so it's normal to use viola/cesario to talk about the character from twelfth night, right, but the author of this shakespeare crit book i'm reading keeps also interchangeably only referencing the twins as viola/cesario/sebastian or viola/sebastian or cesario/sebastian and i really love what this does for the implied interchangeability of all three of these identities among two people. you're two people on purpose, but also you're a third sometimes. you're trying to be one person, but there's two other people you are sometimes, even though they're actually only one other person. you're not one or two of these people but it doesn't matter because to everyone else, you're any of them, really, and what can you do about that? you are one person despite the three names but you have to share that exact personhood with someone else, and it's too tight. you are twins and there are three of you. three is a size too big for two people, so identities are always slipping. it's good that you love the person to whom one or more of these other names belong because if you didn't, there's no way you could escape them.
