Viola and Sebastian wake up to their second day at sea. Their sea legs are coming and they are getting more comfortable on the deck of the ship, as long as the seas are fairly calm. They walk over to the railing of the ship and watch the sun as its orange orb breaks free of the horizon and casts glimmering rays across the sky. It truly is a beautiful sight to behold. The sea spray splashes over them, reminding them of their isolation in the middle of the sea. There is an odd security and vulnerability in a ship -- a paradox really. The ship in itself is safety, yet being on the ship in all the water is equally vulnerable, almost enough to start driving a person to the brink of sanity if thought about too much, the vast depths of water a few simple planks of wood away. So easy it would be for the sea to claim the small craft. But there was a thrill to it as well, the ship's hull skimming across the waves. Exhilarating. That is the best word to describe it. Freedom.

tybalt. If you remember from last year, Tybalt is the character who kills Mercutio in
Romeo and Juliet. Romeo ends up killing Tybalt and then everything descends to tragedy. It really is the turning point in that play.
