Summary of Act II
N.B. This is just a brief overview - it is no substitute for reading the play!
We learn that Sebastian (Viola’s identical twin) has been rescued from the sea by Antonio.
Lady Olivia sends a ring to Cesario. Cesario (Viola) realises what a mess she is in.
Sir Toby and Sir Andrew are drinking. Maria interrupts them, telling them to quieten down.
Malvolio suddenly appears and tells them all (including Maria) off sternly.
Maria suggests revenge by writing a letter to Malvolio in handwriting similar to Olivia’s, suggesting that Olivia loves him. 
Malvolio finds the letter and totally overreacts - he is delighted!
