What is the alternate title of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night?

The alternate title of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night is What You Will.

The play’s full title is Twelfth Night, or What You Will. “What You Will” functions as a subtitle rather than a separate competing title, and it suits a comedy built around choice, uncertainty and shifting identity. The story follows Viola, who disguises herself as Cesario after a shipwreck, while Olivia falls in love with the disguise and Orsino remains in love with Olivia.

The title also evokes the festive disorder associated with Twelfth Night, the end of the Christmas season. Elizabethan celebrations could involve role reversal, music, masquerade and a Lord of Misrule—ideas reflected in the play’s mistaken identities, romantic confusion and comic rebellion against social order.

A frequent mistake is to treat The Moor of Venice as a title for Twelfth Night; it is an alternative title associated with Othello. All Is True is linked with Henry VIII, while Love’s Labour’s Won is a lost or unidentified Shakespeare title often discussed in connection with The Taming of the Shrew, not Twelfth Night.
