Jealousy in Othello "O‚ Beware‚ my lord‚ of jealousy! It is the green-eyed monster (3.3.195-96)..." If a monster with green eyes were coming at an individual‚ what would one do? The answer of course‚ depends on the circumstances of that particular person. Would one permit the green-eyed monster to destroy his or her own mind‚ and control his or her every move? In this case the green-eyed monster would indeed be jealousy. so lets use Iago for example. He was prejudice towards the African American

Everytime Othello poses a question‚ Iago retaliates by simply repeating the question back to Othello‚ for example‚ "Is he not honest?"‚ "Honest my Lord?". By using this repetition‚ Iago asserts his control over not only the conversation but also Othello. This

Othello is the protagonist of the play; he is a highly respected general of the Venetian army. Othello is not a Venetian though; he is a moor‚ which means he is from North Africa. This puts Othello in a very unusual position; he is one of the most important people in the Venetian army and very respected but is also an outsider because he is a black man. I perceive Othello’s character at this point in the play to be Naïve‚ honorable and honest; he really has nothing to hide. His naïveté’s will cause

Henry Lawson s The Union buries its dead is a story which explores the procedure of a union burial for a man whose identity is unknown and whose presence wasn’t noticed. He was a stranger in the town‚ and the fact of his having been a Union man accounted for the funeral.

shaping my understanding of the rather enigmatic yet definitely Machiavellian‚ character of Iago. Shakespeare reveals him to be a cunning and conniving exploiter and manipulator of other characters who become caught in his web of lies‚ deceit and evil schemes. Iago is forever the cold‚ calculating pragmatist who is cynical about anything associated with goodness‚ such as love‚ virtue‚ reputation and honour. Iago constantly plays the role of ‘honest Iago’‚ which is shown by Shakespeare’s constant dramatically
