Iago is able to only convince Othello about the love affair that he has been fabricating. As Othello and Iago are walking, Othello asks Iago; “Was not that Cassio parted from my wife?...I do believe ‘twas he.” (3.3.36-40) At this instant Iago is able to change the way Othello feels about Cassio. Iago starts to install jealousy in Othello by questioning him about Cassio. He then acts as if his thoughts will hurt Othello, which only makes Othello wonder more. Othello frustrated, tells Iago; “Thou…

“Othello” by William Shakespeare mainly describes about love, jealousy and betrayal. When we consider about some of the characters the play’s protagonist and the hero was Othello. Othello was well respected by all those around him and he was a physically powerful figure. Although he was very fluent, he believes in his words and manners are both rough. Desdemona was the Othello’s wife and she was almost overly cultured. She was stronger than Othello believes her to be and was determined and…

Greed and jealousy can be effortlessly used to manipulate mankind and the decisions that are made. In Othello “Act V” by William Shakespeare the theme lectures about emotions, and at times, the free will of others that can be morphed to fit the needs of the antagonists. The manipulation of one’s perception can be warped and twisted to compensate for the truth and to suit the needs of the antagonists. William Shakespeare creates a detailed description of the misrepresentation through a characters…

In the poem Hide and Seek, the poet explores the power of the child’s arrogance, as he believes he is clever and therefore powerful. For instance, when he says the people searching for him must ‘think’ he is ‘very clever’, as well as describing them as ‘puzzled’. The word ‘clever’ demonstrates his self-confidence in his intelligence and he thinks he is one step ahead of them, which leads him to believe he has obtained power over them. However, this is thus contradicted later on, as he is then…

The play Macbeth is similar to any cliche action movie when the main character wants total power and will do anything to get it with just a little convincing. “At the beginning of the play, Macbeth is a perfectionistic person whose solution has been highly successful. He precipitates his own psychological crisis by violating his dominant set of shoulds in order to act out the arrogant-vindictive trends which are reinforced by his wife” which is why he slips into evil ways (Gale, Cengage…

Hamlet! What a psycho, right? When hearing others talk about the famous Hamlet, you tend to make this reputation of such a character. In this instance, “psycho” isn’t such a deranged word to use. Hamlet shows multiple symptoms of an actual mental illness, called psychosis throughout the play. For example, he shows symptoms of thoughts of suicide, inappropriate behavior, hallucinations, social withdrawal, and aggression. Now, for a better understanding, psychosis affects the mind where someone…

The nature of deception and manipulation can lead to a daunting experience. Many utilize deception as desperation when they feel powerless. Meanwhile, others abuse it to gain overbearing power. Significantly in this scene, Claudius discusses the surveillance of Hamlet and manipulates others as espionages to reveal the truth about his apparent erratic behavior. Several characters in this play are also obligated in order to disperse skepticism or reveal truths. Also, other familial complications…

“Anger doesn’t solve anything. It builds nothing, but it can destroy everything.” This quote by Lawrence Douglas states how anger is destructive and can cause nothing but trouble. Similarly, Tybalt from The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is an example of how anger, when out of control, can ruin everything. Tybalt’s words and actions do nothing but provoke the Montagues, more specifically Romeo, as he tries to defend the Capulet family. Over the course of the play, Shakespeare shows how Tybalt is…

As most have come to define, Iago is the most infamous villain of all time, I find that he is much more of a complex character then at first glance. Sure he is evil, but is he a simple villain? I think not. He is thoroughly amused by his devilish plots and is not afraid to declare how good he is at it to the audience. Iago is different then many villains because his motives are not very clear. There are many theories over why Iago does the things he does, and my belief is that Shakespeare…

Between the movie 10 Things I Hate About You and the play Taming of the Shrew. Petruchio and Patrick are motivated for different things. Petruchio in the book is a self centered jerk who wants to hook up and make money. In the movie Patrick is a guy that everyone is scared of but he’s still a caring person. I believe that Petruchio in both is someone that has a carefree attitude and developed feelings that he thought wouldn't be possible by the end of the story. The movie 10 things I hate about…
