Sir Toby is related to Olivia in Twelfth Night. Sir Toby is seen as an idiot in the story, wiht his drinking and his logic and all the other strange things he does. He hates Malvolio just like most of the other characters. Sir Toby dislikes Malvolio because Malvolio is too serious for him and Malvolio reports everything to Olivia. He hates Malvolio enough that he would help write a fake love letter to Olivia addressed to Malvolio and then see to it that his plan carries through. This includes his number one friend, Sir Andrew. He is trying to help Sir Andrew by trying to get him a girl, hopefully Olivia. Sir Toby is generally kind to Olivia. He likes to hang out, joke around, cause trouble and be lazy. Sir Toby can usually be found at a bar drinking with Sir Andrew. He also never pays, being the big mouth that he is, Sir Andrew always ends up paying for the both of them. That is why he wants Olivia to like Sir Andrew. But maybe Sir Toby does not like Sir Andrew because after he convinces Sir Andrew to fight Cesario and then later convinces Sir Andrew that Cesario is really big and strong. Sir Toby Belch is a man who loves to party a lot, and due to this he is drunk a large amount of the time. Olivia isn't too fond of his drunkenness, he bothers everyone in her castle and provides nothing beneficial, whatsoever. He will probably die from [|alcoholism] before Olivia gets a chance to kick him out of the castle. At the end of the story we find out that @Maria and Sir Toby were married, but not because of love, because Sir Toby is rich and royal. This man has bought his way through life and he is not stopping now. If he loves Maria and she loves his money, than that is good enough for him. What a guy!

More Matter for a May morning

i will confine myself no finer than i am Sir Toby seems like the type of man that will almost do anything to get a laugh. It could be seeing someone else get hurt or inflecting pain on someone/something else. Also it sometimes seems that Sir Toby will do stupid things because of alcohol or will do something to get free alcohol.
