Lieutenant Henry Italian Army
1,270 wordsA Farewell to Arms: The work presented by Ernest Hemingway was one of enormous magnitude. On the outside the work is presented as a simple story of war and love and the details that go along with the storyline. The simplistic manner in which the story is unfolded is obviously an attempt to force the reader to read between the lines. By leaving the emotions and the motivations for the reader to interpret, Hemingway is forcing the reader to try and relate to the characters. I found this to be a ve...

Iago Plan Act Three Scene
2,352 wordsMy first impressions of the play as a whole were that it was quite predictable and straightforward. As the play continues there is a huge climax so, of course, I was expecting a really unexpected twist and Iago to be discovered. Since Iago has created mistrust between most of the characters you expect him to be caught out. As this happens, it just shows how predictable the play is. The end is more realistic and this makes it much sadder. By Othello killing himself I think that this means he coul...
