A Twelfth Night essay can bring to life the play by the same name or “What You Will” by William Shakespeare. It is a comedy written around the Christmas season and is meant to recreate the festive spirit associated with Christmas. William Shakespeare wrote this comedy around 1601 and is set in Illyria, an ancient region to the south of Europe. The play is comedy of errors which take place due to mistaken identity. Viola is the leading character who is lost on the shores of Illyria and is separated from her twin brother Sebastian. The story takes a comical twist when she disguises herself as a man and changes her name to Cesario. She offers her services as a page to Duke Orsino who slowly begins to trust her with important work. Orsino uses her to get in touch with Lady Olivia, the lady he loves, who is mourning the death of her dead father and brother. As fate would have it, Olivia falls in love with Cesario, while Cesario herself falls in love with Orsino. An essay writing exercise can bring out the romantic angle in this comedy.

A Tempest essay based on The Tempest, a play by William Shakespeare, can bring to life the famous scenes from the storm. Shakespeare has presented the play in his inimitable and unique style with great emphasis on a pictorial view that comes to life on stage. The story begins with King Alonso of Naples sailing home for Italy. He is returning after attending his daughter Charibel’s wedding From Africa. A violent storm forces the King and his entourage to jump overboard. They are washed ashore to an island. The magician Prospero, who had forced the storm on them, lives on the island with his 15-year-old daughter Miranda. They live in a cave inhabited by Ariel, a faithful elf and the half-beast, half-man Caliban. William Shakespeare is thought to have written portions of the play early in his career, but historians think the entire play might have been written in 1610 or 1611. An essay writing exercise could establish the connection between this play and the others written by Shakespeare.
