    The Achilles heel of most business is profit, the ability to keep up those margins and cut losses. Company Q's bottom line was too shallow resulting in the closing of two stores. Both locations were in heavy metropolitan areas with high crime rates and poor neighborhoods. Such actions can have a ripple effect on the community, causing current issues to intensify while adding to unemployment. Poverty that already existed within the community will be more prevalent now. The increase in poverty will hurt the other stores still open, as they will now be targeted for theft. Company Q 's decision to throw away day old items is not socially responsible.

    | Here we see just how manipulative and scheming Iago truly is. Iago knows that Cassio is an angry drunk, thus will likely get into a brawl, and this is exactly why Iago plans to get Cassio drunk, despite Cassio refusing multiple times. Iago wants Cassio to get on the bad side of Othello, because he knows that Desdemona will intervene, and help Cassio. Iago has already planted a seed of doubt in Othello’s mind about Desdemona being unfaithful, and he knows that when Desdemona stands up for Cassio, that it will just add to Othello’s jealousy and suspicion.…

    She assists Cassio (who does not exist in Cinthio’s story) in receiving and audience with Desdemona after his fight with Montano (another character who only exists in Othello), in hopes that she could convince Othello to reinstate Cassio as his lieutenant. While Emilia did care about Iago and was loyal to him to an extent, she was ignorant of his plans until the very end. Emilia had more loyalty to Desdemona than the Ensign’s Wife did for Disdemona. When Emilia went to inform Othello of Roderigo’s death and Cassio’s injury, upon hearing Desdemona’s cries, she stopped everything and rushed to her aid, not waiting for Othello. After Desdemona’s death and Othello confessed to murdering her, Emilia did not hesitate to tell him what a horrible person he was. “Oh, the more angel she, and you the blacker devil!” (Shakespeare. Act 5, scene 2, lines 145-146). She defended Desdemona when Othello insulted her by saying that she was a whore. “Thou dost belie her, and thou art a devil.” (Shakespeare. Act 5, scene 2, line 148). Once all of the pieces fall into place, Iago’s suspicious behavior and Othello’s belief that Desdemona had an affair with Cassio, she ensures that the truth in made known. Iago orders her to go home after she tells him, Gratiano, and Montano what had happened, but she refuses to follow her husband’s orders. She continues to speak of what Iago had caused. Her actions get her killed by Iago. These actions show that Emilia was a much more outspoken and confident woman than her counterpart in Un Capitano Moro judging by what information is given in both texts. The Ensign’s Wife feared her husband. She hardly did anything to help Disdemona because of her fear. Emilia did not show any fear of her husband. What fear she may have had was overruled by her loyalty and care for…

    O villain!” His actions where the actions of any noble man trying to protect a good friend. Many might say that he already knew it was his partner in crime because of the letters found in Roderigo’s pockets but these cannot be a trusted source or hard evidence against him. Roderigo was a delusional man who was in love with Desdemona making him do anything to get her. A few pieces of paper found in the pockets of a man who might have lost his mind when he heard the news that Desdemona had gotten married is not enough evidence to be used against Iago. In Emilia's case, it was not in his plans to kill her but it was just an accident. At the moment of her death there was a big commotion and Iago was only trying to defend himself against Othello’s attack but Emilia got in the way putting herself in danger. Lastly, Othello’s death could not have been Iago’s fault because he struck himself. Othello, realising that it was all his fault, took his own removing any possibility of it being Iago’s…

    Jealousy, the universal feeling we’ve all experienced at one time or another. Whether it be the newest piece of technology that someone has that you don’t and wish you did, or that kid on the playground that had those new light up shoes that were all the rage. Jealousy is not something that can be avoided, only controlled. It sneaks up on you, like a tree root sneaks up on concrete before it breaks to the surface. In William Shakespeare’s tragedy Othello, jealousy is a key component used by many characters as a weapon that is twisted and manipulated to serve their own ends.…

    “O, beware, my lord, of jealousy! / It is the green-eyed monster, which doth mock/ The meat it feeds on” (Shakespeare III. iii. 195-197). Everyone has the capacity for jealousy. It can change how people think as well as how they act. In the play Othello by William Shakespeare, jealousy is nurtured within the minds of multiple characters, and this jealousy is what ignites the want to make multiple misconceptions arise in order to create havoc and inflict suffering upon others and in some cases, upon themselves. To start off, Iago illustrates how jealousy can cause one to want to inflict pain upon others. Secondly, Roderigo shows how jealousy can make one become easily persuaded into doing wrong things. Lastly, Othello is a fine example of how jealousy can cloud somebody’s mind and cause them to see things as something else and inflict suffering on themselves and on others.…
