That most ingrateful boy there by your side
From the rude sea’s enraged and foamy mouth
Did I redeem; a wrack past hope he was.
His life I gave him and did thereto add
My love, without retention or restraint,
All his in dedication. For his sake
Did I expose myself, pure for his love,
Into the danger of this adverse town.
– William Shakespeare
Twelfth Night, Act 5, Scene 1. Antonio mistakes Cesario (Viola) for Sebastian, attacks Cesario’s treacherous behavior and hurls accusations of cruelty and dishonesty. We know that Cesario is innocent of all this, but Antonio has foolishly pursued Sebastian, who does not reciprocate Antonio’s love for him.
