Act Our fancies are more giddy and unfirm /More longing, wavering, sooner lost and worn / Than women’s are (2.4.)
Orsino muses on the differences between men’s and women’s feelings without knowing that he is talking to a woman, and to a woman who is in fact in love with him. Orsino reflects that he thinks men’s feelings are changeable and unreliable. This quote foreshadows the way Orsino will abruptly forget his feelings for Olivia and declare his love for Viola at the conclusion of the play.
I’ll sacrifice the lamb that I do love / To spite a raven’s
One face, one voice, one habit, and two persons! (5.1.)
Orsino is amazed to see Sebastian and Viola (in disguise) next to each other. He realizes that the two are basically identical, and that their similarity must be the source of all the confusion. The scene functions as the climax of the play, and the moment when all of the misunderstandings start to make sense.
