Well this is totally easy! The play is primarily concerned with love and its affect, this is totally reflected in both Olivia and Orsino.
Remember Act One, Scene one in which Orsino declares his love for Olivia. He says "If music be the food of love, play on". He wishes to be drowned in the catalyst of love - it consumes him just like if you have a favourite song your always in the mood to here it.
Olivia is consumed with feelings for Cesario (Viola) so much so that she is blinded by what she feels is real, when infact she is in love with what she is not natuarlly attracted to (a woman).
Orsino almost embarks in a fight. He doesnt not know that Cesario is a female who is helping him. They turn out to be true lovers.
I studied this a while ago but i know a lot about the play, i cant remember much right now but i dont mind helping if you have any other questions email
