read this excerpt from act iii, scene 4 of twelfth night.
antonio, 「to viola 」
i must entreat of you some of that money.
viola
what money, sir?
for the fair kindness you have showed me here,
and part being prompted by your present trouble,
out of my lean and low ability
ill lend you something. my having is not much.
ill make division of my present with you.
hold, theres half my coffer. 「offering him money. 」
antonio
will you deny me now?
is t possible that my deserts to you
can lack persuasion? do not tempt my misery,
lest that it make me so unsound a man
as to upbraid you with those kindnesses
that i have done for you
(lines 356 - 369)
this is an example of ▼ because ▼ believes money that was previously lent to sebastian is being requested. ▼ knows viola is being addressed, not sebastian
This excerpt from Twelfth Night relies on the dramatic irony of mistaken identity: Antonio believes Viola (disguised as Cesario) is her twin brother Sebastian, to whom he previously lent money. Viola has no knowledge of this prior loan, creating a misunderstanding rooted in the play's core trope of mistaken identity.
