Reggio Emilia

There is a name that is known for mischief all for the good of the people. He is like a shadow in the background lurking in the day and night. Not many know what he looks like, only his helpers and the people that he help. I like the description.His name is the Scarlet Pimpernel, leaving a seal of a scarlet pimpernel wherever he has been. It gives a special emphasis on what he does. It tells us a classic story about old time superheros and how things were back then. I have grown to like this…

pays the clown to tell Desdemona’s aide Emilia he wishes to speak with her and the clown leaves. Iago enters and tells Cassio he will send for Emilia and find a way to distract Othello while he speaks with her. When Emilia arrives, she tells Cassio Desdemona is defending him to Othello and while Othello still likes him, he cannot reinstate him because of his crime. Cassio asks Emilia to arrange a time where Desdemona and he can speak in private, and Emilia…

frustration over Othello because of decision to make Cassio as his lieutenant instead of Iago. Not only is Iago jealous of Cassio, but he is jealous of Othello as well. He explains later in a soliloquy that he suspects that Othello has slept with Emilia. Here, Iago’s jealousy is the spark that escalates the action in the play. In the play, jealousy makes the character act in certain ways that they normally would not act. Iago uses that to his advantages. His plan is to implant the jealousy that…

Iago’s multiple soliloquy reveals his devious nature and his ability to manipulate others. It also reveals his sad state and gives the audience a reason for his evil nature. This allows the audience to sympathize and even understand why he takes these actions. A Renaissance tragedy also shows the issue of circumstance causing the ultimate conflict in the work. They also reveal how much power Iago has over everyone around him due to his honest outward appearance. He shows his ability to…

Trust, such innocence and beautiful word that could connect each other, can become anybody nightmare if it falls into the wrong hand. People, sometimes, put their trust on something that they can't even prove or at least try to understand. Othello in the tragedy Othello by William Shakespeare also made such mistake. He chose friendship over love just because of Iago always honest. He had put his faith in Iago's hand instead of believing in his love. Iago always acts as Othello support and…

Cassio ultimately causing the death of Desdemona. Roderigo may of had bad intentions from the start but was corrupted more through Iago causing the innocent to die. Emilia played one of the greatest parts in Iago’s plot as a mediator between Cassio and Desdemona, however she was unaware this was only making Othello angrier at Cassio. Emilia was only trying to please her husband just as Desdemona was she had no idea of Iago’s wickedness as she exclaims “I found by fortune and did give my husband…

A clear example of dramatic irony in the play is when Othello accuses Desdemona of infidelity. Iago has created this example of dramatic irony by exposing his plans in his soliloquies. In Act 1, scene 3, Iago is all alone when he says” After some time, to abuse Othello's ear That he is too familiar with his wife. He hath a person and a smooth dispose.” Basically, Iago plans to convince Othello that he is not keeping track of his wife and that another character is too familiar with her. Since…

by little and when one occurred, the next was sure to follow. The fight triggered Othello in thinking that Cassio has been successfully murdered and on that instinct he thought it was right to smother and kill Desdemona. It only took until then for Emilia to realize that the handkerchief issue was all a misunderstanding and must be told to Othello. Although Iago walks out of the scene alive and unharmed by anyone else (unlike everyone else), he faces torture and death. At the end of the play,…

In the play, "Othello" by William Shakespeare there is a constant reoccurence of deception. Shakespeare describes Iago as a character of duplicity and he is well aware that trust and deceit must both be present in order for him to accomplish his inflicted punishment on Othello and Cassio. Iago envies them both and is constantly trying to bring them down while obtaining their trust. Iago is a manipulative individual who serves his life as a bad apple. Iago has the ability to read a person's…

Terrorist attacks, serial killers, the Holocaust. These horrific acts represent only a few of the atrocities that mankind has had to endure. Words like “bad” and “wrong” do not seem to capture the immense horror of these events, so people use the concept of evil. However, what does evil truly mean? What actions can be considered evil and what cannot? These philosophical questions that have been debated for centuries are relevant in describing the antagonist from the story Othello. During the…
