She's the Man & Twelfth Night Conflicts

The conflicts in She's the Man also tie into some of the similarities in Twelfth Night. As She's the Man (the movie) progresses Sebastian shows up at Illyria and Olivia kisses him, thinking he was the same person who Viola was the whole time.  Sebastian doesn't understand why Olivia kissed him, but he goes along with it anyways. The next morning, Sebastian is pushed to go to his soccer tournament, which Viola was originally participating in (impersonating  Sebastian). Once again Sebastian goes along with it and plays in the soccer tournament. Viola later shows up and runs into Sebastian, who is extremely confused unitl Viola explains everything to him. In act four scene one of Twelfth Night, a similar plot between Sebastian and Viola plays out. Sebastian says to himself, "what relish is in this? how runs the stream? Or I am mad, or else this is a dream: Let fancy still my sense in Lethe steep; If it be thus to dream, still let me sleep!" This shows that Sebastian was confused on what was going on because he had never met Olivia before. He asks him self, if it is a dream or should he be happy? What had caused this? But nonetheless he is happy about it and in the end, it turns out the two get married. 

Quote by Olivia

Your lord does know my mind; I cannot love him: Yet I suppose him virtuous, know him noble,
Of great estate, of fresh and stainless youth;
In voices well divulged, free, learn'd and valiant; And in dimension and the shape of nature

In this quote, Olivia is speaking to Viola (dressed as Sebastian). Viola is trying to convince Olivia to like Orsino, but Olivia responds by saying that she doesn’t love him. She thinks he’s a nice person, young, rich, generous and good looking but she still isn’t interested. She says how he should know this by now. This quote shows how “in love” Olivia really is with Viola. It shows that she’s very set in her mind that her heart is with Viola.  Although Duke seems to be best option for her, she isn’t as good as Viola. She explains how Orsino should know by now that she isn’t interested in him because she has rejected any advances he makes towards her.
