Driven by an overwhelming desire for evil matched just by Satan, Iago snatches the title as noticeably the worst Shakespeare scoundrel without a doubt. At first glance, Iago's thought process in needing to decimate Othello could be one of a few. The clearest is that he has quite recently been ignored for an advancement which has gone to Cassio. He admits to Roderigo this is the explanation behind his contempt; the purpose behind his longing to destroy Othello. Shakespeare presents Iago as an…

People may not praise the king, but credit should be where credit is due. Lebron James also known as “King James” is one of the best basketball players in the world. He has achieved many things that people never thought anyone could achieve. Lebron has done it all, he has won championship rings, finals MVP, and also the league MVP four times. Most people might say that Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, and Paul George are better than Lebron, but I like to disagree with that. There are several reasons…

In Elizabethan times, being called a “cuckold” was a serious offense. The term refers to a man who is being cheated on by his wife. Said “cuckold” is thought to have invisible horns growing from his head that only he cannot see, these horns expose what is really happening in his marriage. A cuckold is considered naive for not knowing their wife is with another man. This term can be used as an insult which attacks the pride of the married man. Shakespeare takes advantage of the importance placed…

One and Done Rule Many believe that The One and Done Rule, which is when a college basketball player only stays for a year and then leaves for the NBA, should be thrown out. They believe that the players should have to stay at least two years in college and get a degree. The One and Done Rule is ultimately harmful to student athletes and the university because it forces college teams to completely rebuild their roster on an annual basis, playing only one year of college basketball does not…

The draft is finally here! Congratulations to the Cleveland Cavs and their fans. The NBA felt so bad for LeBron leaving to take his talents to South Beach that the NBA decided to award number one pick for the 3rd time since that moment. You have the number one pick!! Maybe the rules should be changed, so that the same team can’t keep winning the draft lottery. I’m sure a fan of the Timberwolves or the Kings would agree. They’ve never won the lottery, even though it seems like they’ve had…

Conflict dehumanises individuals through several aspects thus subsequently evoking powerlessness in a societal hierarchy.

In Dawe’s Homecoming, his intelligent attempt to impart the representation of powerlessness through a bitter tone, ‘- Curly heads, kinky-hairs, crew-cuts…’ emphasising the loss of identity in the “returned…
