    In William Shakespeare’s Hamlet‚ the main theme of the play is appearance versus reality. The characters within the play appear to be sincere and honourable when in reality they are corrupt and immoral. Many of the characters within the play illustrate this concept.

    In the twenty-second paragraph‚ Dillard uses imagery to describe scenes that she was only able to see because she was in the airplane with Rahm. Up in the air‚ the “mountain looked infernal‚ a drear and sheer plane of lifeless rock.” She chose to include this imagery in order to explain how the art created by the plane’s movements brought life to the landscape.

    "The Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka uses the distortions of Gregor Samsa’s current state as a vermin‚ his invaded space‚ and the abstract use of time to convey the antagonist’s alienation‚ isolation‚ and conformity causing his inaction as the existential hero.

"When Gregor Samsa woke up‚ [...] he found himself

    succeeded in ruining Othello’s life. Iago is the character that made the lies and slowly but surely plotted. Everyone in town knows that Iago is honest. Therefore‚ Othello has no real reason to doubt Othello. “Iago is most honest” (2.3.7) when in reality Iago can’t stand the thought of Othello being happy.
