In William Shakespeare’s play "The Twelfth Night" the play is a pun of fools who torment their adversary the killjoy Malvolio. Through-out the play the fools engage in mischief. Feste is Olivia's jester.
I have to agree with the previous writer that the only place in the play where I can see Feste winning over Olivia is when she tells him to go away. Feste argues with her that he is a good fool. Olivia denies this saying he is basically dull. Feste says that drink will make him more witty. He then makes a witty comment. Oliva asks Malvolio his opinion and the man puts Feste down. Olivia defends Feste and tells Malvolio that he instead is
"Oh, you are sick of self-love, Malvolio, and taste with a distempered "
I would have to say that Feste wins Olivia over with his sense of humor and by winning her support and defence from Malvolilo.
