Significance
"Were I the Moor, I would not be Iago. In following him, I follow but myself. Heaven is my judge, not I for love and duty, but seeming so, for my peculiar end; for when my outward action doth demonstrate the native act and figure of my heart in complement extern, 'is not long after but I will my heart upon my sleeve for dawn to peck at; I am not what I am." (I. i. 54-62)

"My noble father, I do perceive here a divided duty. To you I am bound for life and education; my life and education both do learn me how to respect you. You are the Lord of duty, I am hitherto your daughter. But here 's my husband, and so much duty as my mother showed to you, preferring you before her father, so much I challenge that i may profess due to the Moor my lord." (I. iii. 178-187)

"O, beware, my lord of jealousy! It is the green-eyed monster, which doth mock the meat it feeds on." (III. iii. 165-167)

"Then must you speak of one that loved not wisely but too well, of one not easily jealous but, being wrought, perplexed in the extreme; of one whose hand, like the base Indian, threw a pearl away richer than all his tribe; of one whose subdued eyes, albeit unused to the melting mood, drops tears as fast as the Arabian trees their med 'cinable gum. Set you down this, and say besides that in Aleppo once, where a malignant and a turbaned Turk beat a Venetian and traduced the state, I took by th’ throat the circumcised dog and smote him thus." (V. ii. 339-352)

    Tragedy is the imitation of an action that is serious and also having magnitude complete in itself. The genre excites the emotions of pity and fear. Catharsis is also seen in this genre. Tragedy touches the “pity and fear” within its audience compared to other emotions drawn in other genres. Hubris, or the tragic flaw, is often seen in this genre too.…

    “‘I could bend her with my finger and thumb: and what good would it do if I bent, if I uptore, if I crushed her? Consider that eye: consider the resolute, wild, free things looking out of it, defying me, with more than courage—with a stern triumph. Whatever I do with its cage, I cannot get at it—the savage, beautiful creature! If I tear, if I rend the slight prison, my outrage will only let the captive loose. Conqueror I might be of the house; but the inmate would escape to heaven before I could call myself of its clay dwelling-place. And it is you, spirit—with will and energy, and virtue and purity—that I want: not alone your brittle frame. Of yourself you could come with soft flight and nestle against my heart, if you would: seized against…

    A tragedy is a dramatic composition with a serious theme, typically that of a great person destined through a flaw of character or conflict with some overpowering force, such as fate or society, leading to downfall or destruction (Tragedy). Many critics believe that Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is in fact not a tragic play because it does not meet these criteria. In a drama, a tragedy normally recounts significant events in a protagonist’s life that ultimately end in a catastrophe (Hacht). Critics argue that the ambiguity that surrounds the cause of the lovers’ deaths generates the play into an apprentice tragedy. Often, Romeo and Juliet is considered an experimental tragedy because Shakespeare breaks away from the traditional patterns of what makes a tragic play. In contrast, Critics have proposed three ways to interpret Shakespeare’s plot in Romeo and Juliet. One method is looking at the events that take place as a helpless display of fate. Another method is looking at Romeo and Juliet as a tragedy of divine will. Lastly, some critics suggest that the lovers’ own reckless passions leads the way to their inevitable double suicide (Hacht). Other critics such as Charney suggest that, “It is exceedingly difficult to make an emotion as complex and ambivalent as love seem an adequate motivating cause for tragedy” (Hacht). Likely, critics either believe that the play is a complete tragedy or not a tragedy…

    Shakespeare’s Othello has been regarded as one of the most unique, multi-layered example of modern English literature. The conventions of this paper will comprise a textual analysis which will assiduously critique the literary techniques utilised by Shakespeare to convey various purposes. The passage which will be analysed is a piece from Act 1 of Scene 3, comprising a soliloquy which encompasses Iago the Machiavellian villain’s plot to cheat Roderigo and Othello. This soliloquy is essential in context of the entire play as Iago uncovers his true nature to the audience, showing how he can manipulate others to his gain whilst gaining a twisted satisfaction from their torment.…
