The Different Characterizations of Characters in Shakespeare’s Othello and Giraldi Cinthio’s Un Capitano Moro William Shakespeare based his play Othello‚ published in 1603‚ on the short story Un Capitano Moro by Giraldi Cinthio‚ which was published in 1565. Even though the two stories have many similar points and aspects‚ they are quite different. The basic structure of the plot is almost the same in both stories; each author simply wrote in their own details. Both authors also had different writing

One cannot have a successful story without a villain. A villain helps to create conflict and a plot between characters‚ this is what builds a successful story. In the play Othello by William Shakespeare‚ Iago is the ultimate villain. He will do whatever it takes to ruin Othello’s life.

I chose the book Poppleton‚ written by Cynthia Rylant and Illustrated by Mark Teague to complete my body biography on. I analyzed Poppleton the pig to be a very caring and kind hearted character. Poppleton was always putting others first in the chapter book and when he made them feel bad or sad; he would apologize for his mistakes and make a humorous situation out of it. Poppleton also would be caring because his friend was very sick and Poppleton did everything that he could in order to help his

What did you like about this script? The writer offers a unique and quirky‚ character-driven script‚ which has the potential to be wildly unpredictable with a mild bit of slapstick humor that I enjoyed.

I have chosen the Pardoner to expand on. In the prologue this character is described as having shoulder length‚ thin‚ yellow hair. He had bulging eyes and no facial hair. This might have been part of the reason that Chaucer judged him to be effeminate‚ describing him as “a gelding or a mare.” The pardoner is a member of the church‚ with the job of selling absolutions to the members of the church. This character could be a representation of one of the great controversies of the time regarding the

characterization‚ conflict‚ and themes. To start‚ the author uses characterization to reveal a lot about the main character through her actions‚ but her thoughts give more of a look into why she makes the decisions she does. An example of this is‚ "It’s such a joke! Peeta and I going along pretending to be friends !" (92). This is important because whenever Katniss‚ the main character‚ shows affection towards Peeta‚ the boy chosen from their district to be in the games‚ her thoughts let the reader
