First, the main characters in The Octoroon have no complex qualities, but all are unidimensional and stereotypical stock-characters. For example, the character McClosky simply represents the purely villainous “yankee” who only wishes to commit malice in order to advance his own selfish desires.

This can be seen most evidently when McClosky finds a judgement…

Greed and jealousy can be effortlessly used to manipulate mankind and the decisions that are made. In Othello “Act V” by William Shakespeare the theme lectures about emotions, and at times, the free will of others that can be morphed to fit the needs of the antagonists. The manipulation of one’s perception can be warped and twisted to compensate for the truth and to suit the needs of the antagonists. William Shakespeare creates a detailed description of the misrepresentation through a characters…
