What are the connections between the play "Twelfth Night" and the movie "Just Add Water"? From the beginning of the both the movie and the play we see that all sense of normalcy is lost. In Twelfth Night Viola is shipwrecked and under the impression that her brother Sebastian is dead. In Just Add Water the town is in the worst state that is has ever seen and it is also being over run by Dirk. No one has power anymore over what happens in the town except for Dirk and his gang. Also, the roles that each character plays and personalities that they all posses are similar in both Twelfth Night and Just Add Water. Malvolio and Dirk are comparable in that they are the ones who have the ego that is too big for their own good. Malvolio likes to believe that he is one of power when in he is just a servant of Olivia. In comparison, Dirk has the same ego, but he is able to use his attitude in order to get what he wants. In the end both of them are taken away because of their attitudes; Dirk being the actual criminal and Malvolio being one who was taken away for acting strange. The similarity here is that their egos are what both have done them in. They fueled their own fires.
