Masquerading as a petty officer named Cesario, she enters the service of Orsino, an Admiral stationed in England. Orsino has convinced himself that he is in love with the bereaved Olivia, who lost both her father and brother recently in the War, and who will have nothing to do with any suitors such as Orsino. Orsino decides to use 'Cesario; as a liaison to convey his love to Olivia. Believing Viola to be a man, Olivia falls in love with 'him'. Viola in turn falls in love with Orsino, who believes Viola is a man, and who therefore treats her as his confidant, and so the comedy of errors begins.
