Twelfth Night A Level English Literature (Edexcel)

Hi! I study A Level English Literature at home through an online college and I’ve been set an assignment about how Shakespeare presents love in Twelfth Night. I’ve done a paragraph on how love is presented as erratic but I’m stuck for ideas. I want to write about how love is presented as foolish and tragic but saying “love is presented as tragic” doesn’t actually make sense. Looking for some advice! Thank you

This is such a late reply, but I basically did the same thing as you.
Points I made were:
- Sebastian and Viola (sibling love)
- Anotonio and Sebastian (philia love, Antonio would virtually do anything for Sebastian)
- Orsino and Viola (one-sided love, Narcissus and Echo relations)

I guess you've already done the assignment, so you can use these points from revsion.
