"You! You've led a democracy to murder a man for speaking freely! Is what you've done! Are you aware of that?

Viola didn't survive the shipwreck.This is what happens to Shakespeare's original text of TWELFTH NIGHT when its heroine, its 'beating heart,' is marauding through it as a ZOMBIE.WARNING: Let all who read this know that Shakespeare's Twelfth Night is a masterful comedy from the greatest English playwright of all time, perhaps Shakespeare's finest comedy, which Twelfth Night of the Living Dead does not intend to modernize or (belches) improve. However,When it strikes you that the original text can and does survive as one-by-one its characters are turning into zombies... And when it becomes clear that the sheer self-involvement of some characters transcends all need for earthly dialogue... And when one of the characters has been famously threatening revenge for more than 400 years... ...it seems like a worthwhile endeavor to massacre (not just cut) Shakespeare's text in order to see the silly creature-feature 'show within the show.'
