The status is just random

I'm reading the Twelfth Night by Sharkespeare right now. It's about a girl named Viola and her twin brother Sebastian. Because of a shipwreck, they were separated and both stranded on a foreign country. Viola dresses up as a boy, changes her name to Cesario, and works for a duke named Orsino. And to me, that's pretty queer. What makes it even more queer is that Cesario is sent to by Orsino to woo the countess Olivia for him and Olivia falls in love with Cesario. Sadly, Viola reveals herself as a woman and marries Orsino and Olivia marries Sebastian. Dang it, Shakespeare! Why'd you have to do that? Shakesqueer
