Round 2: 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. (10[1])doth sway my life.” In a dark room, this character is told that “there is no darkness but ignorance” by a fool who introduces himself as Sir Topas. This (-5[1])character reads a letter stating “Some are born great, some (10[1])achieve (10[1])greatness, (-5[1])and some have greatness thrust upon ’em.” That letter professes (10[1])Olivia’s love for this character and requests him to appear (10[1])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 temperament. ■END■ (10[1]0[3])
