The Anxiety of Attire: The Troubling Subtext of Twelfth Night by Amy Leonard and Marilyn Patton

Question: Did anyone find it odd that Olivia cannot tell Cesario from Sebastian?

A slight historical interlude: Sumptuary laws were enacted in England during this time These made it a crime to wear certain clothes e.g. a woman wearing a man’s clothing. Driving force behind the laws is a fear within society about the role of identity? Do the clothes make the man or the man the clothes? Theaters were often running up against this problem.

Basis in Structuralism Symbols signify meaning Order results from an agreed upon meaning for a symbol: signifier = signified Disorder would result from disagreement on what a symbol means: signifier = ?
