n of gems that nature pranks her in , that attracts my soul" .
Ironically he know nothing of Olivias soul and so is rejected by her.
"Your Lord does not know my mind, I cannot love him."
Gradually Orsino becomes close to his faithful servant Cesario. They talk about one anothers inner thoughts. They build a relationship which would seem to be like a fathers and son type bond.
"Come hither, boy. If ever thou shalt love ....." Once the Duke learns of Cesarios true identity as a woman, you could say that the Duke changes his views of love. It would seem this way because he has came to know Viola for who she is, her personality in contrast to the 'love' he felt for Olivia. The fact that Viola stays in her mans attire throughout the play, before they walk off together he regards her as Cesario, as though it makes no difference to him.
"Cesario,come;for you shall be, while you are man But when in other habits you are seen- Orsinos mistress, and his fancy's queen!"
The Duke has seen beyond her masculine disguise to her soul. The Duke has not changed in the way that he is still status conscious with who is eligible to be his wife. "Be not amazed; noble is in his blood". It is now alright to be with Viola as he realises she is of equal status to him. Orsino
demonstrates how love or infatuation can blind someone so that they no longer see reality. In the end though he find a more realistic love, he demonstrates falling in love with the soul in Twelfth night.
