Character analysis Sir Toby

In Shakespeare's famous play,"12th Night or What you Will" there is a comic relief character Sir Toby.“Here comes the little villain. How now, my metal of India!”(Shakespeare II v)He is always slightly tipsy and adds laughter to the usually dramatic stage of Shakespeare plays. There is always constant stream of confusing plot points, and its last nice to take a break and laugh. That is exactly what he provides.“Shall I play my freedom at tray-trip, and become thy bond-slave?” ( Shakepeare Act II scene v). This is just one of the many examples of a funny quote provided by Sir Toby.Even though this play is considered a comedy, it still has its drama and long droning romantic scenes. This makes Sir Toby an even more valuable character, for in the end, a comedy can't be a comedy without comedy. “Wouldst thou not be glad to have the niggardly
rascally sheep-biter come by some notable shame?”(Shakespeare II v) Another example is “To anger him we'll have the bear again; and we will fool him black and blue- shall we not, Sir Andrew?”(Shakespeare II v.
           In conclusion, every play story movie needs laughter and there is always a character to provide just that. A drunkard that spews a constant stream of jokes, should be in every Shakespeare play.
