For example‚ once Desdemona asks her husband to reinstate Cassio‚ Iago plants seeds of doubt in Othello about Desdemona’s unfaithfulness. Othello then contemplates

    character. The key theme I have chosen from the play is betrayal and murder. Banquo was a brave and noble general and at that time was a great friend of Macbeth. Like Macbeth‚ Banquo thinks of things in an ambitious way however he does not at all show the ambitious thoughts in his actions. In a sense‚ Banquo’s character stands as rebuke to Macbeth‚ in a way that shows the path Macbeth chose not to take‚ a path in which ambition need not lead to betrayal and murder. Banquo is often seen in contrast to

    Anthony’s speech was more persuasive than Brutus’ speech. Anthony tried a lot harder to persuade the crowd to see it from his point of view.

He later turned that ethical appeal into sarcasm to condemn Brutus. Anthony used a really strong form of emotion at the end‚ saying that “his heart is in the coffin with Caesar.” And that made

    In the play “Othello” by William Shakespeare‚ Othello seems to be a victim of society. It would seem that Iago just plays on the very easily irritable nature of this figure. Othello seams very innocent in all the workings of the mayhem and very distant from the truth as well. He is almost lost as a child might be lost at their parents cocktail parties. As a child might loose their temper when frustrated so does Othello. He even goes as far as telling Iago he would “tear her to messes.” Othello’s

In William Shakespeare ’s tragedy‚ Othello‚ Iago manipulates the people around him through masterful and clever tactics. Through these devices‚ Iago brings forth a nearly apocalyptic end that leads to his torture and the death of many around him. Iago ’s malevolence and his complete mastery of it is clear to even the most cursory observer. But‚ more than this‚ Iago is the king of evil himself‚ Satan
