How does Shakespeare make Act 3 Scene 3 dramatically powerful? In the previous scene, we were also told about Iago’s evil plot to use Cassio’s love for Desdemona to separate the newly-weds. The extract I am analysing begins with Iago convincing Othello that Desdemona is cheating on him. This scene is a turning point in the plot of the play; everything that follows is a result of this scene, it foreshadows the death of Desdemona. In this paragraph I will explain how irony makes this scene…

Because of the culture and environment of my country, bounds are everywhere. Since I was little, me and my peers were taught stuffs like following the rules, listening to elders and so on. Too much personality or individuality was considered rude or even wrong. I was never a “well-behaved” kid, when I was taught something, the first thing come to my mind will always be “how to against it”. When I was in middle school I was crazy about basketball. I once had a dream to become a professional…

The use of the term misogynist, in the case of Johnathan Swift’s narrators, would describe his mistrusts of women, rather than his hatred of them. With both poems focusing on the artificiality of prostitutes. Neither of his narrators feels the need to mistreat women, instead both narrators just assesses the women’s false attributes “Now dexterously her Plumpers draws/That serve to fill her hollow Jaws…/Pulls out the Rags contriv’d to prop/Her flabby Dugs and down they drop” (Swift 17-22). Swift…

Although Iago is a very manipulative character, one can not deny his skill of persuasion. He hones in on a character’s weakness and, through the weakness, brings all the characters down. Roderigo was a very easy manipulative target for Iago. Roderigo is controlled by his emotions only. Iago uses Roderigo’s deep love for Desdemona against him. By constantly reassuring Roderigo that he can win over Desdemona for him, Iago uses him for sport and profit. Through Roderigo’s emotions, Iago controls…
