I believe that the murder of Desdemona was an honor killing. Othello thought that Desdemona brought him dishonor and gave him a bad reputation. While Othello was manipulated into murdering Desdemona‚ he was the one that had the physical choice. Iago constantly agreed with Othello‚ saying that Othello should kill Desdemona. This influenced Othello’s decision‚ but it was ultimately Othello that chose why he should or shouldn’t kill Desdemona. His choice was based off of his own reputation.

They argued that professors are watering down their lectures so not to offend anyone and students are avoiding upsetting discussions because they are unable to handle the stresses that go along with the controversial topics. This article was obviously

Killings vs. In the Bedroom I really enjoyed the short story “Killings” written by Andre Dubus. I felt the story was very dark and depressing but what intrigued me most about the story was how close to real life it was. Todd Field’s interpretation “In the Bedroom” was an excellent rendition of the short story. He captured the story very well and really brought it to life on the big screen. The short story really portrays the society we live in. You hear every day about domestic violence that

On a broader scale‚ the film shows how the universal negative attitude towards Communism as well as controversy around political versus ethnic genocide allowed Indonesians

This means you have to make the decision between Loyalty and "Friends"‚ which also can be described as people that are together but basically are lonely for themselves and that decision-making is important. If you watch the whole novel as a representative book of American Culture‚ you strongly can see that basically every person is afraid of going in depth.
