   • Maria, in contrast to Malvolio, ultimately elevates her station by endearing herself to Sir Toby, who is so impressed with her sharp wit that he marries her. Maria’s anarchic nature aligns with the spirit of the play, which is perhaps why Maria succeeds where Malvolio—whose arrogance and humorlessness are Twelfth Night ’s antithesis—fails.

   • Perhaps Olivia wants to give herself an excuse to follow her new course of action—falling in love with Cesario—by calling on fate. She seems to be telling herself that such a relationship is meant to be; it is ordained by fate and must happen. By this logic, she can safely give up mourning her brother and begin wooing the young man.
