Scene Iii Line Act Ii Scene Iii
966 words
Perhaps the most interesting and exotic character
in the tragic play "Othello, " by William
Shakespeare, is "Honest" Iago. Through some
carefully thought-out words and actions, Iago is
able to manipulate others to do things in a way
that benefits him and moves him closer toward his
goals. He is the main driving force in this play,
pushing Othello and everyone else towards their
tragic end. Iago is not your ordinary villain. The
role he plays is rather unique and complex, far
from what one might ...

Act Two Scene Romeo And Juliet
1,420 words
Although the story of Romeo and Juliet does not
focus on Mercutio, to many, he is one of the most
interesting characters in literature. His name
puns on the word mercurial which means
unpredictably changeable. His unsteady behavior
makes him wise beyond his intentions. A recurring
trend in Shakespeare's plays is the existence of a
witty fool and many foolish wits. People such as
Romeo, Friar Laurence, and Capulet are people who
are made out to be wise, but, in the end, they
make all the wrong de...

Counterpoint Within Shakespeare Twelfth Night
969 words
Shakespeare uses counterpoint throughout Twelfth
Night to create an interesting story that captures
the reader's attention. Counterpoint is a
technique that incorporates multiple scenes
happening simultaneously. These several scenes
come together at the end of the work to produce a
harmonious finish to an action-packed and
appealing plot. In Twelfth Night these concurrent
proceedings generate many misconceptions which
provide the comical, somewhat ironic part of the
play. The "love triangle" eff...

Goneril And Regan Ii Iv
1,389 words
In King Lear, Shakespeare constructs the play so
that originally, as Herbage argues, We weigh
circumstances and view Lear s reverses at least
partly in terms of his faults, yet eventually find
that disaster is created by the immeasurable evil,
of his two daughters. This technique results in
complex character development, which stimulates
the reader to evaluate each player repeatedly, as
they each experience many reverses. Lear s initial
behavior sets in motion a chain of events, which
uncover hi...

Regan And Goneril French Soldiers
725 words
After reading this play, I found it hard to
believe that Cordelia was being anything but true
in her simple proclamation of love for her father.
I cant believe that Shakespeare was trying to
portray her as a spoiled, prideful child. I do not
believe she was foolish in her decision to
restrain from trying to persuade him into giving
her a larger portion of his kingdom. I think it
was apparent early that Cordelia was struggling
with what she was going to say to her father. In
her asides she says, ...

many things that many take on as blind faith. We

we continuously deny the forces working inside
ourselves which want to search out the true
outcome of what may or may not come after death.
Its far easier for humanity to accept that they
will go on to a safe haven and be forgiven for
all, rather than to question the existence of a
super omnipotent being. Fortunately, there are
