Shakespeare is a famous writer of many plays, such as Twelfth Night. Twelfth Night is a romantic comedy set in Illyria and incorporates several songs throughout the show. Shakespeare normally assigns singing roles to lower-class characters and minor personalities, such as servants, clowns, knaves, and fools. Main characters usually never sing unless they are in disguise or in distracted states of mind. In Twelfth Night, the Fool, also known as Feste, is responsible for all the songs and uses music to effectively portray the truth and reality behind all the acting in the show. The songs do not reflect him, but are aimed at the protagonists themselves. Through its use of indirect and metaphorical speech, this song is not a song of celebration or delightful feelings; instead it brings the reader back to reality and diminishes the hope of a happy ending. Although Twelfth Night is a romantic comedy, it also highlights the theme of death. No one ever dies in the show, but it takes on the concept of death, where everything will end sooner or later. Feste repeats "the rain always rains day" (5.1.385) several times throughout this song to suggest that life is unexpected and that the happiness that Illyria's characters feel can be changed at any moment by "the wind and the rain" (5.1.383). It features this life cycle and several events that show how once one thing ends, another thing begins. He traces a sequence of events, starting when he was a boy and explains how “a silly thing but a toy” (5.1.384). Feste creates this image of this playful and carefree childhood and goes on to say that through time, “he has come to the condition of man” (5.1.386) and “'against knaves and thieves men shut their doors” (5.1.388 ). Every person will eventually come out of their childish lifestyle and discover the cruel and unkind life. The song represents the theme of death, as many things in the play end, such as Orsino and Olivia's search for a lover or Maria's prank on Malvolio. The game of Maria, Sir Toby Belch and Feste comes to an end when Olivia realizes that Malvolio is not crazy and Malvolio's happy and fantastic world. Although Feste sings in the first person, his song is directed at the rest of the characters and is a metaphor for rejection and betrayal. Feste portrays this desire to die now, as he says “Come away, come away, death, / And let me lie in a sad cypress” (2.4.51-52). He explains how he is the most faithful person, yet he was "killed by a beautiful and cruel maiden" (2.4.54). This reinforces the theme of betrayal and suffering because Feste's description of pain and sorrow due to a loved one is commonly shown in Twelfth Night. There is this connection between the boy portrayed in the song and the characters in the play. Many of them can identify with the boy, like Orsino, Olivia and Antonio. Orsino, who shares a close relationship with Cesario, begins to feel deceived when he realizes that Sebastian, thinking he is Cesario, has married Olivia. Olivia also feels a momentary sense of rejection when Cesario denies marrying him and she feels like she has lost him. In both situations, Cesario can be seen as Orsino and Olivia's “beautiful and cruel maid” (2.4.54). Antonio also faces the dark side of rejection when he believes that Sebastian has deceived him after all the things he has done for him. As a result, Feste's song emphasizes the theme of betrayal, as it reflects the experiences of many characters in the opera. Also, about halfway through his song, he requests it
