4. Task 4: Match the Character
By this stage you should have a good
understanding of the plot of the play
of Twelfth Night, and have taken the
opportunity to watch the National
Theatre production.
Did you understand it?
Did you enjoy it?
I certainly hope so. I find (as I’ve said
before) the pace of the play is just
about right, each scene has a
purpose and drives the narrative.
• NEXT – TASK FOUR and FIVE
• A couple of tasks linked to
Characters of the play, so you
embed their names into your
memory, and get used to them so
you feel confident in writing about
them.
• In the exam you will have to write
about how actors use performance
skills, as well as production
elements such as costume or
sound.

5. Task 4: Match the Character stage 1 – can you remember the
names of the characters from the following descriptions?
A wealthy heiress in Illyria. Her brother and father have recently died.
A Duke and Governor in Illyria. He is in love with Olivia even though
she is not interested in him.

behaviour and dreams of marrying Olivia
A foolish Knight, staying with his friend. Aims to marry Olivia
Olivia’s maid and good friend of her relative
Olivia’s jester or fool, who sometimes also works for Orsino
A Sea Captain, who rescues a character from the shipwreck and

8. Task 5: Relationship Map
• In this task you will create a graphic illustration, similar to a poster,
which illustrates each character and their relationship to other
characters in the play. We have seen one before for The Crucible.
• They are excellent at teaching ourselves who is who and how they fit
into the play. I’m going to provide a template for you, or you could
create your own if you wish.

9. In this example from
The Crucible, you can
see the relationships
are illustrated along
lines drawn between
each image.
Careful planning means
lines don’t intersect and
become impossible to
read, so use at least a
double page in your
book.
I like to use the snipping
tool to capture images
of the characters from
the play. You could use
either the National
Theatre version or
images from other
productions.
Start with the
protagonist in the
centre of the page.

10. The ten main characters – here I have snipped them already from the National Theatre
images online.
You could print these to use in creating your own version, which will be easier than
trying to type in on all those interconnecting lines I imagine – but if you wish to do it a
different way let me know and we can find a way.

11. Building the Relationship Map
• Start at the centre with the protagonist - Viola

12. Building the Relationship Map
• Start at the centre with the protagonist – Viola
• Then add the characters she has most interaction with in the play,
which make up the central love triangle:

13. Building the Relationship MapNext, add the
secondary characters
who are related (not
necessarily family) to
them. Begin to add
how the characters
relate to each other.
TIP – don’t stick
anything down till
you have them all in
place!
You can see how this
is going to shape.
Any questions just
ask.
Send me a picture of
the final version by
Friday 30th May
