Answer: Toby

Maria saw Sir Toby Belch, Olivia's uncle, come home earlier than he usually does, and she chastised him for coming home so late on the other evenings. She then mentioned that Olivia didn't like the man her uncle brought home for her to marry. Toby told Maria that Sir Andrew was the bravest, the wealthiest, and the smartest man in Illyria.

A man named Antonio found Viola's twin brother, Sebastian, after a shipwreck. Antonio nursed Sebastian back to health and was expressing his interest in staying with his friend Sebastian even though Sebastian wanted to leave. Sebastian had no idea that his sister had survived the shipwreck.

Answer: Viola

Viola, who had been dressed as a man for three months, had fallen in love with Orsino and she was telling Olivia how much she loved him. Unfortunately, Olivia had fallen in love with Viola, not realizing she was a woman, and mistakenly married Viola's twin brother Sebastian.

4. Who said, "He that is well hanged in this world needs to fear no colors"?

Answer: Feste

Maria was chastising Feste, the fool, when he returned from wherever he went, because he was gone for so long. She said that Olivia would have him killed.

Maria told him he got that attitude from being around the soldiers, but he would never get to fight with them.

6. "Thou canst not choose but know who I am. If thou entertainest my love, let it appear in thy smiling. Thy smiles become thee well. Therefore in my presence still smile, dear my sweet, I prithee." This quote comes from a letter that Malvolio found when he was taking a walk. Who wrote the love letter to him?

Answer: Maria

Maria, Sir Toby, and Sir Andrew were playing a trick on Malvolio and making him believe that Olivia had written him a love letter when in fact it was Maria who wrote the letter. As Malvolio continued to read the letter, it said that he should smile at Olivia to let her know he returned the same feelings of love. Unbeknownst to Malvolio, Sir Toby and Sir Andrew were watching him read the letter.

7. Who wrote the note that said, "Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them"?

Sir Andrew and Sir Toby wanted Feste to sing a song because they liked his voice. Sir Toby said he would give money to have a voice as beautiful as Feste's.
