia's household? In scene iv., what relation has been established
between the Duke and Viola? What three new characters are introduced
in scene v., and what is the event of the scene? Act II. scene i.:
What is learned of Sebastian and his intentions? In scene ii., what
