Evidently Iago is employing a disguise as if he were a wolf in sheep's clothing. The purpose of such a disguise is exposed when Iago reveals “The Moor is of a free and open nature / That think men honest that but seem to be so” (I.3.390-391). Seemingly, Iago will use his friendship along with Othello's trusting and open personality to his advantage by manipulating Othello. Ultimately, Iago’s deceptive disguise is the functional weapon that allows him to eradicate Othello…

Camouflage, what is it exactly you may ask. It is to hide or disguise something by covering or painting to make it blend in with the vegetation in the area. For example, if you are in a grassy area you would make your camouflage the color of the vegetation. There are some animals that use camouflage to hunt or to hide from predators. If you can match the colors perfectly, you can hide or hunt anything. This is an essential tool to have for the army or hunters. There are four types of…

in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry Portia’s intelligence and the Beneatha’s strong empowerment being suppressed (or attempted to be) are examples of discrimination within their own societies. In The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare Portia disguises herself to be able to hold any power in the Venetian court, showing the discrimination against women. Since she was disguised as a man everybody within the court held her arguments logically and seriously, but if she was not disguised we are…

their are many themes that make the story what it is. They teach us lessons and help grab our attention to want to read every word until there aren't any left. Some of those themes are, fate, the gods, free will, piety, customs, justice, cunning, disguise, and self restraint. Memory, grief, glory, honor, and homecoming. In my opinion every one of those themes are important but the one theme that ties everything together, and is the most important is homecoming, because if it weren't for Odysseys…

The Eyes are the Window to the Soul Athena, goddess and son of Zeus, very frequently appears in disguise, attempting to intervene into the lives of both Odysseus, and his son, Telemachus, in order to protect or warn them. Athena's eyes are highlighted in her epithets, throughout the stories of The Odyssey written by Homer and translated by Robert Fagles. Epithets are phrases that are able to describe a character often in a book. They are able to act as an introduction to the character, as that…

Viola hints at her true identity in the first scene of act three in Twelfth Night saying to Olivia: “I am not what I am” (Shakespeare 211). However, it is not just the fictional Viola who masquerades as something she is not. Women were not allowed on stage in Elizabethan England, thus requiring prepubescent boys to act as females (Charles 123). These boys acted as women on stage, and a confusion of character development and intent of these actors stems from cross-dressing. Boys were acting as…

One is that she disguised herself as a man throughout most of the play creating a lot of confusion and conflicts in the play. Even though it all worked out and it was a happy ending many characters suffered because of her disguise and because of love. Malvolio was also shaped from the internal and external conflicts that happened in the play. He went from being this mean and grouchy man to felling happy when they tricked him with the letter. After the letter he was also in…

Golding uses masks and disguise in lord of the flies to allow the reader to develop a deeper understanding of the complexity of the characters. While applying paint to his face, Jack is described as ‘planning his new face’. This suggests to the reader that Jack has changed as a person from the beginning of the book. Jack continues this contrast in character when he is described as ‘snarling’ and having a ‘sinewy body’. His now ‘sinewy body’ suggests that he is built and muscular, sinewy being…

The main new law that should be included is the punishment of marking sex offenders with distinguishing tattoo. A tattoo would ensure that sex offenders would be unable to flee and change their identities with false documents. Disguises that are so easily available to the normal public would no longer be threat. With sex offenders unable to hide anything about their true selves the re-offense rates would in turn drop. Parents, children, and victims in general would be able to immediately…
