What is the same about "Twelfth Night" and "Just Add Water"?

To be honest, a connection between “Twelfth Night” and “Just Add Water” is not something that pops immediately into my head. One of the only things I can possibly think of connecting is all the craziness that takes place in each story. I mean nothing is close to normal. In “Just Add Water” we have: meth-dealing teenagers in charge of the town, no fresh food, no grass, crazy wives and illiterate children. Then in “Twelfth Night” we have: girls dressing up as boys, love triangle that turns into a love square, a devious Maria making Malvolio appear crazy, a madman running around in yellow tights, and people marrying people they’ve never met before! I mean what’s happening in these stories are certainly not things we see everyday.

  1. I agree. When I first heard what we had to do I said the same exact thing.

  2. I just saw that they were both comedies and that all the characters reached a very low pint in the middle of the stories, then ended on a happy note.
