Emilia Galotti

In examining the character of Othello’s Emilia as constituting the definition of feminist or even proto-feminist, a few challenges present themselves. Few things are quite as difficult, arguably even impossible; to discern as the mind of an author when all one has to interpret their thinking is a piece of artistic work. When this difficulty is compounded by hundreds of years of distance from the author’s time of existence, it easy to transmit ones desired meanings and intentions on an aspect of a

repetition, he most effectively manipulates the jealousy of Othello through intimation and repetition. Iago most effectively manipulates Othello by using rhetorical techniques to appeal to his emotions. In the story, Cassio is talking to Desdemona and Emilia until Othello and Iago enter. Iago seems to know what they were talking about, but would not inform Othello, creating an example of imitation. Iago uses this technique to hint at something without directly saying it. Friends might demonstrate this

As tempting as it is to blame fate for all our misfortune, weakness of character is often the real reason behind it. This is the case at multiple occasion in Othello by William Shakespeare. Iago’s overconfidence causes him to become reckless and ultimately leads him to his downfall. And Desdemona’s innocence makes her see the best in people and prevents her from realizing the trouble she was setting herself before it was too late. Or in Othello’s case, insecurity prevents him from thinking straight

Captain Blood’s Peter Blood provides an excellent example of this love centered pirate archetype, as close examination of the text provides glaringly obvious evidence that Bloods driving principles rest entirely upon his love for Arabella Bishop, the governor of Jamaica’s niece. Still somewhat early in the story, Pitt, Bloods navigator and record keeper, informs readers that “the thought of Arabella Bishop… loomed large in his mind… He desired Arabella, yet knew her beyond his reach irrevocably (127)

In William Shakespeare’s, Othello, the play introduces a falsely perceived character by the name of Iago. After Othello’s unjust decision of not promoting Iago as lieutenant, Iago generated an immense amount of hatred for Othello, leading to Iago’s atrocious revenge on Othello. Although Iago took his revenge to extreme measures, he was simply getting vengeance on Othello for swindling him out of his promotion, therefore Iago’s revenge occurred as a direct result of Othello’s decision. Iago’s hatred

I personally think that Heath Ledger portrayed the character best. He gives a visceral and creepy performance that immediately captures the audience. His sole purpose is to torment innocent people and he accurately portrays the 'agent of chaos'. His jokes are evil tricks and as Alfred said, "Some men just want to watch the world burn." His messy and rough makeup is unsettling and his small quirks, like his sporadic lip licking, are unnerving to the audience. Ledger threw himself into the role

overcame many obstacles to be together, much to the dismay of Roderigo. A man who longed for Desdemona, and consistently chased after her. He was overlooked for a high position in the army and had heard rumors that Othello has slept with his wife Emilia. For these crimes, man named Iago is out to destroy Othello's life. Iago deceives many people and through his subtle actions, kills Othello and

this to his advantage. Iago tells Othello that Desdemona is cheating on him with Cassio, he sets up and manipulates Cassio many different times so that Othello believes him. The only person who really knows the truth is this situation is Iago's wife Emilia. From these lies, Othello becomes mad and paranoid, and he eventually ends up going crazy with the thought of Desdemona cheating on him. Othello's madness that Iago has caused, makes Iago feel accomplished because he believes that his plan is working

In the play Othello, Shakespeare creates a tragic plot with the use of betrayal through the actions of the most villainous character of the play, Iago. Iago’s betrayal of his commander, his friend and his own wife sprang from his jealousy of being overlooked for a promotion. Betrayal is the overall catalyst to the buildup of the tragic ending to this play, where the majority of characters die due to Iago’s intricate plan of betrayal to all who were close to him. Betrayal is first seen with Desdemona

In some plays or books, the title character is in the focal role. However, this is not the case for other books where characters in the title character’s orbit are the focal role. In Othello this is how it works. Othello is not the focal role in this play Othello, but it concentrates more on the character that manipulates Othello and everybody else the most, Iago. Othello is not the focal role because he does not do much in the book. Iago is the one that controls most of the story. He commands
