Twelfth Night,
Act 2, Scene 4, lines 93-103.

Note to Twelfth Night, 2.4.93-103, "There is no woman's sides . . . And that I owe Olivia."

Orsino's whole speech contradicts what he said about men earlier in the same scene:
Toby Stephans as Orsino Our fancies are more giddy and unfirm,
More longing, wavering, sooner lost and worn,
Than women's are.
He's also sexist, self-centered, and just plain silly. What does Viola see in this twit?
