TWELFTH NIGHT OR WHAT YOU WILL BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, ACT 2, SCENE 5 : '' Get ye all three into the box-tree : Malvolio's coming down this walk ! '' - stock illustration
This quote is from Twelfth Night (Act 2, Scene 5) by William Shakespeare. It’s spoken by Sir Toby Belch, who, along with Sir Andrew Aguecheek and Fabian, is plotting to trick the pompous steward Malvolio. They urge each other to hide in a box-tree (a type of shrub) to secretly watch Malvolio as he discovers a forged letter, which they’ve planted to make him believe Olivia, the countess, is in love with him. The line captures the mischievous, conspiratorial tone of the scene, setting up the comedic humiliation of Malvolio as he falls for the prank.
Vintage etching circa late 19th century, engraved by Sir John Gilbert, and edited by Howard Staunton (1882) to illustrate William Shakespeare's play. Digital restoration by Pictore. Authentic illustration free of AI
