Analyzing the structure of Twelfth Night, or What You Will as well as the cultural and historical contexts of this festive comedy, we could bring to light the two facets of the early modern English widow hidden away in the figure of Olivia: the virtuous and chaste widow; the "wealthy, sex-hungry widow" generated and instigated by male fantasy. Through this investigation, we may reasonably conclude that at the denouement of this play Olivia is enabled to free herself from these representative fetters of early modern widowhood, and to attain the marriage love in this festive world.}, pages = {37--51}, title = {『十二夜』における寡婦としてのオリヴィア}, volume = {61}, year = {2015} }
