Fahrenheit 451 Malvolio A Villain

763 Words4 Pages

Malvolio was a villain, but a wrongly treated villain. He was not as bad as people thought him to be. He was mistreated by many people, including Maria, Sir Toby, and Fabian. This led to him being thrown into a prison. The mistreatment also lead to him being accused of being mad. This was all due to Maria, Sir Toby, and Fabian. Malvolio was treated immorally and subjected to harm by others. He should have been treated more kindly.
Malvolio was not the evil man everyone thought him to be. He was just misunderstood in many ways. Maria wronged him in more ways than one. If anything she is more evil than he ever was. Maria took Malvolio as a fool, and treated him like one too. She stooped down to the lowest levels, and played dirty to get what …show more content…

He was the creator of this plan that sent Malvolio to the prison. He did it because he was angry about the way Malvolio carried himself. He saw Malvolio as a young, stupid, and arrogant fool. He thought these things, because they had differing opinions and Sir Toby hated Malvolio for these differences. Some of his differing opinions were about Malvolio’s religious choices, and how he always followed what was in style. Discriminating against someone's religious opinions is just wrong and immoral. Malvolio was in love with Olivia. Due to the fact that Olivia did not like her uncle's drinking, Malvolio took it upon himself to step up and stop Sir Toby from drinking. He did this because of love, and Sir Toby thought it was just to spite him. This shows that Malvolio is the most misunderstood in all of the play. When Sir Toby goes to take care of Malvolio after Olivia sends him to her uncle, he tries to convince Malvolio that he is possessed by the devil. This is wrong for any human to do to another person. If anyone deserves to be possessed by the devil, it is Sir Toby.
Fabian has had his quarrels with Malvolio as well. Malvolio had ratted out Fabian to Olivia, when he told her that Fabian liked to go bear baiting. Fabian has never forgiven Malvolio for betraying him. Also, maybe he thought Olivia needed to know about Fabian, because he did not want her reputation to be tarnished if she had a servant who bear

Furthermore, it is in human nature to put oneself above others because nobody wants to be at the bottom of the food chain in the world we live in and everyone wants to be number one despite how you have to achieve that goal or dream. Despite most people's hatred towards this character it is self righteous to say that you wouldn't do something that helps you excel knowing it would hold others behind.

They just exploited his flaw which is desire for attention and fame.

  • Why Is Othello A Villain

    Sheltyn Carvalho Othello In the play of Othello written by the great William Shakespeare, people would argue that Othello was very much a villian after killing Desdemona for thinking she was unfaithful to him. Well I am here to explain why I disagree with that statement, even if he gives us every reason to think he was such a bad person. Back in that time of the 16th-17th century men had a lot more power than women so things that would fly then wouldn't be okay now. So if you had read or watched the play you would realize that Othello had a lot of say in everything that went on, even in his wife Desdemona’s life.

    If an actor portrays him as a broken man, with problems that cause him to lash out, and the room he is kept in is pitch black, one would most likely feel for him; as he is a man being forced to question his sanity just because he was too enthralled by thoughts of a better life. On the other hand, if Malvolio is played as a ruthless man, his punishment seems less severe, and he reacts with more anger than fear or sadness, it is easier to think he deserves what he gets. Purely reading from the text, the punishment seems excessive. Humiliation may have been deserved, as he humiliated his peers, ruined their fun, and treated them poorly on a regular basis. He did not deserve to be locked up and tricked to the extent that he was, he is rude and unkind but he is only human and most of his issues probably stem from a sense of insecurity at his lack of status and ability to get on with his peers.
