Iago can be characterized as spiteful because his goal of exacting revenge on Othello demonstrates how satisfied he will be if he harms Othello and goes beyond his boundaries in order to get back at Cassio as well. Iago is odious towards Othello because he made Cassio the lieutenant. As Iago continues to be spiteful, he starts to spread rumors about Othello raping Desdemona, Brabantio’s daughter. As Iago and Brabantio were talking, Iago says: “Because we come to do you service and you think we…

Did you know the english term “Don” Means lord? The topic Much ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare, and that Don John, the most evil person to ever live (Don John- likes and loves to ruin love and life for everyone) against Don Pedro the most loyal person to live (Don Pedro- stands by his friend even if it brings him shame). Even if these people are step-brothers they don’t have a lot in common, but I think they are more alike than we think. Don John and Don Pedro are different, what’s the…

destroy lives. We are introduced to a character named Iago, who clearly is displayed with loads of jealousy. Othello passed over the promotion to Cassio to become lieutenant instead of Iago. Iago also heard a rumor that othello hooked up with his wife Emilia. He says, “I hate the Moor, and it is thought abroad, that ‘twixt my sheets has done my office. I know not if’t be true, but i, for mere suspicion in that kind will do as if for surety”(I,iii, 329-433). With hate already brewing, one can…

Iago’s Manipulation of The Characters In Othello In Shakespeare’s Othello, one of the main characters, Iago, easily manipulates characters into believing what he says, and tricks them into falling into his trap of his calculated plots. “Honest Iago,” as Othello and many other characters in Venice call him, uses the character’s weaknesses to play them against each other. Everyone believes Iago because he is considered to be honest and is always trying to help people, but he actually is a…

Shakespeare used multiple omens to foreshadow the deaths of Caesar and Brutus. One such omen was the symbolization of the female characters of the play. The women of William Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Portia and Calpurnia, are portrayed as weak, not as women of power. Portia was unable to get Brutus to tell him what was wrong with him, even after getting on her knees and begging him. “And upon my knees I charm you, by my once-commended beauty, by all your vows of love and that…

Evil tends to be a driving force behind many of the world’s most calamitous acts. In Lord of the Flies written by William Golding, the inner evil in the boys on the island results in an uncivilized society full of chaos and violence. In Macbeth, written by William Shakespeare, evil changes Macbeth from a noble person to a murderer. The article “Stalin’s Great Purge: Over A Million Detained, More Than Half A Million Killed” indicates Joseph Stalin's inner evil by organizing The Great Purge to…

Isolation. Desolation. Self-destruction. When societal influences become that little voice in the mind planting doubt, the line between personal values and the cultural normalcy become blurred. The influence of those around us become the only thing that is distinguishable. When society is working against personal values, self-isolation becomes an appealing choice. Alienation provides the main characters in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World and William Shakespeare’s Othello with their motivation,…
