3rd pass - Viola falls victim to Malvolio's game, but only somewhat, because she believes Olivia is puppeteering him intentionally to drive her back to her. This indicates the games that are being played, and how they've gone so far, that no one can decipher when a game is reality or not.

3rd pass - though this sentence is seemingly simplistic, I feel it ties (no pun intended) the message of this play together perfectly. Love leads you to crazy things, including making you act irrationally, even through manipulation/deceit or self interest if it means getting what you so desire. In this instance, the web of lve interest's are complicated as is, but the deceit/manipulation bestowed on each character adds even more layers to it. In my opinion, it's all kind of comedic irony
