Authors aim to relate, sympathise, or evoke any emotion from their readers. William Shakespeare achieves this goal through his use of Aristotle’s tragic hero who evokes sympathy for the character and forces the reader to evaluate certain traits in themselves. Tragic heroes possess a tragic flaw or downfall that leads to their death. Shakespeare uses the characteristics of Aristotle’s tragic hero to create a character that readers connect to and, despite their flaw, sympathize with. The fate of tragic heroes end in their death due to their own mistake or character flaw.…

In the MNA Mini Nutritional Assessment video, Dr. Juergen M. Bauer discusses the increase of malnutrition in the elderly (e.g., in the community, nursing homes, and hospitals). In some studies, 50% of the elderly in nursing homes suffer from malnutrition, which suggests it is under-recognized. The causes and consequences that can lead to malnutrition include decreased appetite, age associated changes, changes in functional status (e.g., cannot feed themselves), dementia, and depression. There has been a correlation between malnutrition and mortality. If a person is malnourished, it can increase his or her hospital length of stay, and it can lead to more complications, such as a decrease in the immune system. A way to help identify malnutrition…
In this tumultuous political climate, it has been harshly proven that peaceful resistance to laws leads to a more educated, more aware, and more engaged free society. This pattern has emerged throughout history and has been demonstrated by historical figures such as Thoreau and MLK, but also in groundbreaking current events such as the Women’s March on Inauguration Day of 2017. While some may disagree that peaceful protest does little to push civil liberties forward, the overarching impact of them has greatly affected the education and engagement of society in legislation. The effects of Thoreau’s Civil Disobedience sparked revolutions.…

Readers liked Ben's grumpiness, how Johnny annoyed everyone, and Reed and Sue's spats. Comics historian Stephen Krensky said that "Lee's natural dialogue and flawed characters appealed to 1960s kids looking to 'get…
Shakespeare has used pathos in vast ways to support character development and to build the readers or audiences’ relationship with the characters. Shakespeare makes his readers feel sympathy for certain characters by the way the antagonist treats them. In Othello, Iago used Roderigo, tricked Othello, and mistreated the female characters in the play. Iago helps develop the theme of jealousy throughout the play by exploiting some of the major characters. The truths about some characters are shown clearly to the audience which helps them establish their opinions and feelings about them. Shakespeare uses pathos to get his reader’s point of view of a character.…
Depending on cultural differences and upbringing a text will have different impacts on the audience. Like any great piece of literature, William Shakespeare’s plays deal with timeless concerns that have the ability to be adapted and presented to remain relevant for modern audiences. Shakespeare’s Othello is a Jacobean play written in a time of racist attitudes towards foreigners and sexist attitudes to women. This revenge tragedy follows the protagonist Othello, a black army general who is manipulated by his ensign Iago. For me the way that race and colour is presented in contrast to the stereotypical portrayal highlights the prejudice apparent in not only the Jacobean society but our own as well. This is portrayed through Iago’s racist depiction of Othello and the opposing imagery of black and white. The play can also be viewed as having a strong feminist theme. The two heroines are portrayed as capable and steadfast individuals. Both women are the only characters that remain justified throughout in their loyalty to their husbands.…
Othello is a tragedy plan written by William Shakespeare. In Othello, the themes such as love and jealousy reflects on the characters motivation and their values. An example, is that they had to overcome a huge obstacle such as love because Othello and Desdemona were in love but her father did not approve of it. Othello has no trust for Desdemona because his lieutenant, Iago, made a fabrication saying that Cassio had an affair with Desdemona. There are different types of archetypes that can be found in Othello. Desdemona is a caregiver because she is generous and she care for others like trying to help Cassio get his position back. Iago is a destroyer because he ruined Othello and Cassio life by trying to get revenge on them.…
The function of imagery in the mid-sixteenth century play Othello by William Shakespeare is to aid characterisation and define meaning in the play. The antagonist Iago is defined through many different images, Some being the use of poison and soporifics, sleeping agents, to show his true evil and sadistic nature. Othello's character is also shaped by much imagery such as the animalistic, black and white, and horse images which indicates his lustful, sexual nature. Characterisation of women is heavily dictated by imagery used to show the patriarchal gender system of the time. Some of this imagery is that of hobbyhorses and the like showing that they, Desdemona and Emelia, were nothing better than common whores. Othello's view at the start of the play is contradicting of these patriarchal views with Desdemona and Othellos' true love overcoming these stereotypes and we are told this through imagery of fair warriors and the like. The power of deceit is shown also through imagery of spiders and webs, uniforms and other such images. Also the power of jealousy is well defined by imagery. The handkerchief, green-eyed monster and cuckolding imagery are prominent in defining this theme.…
