Question

Twelfth Night

Why does Sebastian tell Antonio that his name was Roderigo

in act 2 scene 1, Sebastian said he lied to Antonio that his name was Roderigo. Why did he hide his identity. I know his father died, but how does that give him reason to disguise himself?

At this point we aren't exactly sure why Sebastian might lie to the man who saved his life by calling himself "Roderigo".We get the sense that his reasons are heavily laden with secrecy and he fears from men who would "extort" from him.
