Twelfth Night, one of William Shakespeare's entertaining comedies, examines the natural human desire for love. The show showcases a love triangle that explores various types of love. Throughout the play, the characters search for love; however, they have a misunderstanding about the meaning of love. Orisino is the first example of wasted love where he finds himself infatuated with Olivia only for the purpose of falling in love. There is no direction to Orsino's love other than that he only loves Olivia because he likes the idea of ​​being in love with her. The 1988 film production of the play, directed by Kenneth Branagh, supports this misdirected love that Shakespeare displayed in his text. Based on Shakespeare and Branagh's interpretation of love in Twelfth Night, love is misdirected and Orsino is the main interpreter of this theme. At the beginning of the play, Orinso describes his suffering resulting from his love for Olivia. Orsino professes his love for Olivia and the opening lines of the opera are: "If music be the food of love, play on, / Give me an excess that, sated, / The appetite may sicken and so die" (1.1.1-3 ). Orsino's overly dramatic speech expresses his consuming infatuation with Olivia. Rather than spend time dwelling on his obsession with Olivia, Orsino would rather listen to music enough to make him sick, so his desire for Olivia will disgust him. During the film adaptation of Kenneth Branagh's Twelfth Night, this opening scene is dark and somber with Orisno's hand on his face looking depressed. His direction shows Orsino's hopeless romanticism and sadness resulting from his overwhelming desires for Olivia. Overall, Orsino already knows about his relationship with Olivia and should be able to recognize that his feelings for her will be reciprocated. Since… mid-card, he is willing to be with anyone who wants him. he is willing to reciprocate her love. Ultimately, Orsino's love is misguided in both William Shakespeare and Kenneth Branagh's interpretations of Twelfth Night. At one point Orsino is depressed over his unrequited love for Olivia and the next moment he claims to love Viola. He likes the idea of ​​being in love with someone, while being fixated from one person to another. Love must be a pure and genuine intention, while Orsino must understand the passion and true emotion of love. Although Orsino and Viola ended up together, their love may not be true love with passion. Orsino may have difficulty expressing his inner emotions for Viola since he has not fully developed them for Viola. All in all, Orsino's feelings throughout the show are misdirected, but in the end he received the love he was looking for..
