TWELFTH NIGHT TEST PART 2 - ESSAY PROMPT

In William Shakespeare's "TWELFTH NIGHT" a recurring motif in the play is disguise.

At least three characters appear disguised as someone they are not: Viola dresses as Cesario, Malvolio dresses in yellow stockings and cross-garters, and Feste the Fool dresses as Sir Topas the Minister who evaluates Malvolio to see if he is "mad".

In a well-written response that includes analysis, explain what this motif symbolizes. Examining EACH of these examples, does the act of disguise accomplish a specific purpose? Are these examples successful? If so, why? If not, why not? What does Shakespeare seem to be telling us about what happens when we disguise our true selves or our true purpose? Consider elements like gender, social class, and love.
