Blind Man Blurred Vision
857 words
The narrator in Raymond Carver's "Cathedral" has
two fully functional eyes, in which he chooses
never to use to their full potential. The eyes of
the narrator are biased, insecure, jealous, and
very limited in what they choose to see. This
inability to see is made apparent when he is
forced to meet and converse with a blind man. The
narrator's perception of the world around him, and
blurred vision, is resolved by a great irony in
the story when Roger helps the narrator see past
his prejudice out...

was the great leader of the Roman Empire. He was a
tragic hero with a tragic flaw. Many thought he
was well suited for his position, but his fellow
politicians thought otherwise. The tragedy of
Marcus Brutus should be of great importance
because his jealousy showed disloyalty and how
friends can be traitors, especially in Caesars
case. Friendships will cease eventually, jealousy
will last forever. Tragedy is best described as a
play, novel or ot...

Affair With Emilia Iago Jealousy Play
423 words
There are many literary works that contain
villains who play an essential role in the
development of the work as a whole. However, I
believe that the ultimate villain of this kind is
Iago in Shakespeare s play, Othello. Through
manipulation and scheming, he beguiles the other
characters of the novel. In the analysis of Iago s
character, we find that the true motive for his
villainous acts is simply jealousy. Throughout the
course of the novel, we are confronted with some
of the motives for Iago ...

William Shakespeare s Othello. It depicts the
attitude of European society towards those that
were different in colour, race and language. In
Europe, people of white complexion were the
majority and all other races were considered to be
less important and inferior. There are several
characters in this that play portray this
mentality. These characters include Brabantio,

Iago has no conscience. He is an angry man and is
happy to take down everyone around him to get what
he wants: revenge. It is in Act 1, Scene 3, that
he devises his evil plan. Here we can see inside
Iago's mind. It is easy to see that his primary

no one. (Act 1, Scene 3, 378 - 381) I hate the

State Of Mind Sexual Desire
1,452 words
Violence and sexuality are usually the theme for
action movies. In Hitchcock's Psycho, violence is
brought out as a substitute for sexuality. Norman
Bates uses violence to release his sexual
frustration. Two clues in the movie to support
such an idea are: taxidermy and the shower murder.
To most people, taxidermy is a hobby; in Norman s
case, stuffing birds can be viewed as a sign of
violence and sexuality. Hobbies are usually
regarded as innocent activities of casual
interest, designed to help ...
