    Antonio feels closer to Bassanio than any other character in The Merchant of Venice. Our first clue to this is in the first scene when, in conversation with Antonio, Solanio says, "Here comes Bassanio, your most noble kinsman, / Gratiano, and Lorenzo. Fare ye well: / We leave you now with better company" (i. i. 57-59). Once Antonio is alone with Bassanio, the conversation becomes more intimate, and Antonio offers an indebted Bassanio "My purse, my person, my extremest means" (137).

Prospero, the male lead of the Tempest, starts out as the victim of the play, but as the story goes on, it becomes apparent that he is actually the cause of all the problems and plots within the play. Prospero is important because he is the puppeteer that leads all of the characters to complete his orders. He strings all of the characters along to do his bidding, and by the end of the play, he is the only one who wins. Prospero is interesting because, without him, there would be no plot. He is the one who stirs up the Tempest and brings his usurpers to the island. Despite the original belief that Prospero is the victim of his brother’s commandeering of his throne, it becomes obvious that Prospero does not have good intentions, and is

One of the biggest acts of betrayal would have to be in the Aeneid, which Virgil, one of the most renowned poets in ancient Greece, wrote. The most applicable section to the idea would have to be Book IV, where the story begins with Queen Dido, after her husband, Sychaeus, dies after a fateful blow dealt by the Queen’s own brother. She soon falls into a mad state of depression, preaching to her husband’s ghost that she will never love again; for her heart belonged to him and him only. But after her city goes into an economic slowdown, Dido’s sister Anna informs her that she must remarry in order for the city to return to normal. It is at this point where Dido meets Aeneas, the hero destined to restore and found the city of Rome. Dido immediately falls

In the play, The Tragedy of Othello, judging from the relationship between Desdemona and Othello, seems to say that marriage based on an innocent romantic love is bound to fail. There is a common thread of betrayal and deceit among many characters. Othello and Desdemona being the most vividly portrayed.

There is no trust, no communication, and no understanding.

Betrayal is a human condition that comes from breaking trust. The act of betraying one’s self can be commonly seen in people. A character in Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, Jay, betrays himself and wasted his life away on trying to impress a girl.

The harpy chides all the traitors. Alonso in particular is singled out by the monster for the great wrong that was done to Prospero, claiming this past treachery is the source of the sea's anger at Alonso, and for this, the sea claimed his son. Up to this point, Prospero hasn't made any action to reveal himself or his power to the shipwrecked folks, and they've all been wandering around aimlessly.

Betrayal: the disloyal action that results in the ultimate feeling of hurt. For there to be betrayal, there must be trust; the breaking of trust is the ultimate way of betrayal. It spurs upon the influence of others and is provoked by the ambitious mind. To fulfill one's desires, betrayal is an action that is easy to perform.

Prospero’s plot has some very cruel aspect in it for example when he lies to Alonso about his son, Ferdinand, being killed by the storm. Alonso is made to think this throughout the entirety of the play and this shows to have very serious effects on Alonso for example when he talks about committing suicide by drowning himself, he says, “I’ll seek him deeper than e’er plummet sounded, and with him there lie mudded”. Only a very barbarous oppressor would do this to his victims who in this case are the nobles and this agrees with the statement.
