    The 1937 French Film, The Grand Illusion, is a war drama released shortly before the second World War and not long after the first.

Our main characters are prisoners of war. Their airplane is shot down, they are captured, and throughout the rest of the film they must simply endure. They get so close to escape, so close to…

    • 3 Pages

    In today’s society people are manipulative. In Othello, Shakespeare uses the characters to show humans can be too trusting; believing an illusion instead of reality. Promptly at the beginning of the play, Shakespeare gives evidence of illusions. Iago is a main source for the illusions throughout the play. In Act 1 Scene 1, Iago tells Roderigo “I am not what I am.” (1.1. 67). Iago bluntly comes out and says he’s fake, but the gullible Roderigo thinks Iago will only be fake with Othello.…
