Reasons why Malvolio is hated
Sir Toby
Malvolio always told him to not drink
contrasting to the merry makers
threatens him that he will be chucked out if he continues to behave like that, being a servant
said while reading the letter- "I will baffle Sir Toby"
his ego thinking Olivia likes him annoys everyone
hates the idea of Malvolio thinking he could be the next possible ruler after marrying Olivia
Sir Andrew Aguecheek
tried to stop enjoyment for him and Sir Toby
narcissistic, self obsessed
Maria
Thinks of him as a puritan- a person who follows strict moral rules and who believes that pleasure is wrong.
"the devil a puritan"
"a time-pleaser"- says good things to people when he is need of something from them
"an affectioned ass"- sucks up to people
"cons state without book and utters it with great swarths"- pretentious fool uses big words and language that makes him sound important
"the best persuaded of himself"- he has the highest opinion of himself
he is so proud of himself that he thinks everyone loves him
extremely egoistic
Feste
very dutiful, doesn't believe in the idea of having fun
earlier in scene 1 when Feste was doing his job and making fun of Malvolio as he is a fool, he got offended, indignant and said wise men who laugh are not wise
mocks him for being so sober, discipline and humourless
Olivia
when Feste makes fun of him and he gets offended, she tells him that he doesn't have any self love and an extremely unhealthy attitude, and says that he should take these things as pinpricks as he did it comically, not to slander him
Fabian
finds it amusing to see Malvolio like that and says "if i lose a scruple of this sport, let me boiled to death with melancholy."
