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