Viola and Sebastian , twin brother and sister , are shipwrecked . Each are rescued by a different ship , and Viola is taken to Illyria , where she disguises herself as a page in the Palace of Duke Orsino. Orsino sends Viola ( now known as Cesario ) to the Countess Olivia to plead his love suit, with the result the Olivia falls in love with the young page , who in turn has fallen with Duke Orsino. when Sebastian arrives in Illyria , Viola's identity is disclosed , with the resulting marriages of Sebastian and Olivia and Viola and Orsino. The sub - plot of " Twelfth Night " centers around Olivia's Haughty stewart , Malvolia , who recieves a letter, supposedly from Countess , declaring her love for him. But the letter was really written by Olivias fun loving gentlewoman , Maria , and Malvolio is caused no end of embarassment and humiliation .
