Intoxication In Othello

Throughout the course of history, society had stereotyped women, making it merely impossible for a woman to achieve her goals and desires in life. This had weighed them not as equals, and for this, they were given different standards by which to live. At this day and age, and during the ancient Greek times, women have always been treated as second best by biased men, although today’s society has started to understand this inequality better as time progresses further into the future. Even with society becoming more equal for women, females are still treated similar as to time of the ancient Greeks. Women still don’t have as much power as men, are still “blamed” for wrongdoings and thought as untrustworthy, and are still used as “currency”

    William Shakespeare’s tragic drama Othello presents to the audience a picture of many different shades of morality and immorality. It is the purpose of this essay to elaborate in detail on this thesis.

Women have power, power over you, me and everyone. What makes them so special is that we (men) can’t live without them. They are sensitive, and at the same time strong, they care, they love, and most important, they are beautiful. Women have come a long way in society throughout time. They 've gone from being nothing to being something. But yet, there are issues with women in today’s society. Naomi Wolf with her essay “A women’s place” and Zulu Kente’s poem “I know you good woman” they address that the role of woman in our society needs a lot of improvement. Women face daily issues such as their voices are not being heard, they are being paid less than men, their opportunities and education are very limited, male sexism through woman, and last but not least, woman are criticized by their physical appearance.

During the Romantic era women were not only treated as if they were worth less compared to men but were also deprived of the very things that defined them. In the “Poor Singing Dame” by Mary Robinson, the dame is stripped of her spirit solely because the Lord of the castle is envious of the optimism she carries despite being in poverty. In “The Thorn” by William Wordsworth, Martha Ray is denied happiness and affection, which leaves her unstable and deranged. Throughout each of these poems it is made clear that women are seen as inferior to men and are constantly having to sacrifice, which continues to be true to this day.

Although they adamantly strive to be independent and liberated individuals, women “are not liberated at all” because “[they] talk about it too much” (Hansberry 64). Women themselves divulge their own weakness because they formulate a false notion of autonomy. Their error is that they prefer a feeling of liberation rather than liberation itself. Despite being subject to men’s mistreatment and life’s suffering, a woman will sacrifice and do “anything for her family” (Hansberry 75). Men have at many times verbally abused women and suppressed their opinions, but that does not impede women from sacrificing everything for the people they love. Women are portrayed positively because they display strength and perseverance. In contrast, Willy Loman considers his wife a burden when he expresses the idea that “the woman has suffered” (Miller 99). Women are now portrayed negatively because they are described as weak and fragile. This portrayal is unjustified because Willy Loman has had more lamentations while Linda Loman has defended his social standing. Although providing a portrayal for women is largely a subjective evaluation, one cannot deny a woman’s character and sacrifices.

In today's society, gender roles have changed dramatically. Not only do we see women playing men's roles, but men also take on responsibilities typically attributed to females. Women are no longer looking for a man to take care of them, but instead, they are going out into the real world to fend for themselves and make a living. Men no longer hold the title of provider exclusively, they can also be caretakers and trophy husbands. Women no longer wait for their husbands to get home from work or stay at home all day, but instead, have jobs and have equal rights. We no longer live in a world where men are the highest authority and woman are left at the bottom. In the stories that we have read Chaucer and other authors have always misinterpreted the role woman and, have made women seem inferior to men.

Some people who do not support feminism, lean toward the men’s side because they suggest that men are the more important gender, since they are more masculine. Consequently, I believe there is an enlargement to the expansion of women since Shakespeare’s time because they have made decisions that changed lives others. Female workers increased in numbers, and they have inspired others to create. However, sometimes in schools and among people, stereotypes and gossips affect women by emotionally hurting them.In order to solve this situation, I suggest that we, the community, tolerate less of these issues. The benefits of my solution will stop reducing females’ confidence. The effect of the solution include an increase in women popularity because of their self-esteem. The support for women's rights have grown throughout the years. For these reasons I conclude that in many ways, the evolution of women has advanced over the years, since Shakespeare’s

Throughout history, people often read about tenacious men and all of their achievements. Many forget that women have accomplished a significant number of deeds as well, therefore making it seem like men are more superior. Women all around the world have been perceived differently depending on the time period, location, social status or culture. Looking at views of women from the past is important to remind mankind how equally important woman’s job is in society.

Intoxication is the impairment of one’s normal action or reason due to excess consumption of alcohol. Some people can control themselves with drinking alcohol while others so their true colors. While preforming a task or on the job, alcohol should not be involved or even in the premises of the job. The duty should be put fully towards the job and not the consumption of an alcoholic beverage. Being intoxicated on the job is cause for firing because of reckless judgment, inability to protect, and loss of virtue.

William Shakespeare’s Othello tells a story of the tragic downfall of a man through jealousy and mistrust, influenced by the manipulative actions of another. Due to innumerable changes within society over time, it is inevitable that a wide range of critical interpretations and readings of the text will emerge.

Yesterday evening, in front of Presidential palace Cassio, lieutant of Othello, was drunk and involved in a fight which wounded Montano.

Since the beginning of time women have been socially seen as pure, innocent, mature, and caring. Women of every age were seen as objects to society. In society women had to stay home, help around the house, and wait until marriage to have sexual relationships with men. Throughout time women expectations from society have changed. Women now have more freedom, and the will to do and say whatever they want. Although women’s expectations from society have changed some people still treat them different. They are seen as sexual objects, whores, bitches, and all these other deliberate words. Like in “A Rose for Emily”, “The Love of my Life”, and “The Company of Wolves”, all of the women have different stories in society.

Cassio, cashiered, thinks he has lost what Othello is soon really to lose, his reputation: “I have lost the immortal part of myself, and what remains is bestial” (II.iii.263-64). (We must think of “reputation” as meaning not merely the good word

Throughout history and today, we women are constant victims of stereotyping from our society. Certain “rules” have to be followed and certain “ideal” women images have to be kept. We are raised in a way to fill certain position where the society wants us to be and as a result, the opportunities are always limited for us and ideas of our importance in the society are diminishing. Even though women gained some independence, where women can work and take various position in society, the society’s idea of typical role of women never seem to change.
