Objects/Places

Illyria: A town where Orsino is a Duke and Olivia is a countess. Viola comes there after her brother Sebastian apparently drowns, and Sebastian comes there after he is rescued from a storm.

Antonio's money: Antonio gives Sebastian his money out of love and trust.

Thus, when Antonio asks for the money back, he is shocked and betrayed when Cesario (who Antonio has mistaken for Sebastian) seems to not even know him.

letter: Maria, angry with Malvolio because he spoils their fun, decides to write a letter that will make him think Olivia is in love with him. The letter tells Malvolio dress and act in a way that will infuriate Olivia. Malvolio takes the letter's advice so far that he appears insane, and Maria and her friends happily commit him.
