Plot overview
Introduction
What you need to know
The whole play in brief, act by act, and how a shipwreck and a disguise tangle three people in love before the twins meet and the comedy ends in marriages, with Malvolio left outside.
Where each act's key moment falls, how the love triangle and the gulling of Malvolio run side by side, and how the twins are kept apart until the last scene.
Eduqas's Shakespeare questions don't mark context: the extract question (15 marks) and the whole-play essay (20 marks, plus 5 for spelling, punctuation, vocabulary and sentence structures) both mark response and analysis of language, form and structure (AO1 and AO2). Use context only in a phrase that supports an interpretation, and say which question each worked paragraph practises.
