...

One way that Shakespeare uses to create humour is Dramatic irony
...
This also makes the audience want
to find out what happens later on in the play
...

This shows that Orsino praises his woman like appearance, but at this moment in time Viola
is feeling very uncomfortable as she fears that Orsino may have realised that she is in fact a
woman in disguise of a man
...

Shakespeare uses Mistaken identity to slowly re unite both Sebastian and Viola after the
shipwreck at the beginning of the play
...
Also among one of the last scenes Viola and Sebastian ,the two
orphaned brother and sister, re unite as their true identity is uncovered as they both get
mistaken for the same youth

Therefore when Viola was about to go back to the court with Orsino, Olivia

Orsino became very confused and asked Viola if this was true but Viola knew nothing about
this and denied it as she was being mistaken for her brother Sebastian
...
Viola, one of the main characters, is
disguised as a male so that she can serve Orsino in his court

The play becomes more
gripping as the audience wants to know many things such as will Viola sacrifice her disguise
for her love form Orsino or will carry on forever serving him? For many of these reasons it
becomes humorous as characters like Orsino and Olivia are treating Character in disguise
such as Viola differently to if they knew who they really are

In Act 2 Scene 5 Shakespeare
uses word play and punning to humiliate Malvolio as he imagines himself with his lady Olivia
hand in marriage
