cabinet and pulled out a single small glove. Resisting every screeching instinct to panic and rush as tears streamed freely down the young lad’s face, I pretended to calmly blow up the glove, drew a face on the thumb, and took on the role of amateur puppeteer for the fifteen minutes it took to get to the nearest…

psychological thriller. The casting was superb, with Ray Chong Nee as ‘the Moor’ Othello and Yalin Ozucelik taking on the villainous role of Iago. This dichotomy complemented one another, both physically and psychologically demonstrating the control the puppeteer…

The conflicts experienced by the young British law enforcer in George Orwell’s essay “Shooting an Elephant” was by the pre existing tension between the British Empire’s imperial rule over Burma, and the Burmese’s disrespectful actions towards his authority being enforced of the Empire. Orwell displays this conflict and tension as we see his use of symbolism and irony throughout the essay. As a matter of fact, Orwell’s symbolic use of the elephant shows both sides of the confliction between…

By Iago being the puppet master of the play he reveals the inhuman side of people and how they react to manipulation and deception. In the book Othello by Shakespeare we have what I see as a masterful puppeteer. He should be in Sesame Street if you ask me. The puppet masters name is Iago. Iago uses many tools at his dispersal like manipulation, lies, and sometimes just pure luck. His end goal is clear at first but near the end of the story we’re not quite sure where he’s going. Iago is…

finally I can let go of that burden of fitting in, that I was finally popular, pretty, and happy. The girl they were talking about would try to join our group and they would move away. I followed. I was a puppet on strings and they were the puppeteer. They told me what to do and I did it. Even if that meant destroying a certain person, a human being who has feelings.

shadows as a metaphor to show deception and limited information. In Plato’s story, there are many prisoners in a cave. They are chained so they can’t move and all they can see are the shadows that are cast onto the wall in front of the prisoners by puppeteers. The shadows are not real objects, but the prisoners believe that they are because those shadows are all they know and see everyday. This metaphor that the shadows, illustrated by Plato, can still be seen in today’s society in the media,…

In Homer’s The Odyssey, Homer executes his motifs through his characters’ development. The Odyssey exemplifies a prolific journey of the protagonists, Odysseus, as he endures the odds of the ancient Greece to his homeland.

Revenge is a powerful inhibitor that moves Odysseus and the Greek gods to enforce their…
