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 (-5[1])my life.” (10[1])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 character reads a letter stating “Some are born great, (-5[1])some achieve greatness, and some (10[1])have greatness 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 temperament. ■END■ (10[1]0[1])
