Effect of Twelfth Night being a play

     Reading a play gives a very different perspective of the characters. A story will usually have more

detail, but it is told from one point of view. In the play, you are given the words directly from each

characters mouths. There is no narrator in the play, so nothing is simply explained. Everything either

happens right then and there or it doesn't happen. If Twelfth Night was a novel, it would probably be a

lot more detailed and be told from a narrator's perspective. This would make the story a lot less personal

and direct.
   
      The movie follows the play's script directly, but it is still different to visualize it. When reading,

everyone has a different concept of what they imagine a scene to be like. When someone else pictures

it, it's weird for the reader.
