Michael Cassio

several murders, injuries, deranking of officers, the Moor had had enough. Beginning with the Iago’s first step, the lie that brought the entire plot into fruition, that Othello’s wife of a few days, Desdemona, the subtle hint that she has been seeing Cassio behind his back, our tragic hero descended his first step into madness. Once a loving, prideful, courageous man, the first signs of his gradual change to his eventual cold-hearted, cynical, frantic persona can be witnessed during the third…

In Othello by William Shakespeare, the handkerchief Othello gives his wife, Desdemona, serves as tangible evidence for Iago to convince Othello that Desdemona has been having an affair with Cassio. This seemingly simple token of Othello’s love for Desdemona creates a chain of events that draws all of the main characters together, in a way that further convinces Othello that Desdemona no longer loves him. Used by his mother to insure that his father remains faithful, Othello places great emphasis…

Nobody thinks that it will happen to them, yet many people will find themselves as the victim of some type of criminal deception within the next year. According to the American Psychological Association, an estimate of 30 million Americans become the victims of fraud each year, whether that be by losing their retirement savings to a deceitful financial advisor or falling for an internet scam (Miller). Not all the world’s crooked people use their clever trickery with the intent for financial gain…

Huck’s Adventure to Maturation Awarded author Tracy McMillan states about maturity, “Caring - about people, about things, about life - is an act of maturity.” Caring about people is exactly what is shown in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, through the character of Huck. Huck Finn starts as an immature boy in the beginning of the novel. By the end of his adventure he comes of age in his maturity by making the right decisions about real life things, such as when the family feud…

Between the movie 10 Things I Hate About You and the play Taming of the Shrew. Petruchio and Patrick are motivated for different things. Petruchio in the book is a self centered jerk who wants to hook up and make money. In the movie Patrick is a guy that everyone is scared of but he’s still a caring person. I believe that Petruchio in both is someone that has a carefree attitude and developed feelings that he thought wouldn't be possible by the end of the story. The movie 10 things I hate about…

The Tempest and the Power Needed to Rule The main motif of the play The Tempest, written by William Shakespeare (ca. 1611), is the power that a ruler can exert over his fellows and followers. In the play, this ruler is given form in the main character Prospero, the Duke of Milan, who was overthrown by his brother Antonio and the rival Duke of Naples Alonso, and exiled to a deserted island somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea. Over the course of the play, Prospero uses power in a variety of ways…

Each and every one of us has a conflict inside ourselves, the conflict between good and evil. It can consume us until a side is chosen to prevail, leaving the other in the dust. This is much like how it is in the world and in the play Macbeth. In Macbeth, there is a fight between characters to see which will prevail, good or evil. In Macbeth, William Shakespeare uses iambic pentameters and motifs to convey the message that good will always prevail over the likes of evil. One way it is shown that…

How does Shakespeare in ‘measure for measure’ explore the use of imagery and language to present characters and key ideas. How you play shows some of your character. but how you win or lose shows all of it. William Shakespeare portrays characters in a way that made people bite their fingers under their teeth. The author presents the play ‘Measure for Measure’ as a tragicomedy, satire, and allegory by its critics. This is because that in some ways it is a comedy but in some ways, it is problem.…

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…

Imagine mixing a hot room and a jury full of very different people. It can be thought that the outcome is not the most civilized, and neither are the people. The book Twelve Angry Men by Reginald Rose is a great example of this. And out of all jurors, the 7th is particularly interesting. Throughout the play, different factors influence a lot about what his decision is, and how he starts to act around the rest of the jury. The things he does impact the story, and reveal some interesting things…
