Light Exists To be told that you are worthless by your own mind is the darkest form of torture. Even so, many people, including myself, have either fought off or are hearing such voices inside our heads daily. Defeat of such tyranny is one of the greatest accomplishments humanity can achieve. Seizing upon hope and light wherever it exists is key to darkness’s destruction and is of the utmost importance. No longer should each person dwell on his or her shortcomings, but rather follow the light…

“Hello, what are you doing here? Don’t you knock?” I asked jokingly. “Don’t you dare speak to me you lying, cheating, irritating, agitating, maddening, infuriating debauchee. Don’t think that I don’t know what is going on! They told me! They told me everything! You make me sick!” “Who told you what?” He ignored me. “To think after the chance I took with you, you go and have a fling with that guy. The nerve! What a fool I must have been to love you and to think! Oh, to think that you loved me!…

charm. This quote demonstrates Iago’s intelligence and his ability to mask his true feelings in order to obtain an ulterior motive. 5. “Gentlemen all, I do suspect this trash / To be a party in this injury.” (V.i.86-87) After plotting the murder of Cassio, and subsequently murdering Rodrigo himself, Iago shows no remorse while framing an innocent bystander in order to advance his plan. Iago is only highlighting the ruthlessness that he…

the reason that he deserves the position of lieutenant, and that he also suspects Othello for committing adultery with his wife. So as the play progresses, Iago implants the thought into Othello that that his wife, Desdemona, is cheating on him with Cassio, Othello’s lieutenant. In 4.2.20-95, this is a scene known as the brothel scene because Othello calls Iago’s wife Emilia, “a simple bawd” (Shakespeare 4.2.21), which is a women in charge of a brothel and then he accuses Desdemona as a whore.…

In Act One Scene one lines 43-67, we have a good example of how not everything is what it seems. First, we can see it in how he talks, sentence structure and line length. Next, we can see what kind of man he is under the spotlight depending on his choice of poison, words. Lastly, when and where this evidence came from and why all of this has come up. Iago is not what it seems and here is exactly why. Everyone says that Iago is a very honest and intelligent man and can be trusted with anything,…

One of the driving force of Prufrock’s psychological breakdown is his insecurities. Prufrock has low self-esteem shown from his constant second guessing (“Do I dare?…Do I dare?”). His insecurities fuels him to be self-aware and fearful of what others think of him. This is shown in line 122 in the poem, “Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach? / I shall wear white flannel trousers…” and also in line 40, “With a bald spot in the middle of my hair / [They will say: “How his hair is…

Othello is a true tragic hero because his story strictly adheres to Aristtoles rules of being a tragic hero. Directly parallel to Aristotle’s definition which is the the tragic hero starting out as a great man, and then being defeated by their own mistake. My supporiting evidence to solidfy this claim is that Othello was a great man, created by his military prowess, and his tragic mistake of trusting lago and not his newlywed wife brings him to his own demise, but shortly before, he has a moment…

had fought alongside Othello many times. During their many battles and travels together Iago bonded and respected Othello. Othello stunned Iago when he appointed someone else to Lieutenant instead of him. Finding peace with the decision to make Cassio his Lieutenant proved difficult for Iago. Iago derived a plan to manipulate Othello into thinking Desdemona was being unfaithful and turn Othello against his wife and the people around him, Iago kept friendly this is seen when Iago describes…

jealousy, Othello is definitely a jealous person. Even though he loves Desdemona, he is devoured by jealousy –established by Iago– when she defends against Cassio –who plays the role of the third person. As time goes by, he witnesses lots of seemingly positive proofs of betrayal from Iago, which convinces Othello that Desdemona loves Cassio. When Cassio has a handkerchief that Othello gave to Desdemona, Othello no longer trusts her (3.4.34-94). Although she tries to express her love, respect and…

1) In the short story “Wine on the Desert” by Max Brand, the main character of this short story whose name is Durante. Durante expresses the trait of planning before he acts as the book states that Durant would have a twenty-four hour head start before the people find the dead body. This shows that he has most likely planned when he would murder the victim so he would have a maximum time to get escape. Durante also demonstrates the trait of arrogance as he enters Tony's house and drinks Tony's…
