The JV team had an instant bond because of my big…

The case of hatred that encompasses each individual, and even leads some to kill, resulting in no one to compare themselves to. In a Shakespearean play the main character, without fail, possesses a tragic flaw; in Othello, the Moor of Venice, his…

A foil to Stanley Kowolski, Mitch is always dressed neatly, he is respectful and kind, he speaks in a more refined manner--not coarse like Pablo. While Stanley takes off his shirt and goes around in his undershirt, Mitch will not remove his coat for fear he is sweating too much; he even says that the men should not be playing cards around the women. However, Mitch has some of the male predator in him, just like Stanley. For, when he learns of Blanche's less than stellar reputation, he tries…

In the story of King Lear, Shakespeare uses metaphorical and literal blindness to relay how Gloucester overcomes the burdensome power inflicted upon him by the younger generation and himself. Shakespeare accomplishes this by providing examples of Gloucester’s struggle to rid himself of power through his sons, his friends, and himself. Gloucester had to overcome the emotional blindness of the love he had for his sons to have who they really are come to light. He had to perceive his friends of the…

Basketball Basketball is more strenuous than people think. It requires a lot of stamina, patience, and skills. Most people view it as something anyone can play and be good at immediately, but it's actually more complicated than that. Basketball being such an unpredictable and such complicated game makes it so much more difficult to play and get a lot of success in. Most people underestimate basketball and think it's a lot easier than any other sports, but that not really the reality of it and I…

achieve his goal of causing Othello to go mad. Iago is different from the rest of the characters since one he is the antagonist who is called honest Iago by Othello; which is ironic since he is far from that. Shakespeare lays Iago`s reason, “One Michael Cassio, a florentine, A fellow almost damned in a fair wife, That never set a squadron in the field, Nor the division of a battle knows More than a spinster-unless the bookish theoric, Wherein the {toged} consuls can propose As masterly as he.…
