TONE: Light, cheerful, comic; occasionally frantic and melodramatic, especially in the speeches of Orsino and Olivia
TENSE: Present (the entire story is told through dialogue)
SETTING (TIME): Unknown
SETTING (PLACE): The mythical land of Illyria (Illyria is a real place, corresponding to the coast of present-day Albania—but Twelfth Night is clearly set in a fictional kingdom rather than a real one)
PROTAGONIST: Viola
MAJOR CONFLICT: Viola is in love with Orsino, who is in love with Olivia, who is in love with Viola’s male disguise, Cesario. This love triangle is complicated by the fact that neither Orsino nor Olivia knows that Viola is really a woman.
RISING ACTION: The mounting confusion, mistaken identities, and professions of love leading up to Act V
CLIMAX: Sebastian and Viola are reunited, and everyone realizes that Viola is really a woman
FALLING ACTION: Viola prepares to marry Orsino; Malvolio is freed and vows revenge; everyone else goes off to celebrate

Key Facts: Hamlet.
FULL TITLE: The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark

GENRE: Tragedy, revenge tragedy
LANGUAGE: English
TIME AND PLACE WRITTEN: London, England, early seventeenth century (probably 1600–1602)
DATE OF FIRST PUBLICATION: 1603, in a pirated quarto edition titled The Tragicall Historie of Hamlet; 1604 in a superior quarto edition
PROTAGONIST: Hamlet
MAJOR CONFLICT • Hamlet feels a responsibility to avenge his father’s murder by his uncle Claudius, but Claudius is now the king and thus well protected. Moreover, Hamlet struggles with his doubts about whether he can trust the ghost and whether killing Claudius is the appropriate thing to do.
RISING ACTION: The ghost appears to Hamlet and tells Hamlet to revenge his murder; Hamlet feigns madness to his intentions; Hamlet stages the mousetrap play; Hamlet passes up the opportunity to kill Claudius while he is praying.
CLIMAX: When Hamlet stabs Polonius through the arras in Act III, scene iv, he commits himself to overtly violent action and brings himself into unavoidable conflict with the king. Another possible climax comes at the end of Act IV, scene iv, when Hamlet resolves to commit himself fully to violent revenge.
FALLING ACTION: Hamlet is sent to England to be killed; Hamlet returns to Denmark and confronts Laertes at Ophelia’s funeral; the fencing match; the deaths of the royal family
SETTING (TIME): The late medieval period, though the play’s chronological setting is notoriously imprecise
SETTINGS (PLACE): Denmark
FORESHADOWING: The ghost, which is taken to foreshadow an ominous future for Denmark
TONE: Dark, ironic, melancholy, passionate, contemplative, desperate, violent
THEMES: The impossibility of certainty; the complexity of action; the mystery of death; the nation as a diseased body
MOTIFS: Incest and incestuous desire; ears and hearing; death and suicide; darkness and the supernatural; misogyny
SYMBOLS: The ghost (the spiritual consequences of death); Yorick’s skull (the physical consequences of death)
