FFW

In II.iii.170, Maria calls her manipulation of Malvolio "sport royal..." What do you make of this?

Maria wants to get back at Malvolio for ruining ther fun. Maria sees that Malvolio's biggest weakness is his ego. She thinks that the best way to play a trick on him is to exploit that weakness. She plans to leave letters around faked to be from Olivia so that Malvolio will think she doesn't love him. Everyone thinks her plan is brilliant. I think its kind of extreme but he shouldnt be such a party pooper.
