Othello's Bianca-Helplessly Hoping

The two characters who play Bianca and Lucentio are also dating during the making of the play. Lois, who plays Bianca, is a very flirtatious woman who always seems to get more than her share of attention form men. Bianca is also a character who receives similar attention from men. These two roles fit hand and hand. Bill Calhoun plays Licentious, who eventually weds Bianca. Bill is dating Lois throughout the performance of the play. He, like Lucentio, feels insecure and worrisome about the way his relationship with the woman that he is in love with. When her and Lucentio get married in the movie, it appears to be directly following the wedding of her sister. In the play they are married in ACTIV and Katherina was married in ACTIII SCENE II. There is a lot of detail in between, that the movie does not show. For instance, the play talks about a man named Vicentio. This is the father of Lucentio. Tremio, Lucentio’s

When Bianca walks in on Cassio and Iago's conversation, which Othello is spying on, she is holding the handkerchief, which thus causes Othello's ravenous thirst for revenge. Thus, it plays an important part in leading to the tragedy of the Moor and to Desdemona;s death. In Act 5 Emilia revelas that she stole the

Lucentio is a suitor to Bianca. In the beginning of the play, Lucenito is portrayed as the cliché “love at first sight” type of person. He must do everything in his power to get Bianca to wed

The basis of Shakespeare’s plays appears to focus mainly around the dominant male character and his conflicts, which tend to deal with a woman. There are only three women in the play Othello; Desdemona, Emilia and Bianca. The way in which these women behave and present themselves strongly reflects the ideological expectations of women within Shakespeare’s imagined Venetian society as well as the Elizabethan society in which he lived. This patriarchal Venetian society presented in the play depicts women as possessions of men who should remain submissive and meek at all times. The women are expected to unselfishly and unreservedly devote their lives to serve their fathers until they are of age to do so, their husbands. All three women love

Lucentio's treatment of Tranio is reflected in his treatment of Bianca and their role as man and woman. Lucentio never hits Bianca or mistreats her in anyway, but spends the play wooing her and showing her his love. However, Bianca does not completely mimic Tranio's obedience in her role as wife to Lucentio. Though Bianca is not as stubborn willed and shrewish as her sister, Katherine, she does not obey her husband when he calls her to him. Biondello comes back to Lucentio to report: "Sir, my mistress sends you word that she is busy and she cannot come." [7] This action is in direct contradiction with An Homily on the State of Matrimony which states: "Let not therefore the woman be too busy to call for the duty of her husband where she should be ready to perform her own, for that is not worthy any great commendation." [8] Though Lucentio is consistent with his role as master and husband. His relationship with Tranio differs slightly from Bianca, Tranio's servant hood more apparent and selfless.

    In William Shakespeare’s tragic drama Othello, the wife of the protagonist, Desdemona, is the main female character. Secondly, there is the ancient’s wife, Emilia, who is morally ambivalent. Thirdly, there is the girlfriend of Michael Cassio, Bianca, who makes her appearance later in the drama. This essay will analyze the roles of these three women.

     Iago told Othello that he would discuss Desdemona with Cassio, and that he would talk about the affair. Iago does not do this, and instead he talks about Bianca with Cassio, and Cassio laughs at things Iago says. Othello sees Cassio laughing and just assumes he is laughing at Desdemona, which in return upsets him very much. Iago used several tactics to set up Othello for deception in this case.

In addition, Shakespeare intermingles the play with the idea of appearance versus reality, highlighting how truelove can exist within even the curst and is absent amongst even the most attractive. As the play progresses, we see how true this is, as Bianca and Katherina contrast one another on the interior as well, yet Katherina?s true love underneath, allows her to dwell in an effective relationship. As we know, Petruchio?s love is obvious yet Katherina?s shrewish nature masks her true love for Petruchio - proving the deceptiveness of appearances. On the other hand, even though Bianca has many desperate suitors we see how shrewish she really is as she questions, ?Am I your bird? (5.1)?. Bianca?s rhetorical question and indignant tone towards Petruchio highlights her lack of respect and her internal shrewish personality. Moreover, Bianca?s interior personality

n Shakespeare's play Othello many issues are undertaken and explored. The three women play a vital role in this. Only one of the women in this play survives. All the women have no separate identity within the play; all three are married or associated with a male character. Bianca is the mistress of Cassio, Emilia is married to Iago and Desdemona is married with Othello. According to the time that the play was written in and the general hierarchy within Venetian society men hold all the power and women are considered to be of low intellect. Yet it is the women that speak the most sense throughout the play and it is also the women that are able to trust other characters in the play. Each woman represents a different social level, Desdemona

Lucentio is discovered by affection for Bianca at first perception, says that "he will die if he cannot win her heart", and thusly puts into movement a sentimental and capricious arrangement to do as such. Though cherish in the play is frequently moderated by monetary and entertaining concerns, Lucentio is cleared up in a dream of dignified affection that does exclude the useful contemplations of men like Petruchio. All through a great part of the play, then, Lucentio and Bianca's relationship seems, by all accounts, to be invigorating and unadulterated in contrast with the relationship amongst Petruchio and Katherine. Petruchio's choice to depends on his self-declared yearning to win a fortune, while Lucentio's depends on sentimental affection.

The sweetest of all characters, Bianca, is the complete opposite of her sister, Katherine. Bianca has learned to portray the ideal woman in society by watching her sister and her

Humanism, idealism, and rationalism were three predominant worldviews that were present in ancient civilizations. The ancient Greek civilization was heavily influenced with their strong association with their humanistic worldview. As the Greeks began to look at the world around them, mankind was the central focus. Sophocles illustrated this concept of humanism perfectly saying, “The world is full of wonders, but nothing is more wonderful than man” (Messner, Early Greeks). This statement proves the centrality man in Greek civilization, but this statement is not the only illustration of such a worldview. Ancient Greek humanism is evident in general history through Pericles’ Funeral Oration, Plato’s philosophy, and the centrality of man in art.

The “Vaccine War” produced by PBS, enriched my views on vaccination and it’s benefits, because i didn 't know the power of herd immunity before the documentary. Before, I believed that vaccinations should be up to an individual and they should do as they want. Now, I think that vaccination should be required, due to the high potential risk of turning it down as compared to the risks of adverse reaction due to the vaccines.In regards to the connections between autism and vaccination.Results should be studied in more detail, and delivered to the public through the work of mass media.Documentaries such as the “Vaccine War” can be used as a way of delivering conclusion made by science to the public. Although the documentary leans towards the perspective that vaccination using numerous examples of studies debunking the ideas expressed by the anti vaccination movement, it puts out facts and results which can be testified, therefore, it’s more reliable than videos found on the internet and complaints of people against the idea of vaccination. However, the problems raised by the anti-vaccination movement should be studied in more detail, geared towards the general publics health and wellbeing, and the results should be reported publicly and in an understandable manner, in order to make them available to everybody.Since vaccination decisions not only affect mothers and children, but also their community, these decisions should not be treated as individually as they currently are.

Along with the advancement of technology and increasing access to the Internet, “distance learning” , especially web-based learning has gained popularity and reached an unprecedented level in terms of the number of students enrolled in a single course. These online courses, MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) , threaten to overthrow the traditional mode of teaching and learning by offering free and accessible higher-level education to the general public regardless of the students’ background or financial circumstances. However, MOOC has accumulated criticisms questioning its ability to deliver quality education that can be compared to its counterpart in classrooms. In “Growing Up Digital” , John Seely Brown offers many ways to examine the effectiveness of MOOC in relation to its comparability to the traditional teaching in classrooms, and evaluate the possibility of replacing traditional teaching with full online courses.
