    Othello: Blindness

    Could one ordinary woman be more intelligent than several highly skilled male warriors? In William Shakespeare’s Othello‚ although Emilia plays a small role‚ she makes a powerful impact. Her omnipotent bravado brings us to the conclusion that she is the reincarnation of Esther from the Bible and that she is a mirror image of today’s risk taking woman. Emilia’s insight brings perspective to not only what is righteous but also to the darkness of bestiality portrayed throughout the play. Although

    On His Blindness

    On His Blindness by John Milton is a classic poem that demonstrates the composer’s perfect understanding of the sonnet form and his ability to utilise it in order to celebrate the idea of surrender to God’s will. The poem conveys Milton’s confusion‚ frustration and eventual understanding of God’s decision to deny him use of his talent. Although the poem follows the rigid sonnet structure‚ Milton’s ability to manipulate this allowed him to truly express the inner turmoil caused by his deteriorating

    Sight and Blindness When Desdemona asks to be allowed to accompany Othello to Cyprus‚ she says that she "saw Othello’s visage in his mind‚ / And to his honours and his valiant parts / Did I my soul and fortunes consecrate" (I.iii. 250–252). Othello’s blackness‚ his visible difference from everyone around him‚ is of little importance to Desdemona: she has the power to see him for what he is in a way that even Othello himself cannot. Desdemona’s line is one of many references to different kinds of

    Female leaders are not the most common thing in the world‚ in fact out of 142 nations only 63 of them have had a female leader in the past 53 years (Kent). That makes the novel by Jose Saramago a very unique novel. In the novel‚ Blindness‚ the only character that can see is the Doctors’ Wife‚ therefore making their leader a female. Some of the reasons Saramago had picked a female to be the leader of the story is because it is easy for women to see a problem within in a society rather than a male

    two villainous daughters‚ and his third daughter is exiled. Parallel to Lears situation is the sub-plot of Gloucester‚ whose bastard son betrays him and his legitimate son Edgar. Shakespeare undoubtedly intended for the characters of Gloucester and King Lear to mirror each other‚ and by comparing them and their outcomes me can see how closely related they truly are.

Blindness is defined as “unable to see; lacking the sense of sight;”(Dictionary). For Lear‚ blindness was not physical; it was his flaw. Lear’s blindness to see who a person really was‚ based on their character and personality‚ was obvious at the beginning of the play regarding Cordelia and Kent. Gloucester‚ on the other hand‚ was originally blind because he also had
