Referring to The Two Gentlemen of Verona and Twelfth Night.
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Twelfth Night is a great example.
Consider the implications of these situations:
- Olivia falls in love with Cesario but switches easily to Sebastian, who is identical, but personally different.
- There is a hint of 'forbidden' love between Cesario and Orsino, which can be consummated when Cesario 'transforms' into a girl.
- Malvolio believes Olivia will love him more if he changes his appearance - cross garters, smile.
This is a start at least!
