Therefore, the market of newspapers and magazines are much smaller that in the USA.…

Moreover, the artist only drew two Aboriginal people living in the reserve, which reflects upon the isolation that they feel from Canadian society. The artist’s motive is to show the irony that occurs in the comic. The dialogue in the first panel claims that the foreigners took over the Hudson’s Bay Company. Although, in reality, the Hudson’s Bay Company derived Aboriginal people’s lands through numbered treaties. Furthermore, the Hudson’s Bay also displaced Aboriginal people to futile…

Iago is a very interesting character in William Shakespeare’s play, Othello. The most compelling view of Iago is through the Historical Critical lens.
