    Iago: Evil Incarnate “I follow him to serve my turn upon him. We cannot all be masters‚ nor all masters Cannot be truly follow ’d” (1.1.42-44).

    In American comedian/actor/writer/director Steve Martin’s L.A. Story‚ there are many Shakespearean references. This is displayed on multiple levels. Sometimes it is subtle‚ like a borrowed plot device that bears a tiny resemblance to the play it was borrowed from. At other times‚ there will be a direct quote credited to Shakespeare himself.

    ESSAY I : SHAKESPEARE AND GENDER-BASED STEREOTYPES. "I could find in my heart to disgrace my man ’s apparel and cry like a woman" (II. Iv : 3) is undoubtedly a statement that would make the feminists react strongly nowadays. In a society trying hard to maintain and preserve a certain equality of treatment between men and women in every aspect of everyday life‚ the author of such a sentence would surely be regarded as highly misogynous.
