Round 4: Tossup 6

This character is chided for being “sick of self-love” by his employer after criticizing another character as a “barren rascal.” This character muses “’Tis but fortune, all is fortune” in a scene where he attempts to decipher the line “M.O.A.I. doth sway my life.” (10[2])In a dark room, this character is told (-5[1])that “there is no darkness (-5[1])but ignorance” (10[1])by a fool who introduces himself as Sir Topas. This character (10[1])reads a letter stating “Some are born great, some achieve greatness, (10[1]-5[1])and some have greatness (10[1]-5[1])thrust upon ’em.” That letter professes Olivia’s love for this character and requests him to appear wearing cross-gartered yellow stockings. This character is declared mad due to a scheme headed by Maria and Sir Toby. For 10 points, name this steward in Twelfth Night named for his bad (-5[1])temperament. ■END■ (10[1]0[2])
