Emilia

As most have come to define, Iago is the most infamous villain of all time, I find that he is much more of a complex character then at first glance. Sure he is evil, but is he a simple villain? I think not. He is thoroughly amused by his devilish plots and is not afraid to declare how good he is at it to the audience. Iago is different then many villains because his motives are not very clear. There are many theories over why Iago does the things he does, and my belief is that Shakespeare…

There is a name that is known for mischief all for the good of the people. He is like a shadow in the background lurking in the day and night. Not many know what he looks like, only his helpers and the people that he help. I like the description.His name is the Scarlet Pimpernel, leaving a seal of a scarlet pimpernel wherever he has been. It gives a special emphasis on what he does. It tells us a classic story about old time superheros and how things were back then. I have grown to like this…

Iago’s multiple soliloquy reveals his devious nature and his ability to manipulate others. It also reveals his sad state and gives the audience a reason for his evil nature. This allows the audience to sympathize and even understand why he takes these actions. A Renaissance tragedy also shows the issue of circumstance causing the ultimate conflict in the work. They also reveal how much power Iago has over everyone around him due to his honest outward appearance. He shows his ability to…

Trust, such innocence and beautiful word that could connect each other, can become anybody nightmare if it falls into the wrong hand. People, sometimes, put their trust on something that they can't even prove or at least try to understand. Othello in the tragedy Othello by William Shakespeare also made such mistake. He chose friendship over love just because of Iago always honest. He had put his faith in Iago's hand instead of believing in his love. Iago always acts as Othello support and…

A clear example of dramatic irony in the play is when Othello accuses Desdemona of infidelity. Iago has created this example of dramatic irony by exposing his plans in his soliloquies. In Act 1, scene 3, Iago is all alone when he says” After some time, to abuse Othello's ear That he is too familiar with his wife. He hath a person and a smooth dispose.” Basically, Iago plans to convince Othello that he is not keeping track of his wife and that another character is too familiar with her. Since…

In the play, "Othello" by William Shakespeare there is a constant reoccurence of deception. Shakespeare describes Iago as a character of duplicity and he is well aware that trust and deceit must both be present in order for him to accomplish his inflicted punishment on Othello and Cassio. Iago envies them both and is constantly trying to bring them down while obtaining their trust. Iago is a manipulative individual who serves his life as a bad apple. Iago has the ability to read a person's…

Terrorist attacks, serial killers, the Holocaust. These horrific acts represent only a few of the atrocities that mankind has had to endure. Words like “bad” and “wrong” do not seem to capture the immense horror of these events, so people use the concept of evil. However, what does evil truly mean? What actions can be considered evil and what cannot? These philosophical questions that have been debated for centuries are relevant in describing the antagonist from the story Othello. During the…

influence of jealousy through Iago has destroyed the relationship between Iago and Emilia making no strong tie between them making Iago treat Emilia badly using her as a tool rather than his wife. It is also revealed he clearly does not love or care for Emilia…

The role of Emilia in Othello is not large, but her role is crucial. She has various loyalties to her friend, Desdemona, and her husband, Iago. Her strong connection to both of them leads to the final tragedy. Though she had no knowledge of Iago’s plan for revenge, she played the most critical part for his plan to succeed by supplying him with most tangible evidence. Emilia is a cynical woman who thinks all men are foolish and vicious. Iago does not treat her in any way that would make her feel…

Emilia Dancelli had been rehearsing for approximately six and a half hours and was, at this point, pushing herself far past the limit of even her (in her girlfriend Rebekah 's opinion) ridiculous endurance. She had a competition in five weeks, an audition for the Royal Ballet Company in ten, and an interview/audition with the English National Ballet in twelve. Rebekah had barely seen her for the last couple of weeks despite sharing a flat (and a bed) and was, frankly, starting to worry. Today,…
