Mr Shuichi Komiyama is the funniest conductor i've seen in a while.

RULE...................................................

answers ahoy!

~~~

Pg 184, Qn D: “He’s coming madam … tainted in’s wits.”
How does Maria speaks these lines?

Trying to hold back her laughter à knows that Malvolio appears foolish and dumb because she was one of the people to set him up.
May therefore sound constipated (because she is trying to hold back her laughter)
Trying to put on a straight face à deceive Olivia

Pg 184, Qn E: “Sweet lady, ho, ho!”
How does Malvolio enter? How is he dressed? What gestures does he make and how does he deliver this greeting?

Kneels down in front of Olivia, hands stretched apart à looks as though he is beholding Olivia (perverted, drunk à indulging in love)
Wearing green long-sleeved shirt with suspenders, with red/pink shorts, yellow socks/stockings
Dramatic gestures à hold rose between his teeth, give it to Olivia and starts to dance suddenly
Voice: desperate, excited, uncontrollable, hyper-ventilating
Looks at Olivia with big, bulging eyes

Pg 184, Qn F: “this cross-gartering … a servant still.”
i) List all the deliberate references Malvolio makes to the letter he found in the garden between lines 21-56. Why does he do this?

· Hint to Olivia that he received the letter à Malvolio thinks it’s a secret between him and Olivia.
· Malvolio is proud that he is wearing cross-gartering as according to the letter
· Catch Olivia’s attention so that she doesn’t miss the significance

ii) What is ironic about the effect these references have on Olivia?

Malvolio think s Olivia likes him smiling radiantly, wearing cross-gartering, being bold, but on the contrary, Olivia is not comfortable with the things he is doing and wearing.
Malvolio appears to be a Puritan and disliked all ideas of merry-making but when her found the letter, he instantly changed his belief and follows what “Olivia” asks him to do.

Pg 188, Qn G: “Good Maria … half of my dowry.”
i) What does Olivia’s reaction to Malvolio’s behaviour tell us both about her own character and her regard for Malvolio?

· Shows that Olivia is a very kind person à although Malvolio is only an employee, she gives instructions that Malvolio be cared for, citing Sir Toby as a possible caregiver; suggests that money is not an obstacle to Malvolio’s treatment
· Olivia only cares for Malvolio (superficially), exactly what she does to all other servants

ii) What is ironic about the instructions Olivia gives to safeguard Malvolio’s welfare?

· Olivia’s kindness serves only to convince Malvolio that Olivia is in love with him
· Malvolio misinterprets Olivia’s concern

Pg 188, Qn I: “O ho! … he is to be thanked.”
i) How does Malvolio twist Olivia’s words to suit his own inclinations?

· Keeps citing evidence from the letter that he is Olivia’s beloved
· Finds hidden messages in Olivia’s words for example, he thinks that asking Sir Toby to be his caregiver is to allow Malvolio to work on being an arrogant aristocrat. He also read too much into it when Olivia addresses Malvolio as “fellow”, which makes Malvolio think that Olivia treats him as social equal rather than a servant, thinking of him as her future husband

ii) What does this speech tell us about Malvolio’s character?

Shows that Malvolio thinks very highly of himself à egocentric and self-indulgent

Pg 192, Qn K: “Go, hang yourselves all. … You shall know more hereafter.”
i) What is Malvolio’s tone here? How does this speech reveal his ‘true colours”?

· Tone – arrogant à thinks he is superior than Maria, Sir Toby and Fabian
· Insults Maria, Sir Toby and Fabian, saying that they are of a different element than him à he believes he belongs to a higher order of creation or stratum of society
· Teases Maria, Sir Toby and Fabian à saying that they will learn more about his true worth in the future

ii) “You shall know more hereafter.” Comment on the dramatic irony here.

Malvolio thinks that no one knows of the letter other than him and Olivia
Believes that Olivia likes him a lot and one day, they will marry
Malvolio then tells Maria, Sir Toby and Fabian that one day they will find out how much does Malvolio mean to Olivia (which he assumes to be deep)
Thinks that Maria, Sir Toby and Fabian do not know but in actual fact, they were the ones to cast a trick on Malvolio.

so have you copied down the answers?

hope so!

see you in class tomorrow! :D

...

P.S. i won't be updating for a while, just so that people can read this. i'm so nice right ;)

i can't find the tab to type in Chinese, so i think i should just blog happy.

if you want me as a friend back, i'm just a seat to your left.

...

i got 35 1/2 for Chinese! :D

haha, then again, it was beyond simple, so yeah...

had sectionals with Ms Leong! and Sophia's going to get repaired :D

i'm a happy girl today :D

...

i'll be fine after a little cry. i'm a strong girl after all! :D

thanks Emilys :)

later, toony

i really can't take anymore of this.

i'm not like you. i can't surpress much.

...

i really wish school was over.

there's so much about school i'm really want to run away from.

gosh, i really really hate all this.

...

it's my fault.

i'm sorry Sophia! i didn't mean to...

please get well soon!

...

so now i'm playing for wind ensemble AND symphonic band?

what fun. more new friends! :D

later, toony

i can't stand these scrollbars.

so i'm changing my template over the weekends.

that's sad...

i like this skin :(

i've got a new friend. her name is Jenny, and i can tell her absolutely everything.

of course, it helps that she's a notebook.

...

WAHAHA THAT WAS SO RANDOM! :D


...

it's funny... i'm enjoying YPSB.

maybe it's cos my section really rocks, just that everyone's quite shy. the SL (if you're reading this, please tell me your name, i couldn't hear you the last time) was playing with his Tigger and he said he looked like a toot, yet still continued playing with his Tigger.

and they remember me as the girl with the panda! :D

haha, first time i asked a guy for his number. he must have been quite stunned. Ms Leong was quite stunned when she heard that i actually asked him haha :D

anyways, Havendance is quite fun! i really should practice more though.

just heard Children's March. at about 4:20... it's like. whoa. i mean, listen to it for yourself.

yay-ness. playing makes me happy again :)

...

life has a funny way of balancing itself out :)

later, toony

happy birthday Rachel! :D

don't torture pandas kay? ;)

...

had Taiwan exchange yesterday. haha, our section had only one guy. poor guy got laughed at quite a lot :D

i think they're all quite nice leh! and they're so amusing, like the tomboy-ish trumpeter, and the drumset player (those two are SO DAMN GOOD). really wish the exchange could have lasted longer :(

i was sitting right in front of the drumset during the combined pieces. almost died lah, my poor ears, especially during Latin Gold. i specifically told the drummer to play softer and he played superbly well, could feel the beat go right through my body.

and after the piece when i turned around to look at him he was like "抱歉"

-.-

haha Celeste is going crazy over him man.

their malleter is SUPER GOOD! he can do double malleting! and the timpani player too. @_@

well, i think they had super loads of fun playing, and i personally had loads of fun playing with them :D

...

few things to mention...

YPSB's actually quite fun. the wind ensemble clarinet section rocks :D

and my sister's so retarded and random. her friends didn't believe that i'm her sister when we went for PassionAC together. and her friends are quite amusing :D

i screwed up science test. i screwed up lang arts too :D

but i just cannot accept your comment when you said that i wasn't prepared for lang arts test. just screw off and stop pretending like you know me very well.

finally saw Ms Leong! wahaha she has the cutest stuff ever :D

haha, i keep dreaming of Germany! and of all the exchanges and stuff... time of your life man! :D

...

haha, i'm glad i'm able to laugh and smile at the bad feelings that are stuck in me.

haha, i miss everything so much!

but at least... at least i got to experience it all :)
