Orsino

Lines that matter
      1. "If music be the food of love, play on." (1.1, line 1 p7)


Why: 
    1. This shows that Orsino has a great love and knowledge for music. It also shows that he is in love with someone, later reviled to be Olivia, but he can't go straight to that person. Shakespeare has created an opportunity for revels and festivities within the framework of this comedy, the idea of music being the food of love allows for a great deal of music to enter into the play under the premise of love.
