it can be ok‚ but the way Iago uses language to deceive people is not ethical. Example: Act 1 Scene 1 Lines 94-95 The way Iago described Othello and Desdemona’s marriage to Brabantio made it sound as if Desdemona did not want to marry Othello‚ and it made Brabantio hate Othello even more. 1a. Iago’s anger is based off of Cassio being promoted higher than him. He promises to betray Othello the first chance he gets (because of his anger) Act 1 Scene 1 Line 67 Iago was also able to manipulate

Kiana Bales Mrs. MacKenzie English 3U Monday‚ April 15‚ 2013 Abigail Williams and Iago: Master Villains Villains play a very important role in every literary work. Whether they exist as people‚ circumstances‚ or even nature‚ their purpose is to provide a problem to be solved by the “good guys”. Without villains‚ no piece of literature would be worth reading. Abigail Williams in Arthur Miller’s The Crucible and Iago in Shakespeare’s Othello are master villains. Both antagonists are fuelled by thoughts

Amir and Hassan’s relationship could be viewed as one sided. Between the two of them‚ Hassan was the loyal one. Amir only acted kind to Hassan when no one his age was around‚ and even then he would often make fun of him for his lack of education.

myself. Exact thing applies to Shakespeare ’s Iago‚ the almost too perfect villain in the play Othello. Different from the other typical trite villains‚ Iago has more depth in him other than being plain pure evil. Consumed with envy and plots Iago deceives and kills those who trust him‚ using the mask of "honest". As an amoral villain‚ it is not that Iago pushes aside his conscience to commit these acts‚ but that he lacks a conscience to begin with. Iago ’s amorality results in the marginality of Othello

Iago is presented as a collect of unsolvable puzzles. Everything Iago says causes worry‚ he invents elaborate lies in order to exploit and manipulate other people. He believes in lying and cheating for

“Stooling is when you rat on your friends‚ the guys you’re with.” (Charley Malloy) ‘Loyalty and betrayal are central to this film.’ Discuss. “I was ratting on myself all them years‚ and I didn’t even know it.” Terry Malloy’s eventual realisation in Elia Kazan’s film‚ On the Waterfront (1954)‚ reveals the philosophical nature of allegiances that the story of an exploited waterfront community’s resistance to an oppressive mob is centred on.
