How are Twelfth Night and "just add water" the same?
Both employ the same comic curve. The characters and communities in Twelfth Night and "just add water" all experiencing a bottoming out before things get better. In Twelfth Night, this bottoming out occurred when the love triangle becomes most intricate and confusing. In "just add water," the bottoming out happened right before Ray decided to make a change; after his wife left him and his son joined Dirk's crew. The communities in both texts have to become active and observant in order to make things better or restore order. Also, new relationships are fully formed by the end of each story. These potential relationships were somewhat present throughout the play, but by the end they are complete.
