Emilia Galotti

Emilia goes up to Iago to tell him that she has got ahold of Desdemona's handkerchief since he’s been nagging her to steal it from Desdemona. He starts to verbally harass her with nonsense questions like “what do you [do] here alone?” Then he starts to get frustrated with her and then he snaps and tells her she’s “a foolish wife” for finding the handkerchief instead of stealing it. Iago talked to Emilia dis respectively for no reason at all, in fact

How and why does the the theme of reputation dominate act two? Though out act two in Othello, Shakespeare presents the idea of reputation. In act two the theme is heavily dominated and Shakespeare has constructed this through the use of dramatic and literary techniques. Shakespeare also manipulates the play to show that reputation is an important value for Othello, Iago and Cassio but matters to them all differently. Your reputation is the beliefs and opinions that are generally held about you

Illusion and Reality Illusion and reality is a perception of something one way then the way it is in reality. Shakespeare uses language, time, dreams, trances, and vision to highlight Illusion and Reality in the play, Othello. Iago- one of the main characters- is seen as this honest, good man when in reality, he's really the worst person in the world, and he tends to stretch the truth, making events and stories sound worse than they are. In Othello, Iago is seen as honest, good and kind, while

Iago is considered one of the most evil and memorable villains in literature. In the first scene of the play, Shakespeare started the play with Iago complaining to Roderigo how he didn’t get the lieutenancy. Iago thinks that cassio became Lieutenant because he thinks Othello favors him and he is disapproving about Cassio being Lieutenant because Cassio only knows strategies not to fight. Because of this Iago mocks Othello to Roderigo. Iago calls Othello things like “Thick Lips” which is a racist

Opportunism is the conscious policy and practice of having/taking selfish advantage of circumstances in a particular person at different motifs. Although human opportunism often has a strong negative moral connotation, it may also be defined more further as putting self-interest before the other interests when there is an opportunity, or flexibly adapting to changing circumstances to maximize self-interest. It is the love for ourselves than having any greater/better intimate connection to others

the Golden Rule: treat others how you wish to be treated. Well, everyone except for Iago. In Othello, Iago executes a cruel plan to ruin the lives of everyone around him. Throughout Shakespeare’s thrilling tale, Othello, Roderigo, Cassio, Desdemona, Emilia, and the many other characters unknowingly pave the paths to their own demise, becoming victims to Iago’s unmerciful cruelty. The interactions between the characters, stemmed from Iago’s brutality, highlights cruelty’s potential to not only destroy

character. Just like in society we have many Iago's trying to climb the corporate ladder by all means necessary. Iago is the smartest character of the play Othello even though he plays the bad guy. Iago is a spiteful brainwashing person who uses his wife Emilia to steal things for his himself in return for stealing items she is rewarded with what we may call some form of affection but she feels is love. He also uses a man named Roderigo

Both, Iago from Othello and Roger from Lord of the Flies, are presented by Shakespeare and Golding as villains. However in my opinion, both Iago and Roger are also evil. A villain is a person who is responsible for trouble, harm or damage. Whereas to be evil is to be profoundly immoral and wicked. Shakespeare's Iago is an evil character, who performs his actions consciously and without reason. Shakespearean critic A. C. Bradley said that "evil has nowhere else been portrayed with such mastery as

she holds highest. It also shows that she respects Othello for who he is because it doesn’t matter if it is someone else’s husband she won’t respect him as much as Othello. Desdemona chides,“O, most lame and impotent conclusion!—Do not learn of him, Emilia, though he be thy husband.—How say you, Cassio? Is he not a most profane and liberal counselor?” (II.i. 176-9). This shows that she respects Othello which is why she loves him so much and will do anything for him. While on the other hand, she states

Throughout the entirety of Othello, Emilia has few lines but plays a key part in the story. Emilia begins as Desdemona’s assistant and as Iago’s wife. The marriage that the two share is considerably bad. The effect for their terrible marriage allows Emilia and Desdemona to bond over their husbands. Iago is the villain of this story, but Emilia doesn’t share the same antagonistic goals. In the entirety of the play, she doesn’t attempt to stray any of the other characters into doing wrong. Even though
