On Lies My Teacher Told Me
1,053 wordsJames W. Loewen, in my opinion, makes a very valid argument in Lies My Teacher Told Me.

Some criticism of his belonging to this category comes from the "speculation concerning the realism and probability conveyed by Othello which suggests that because of the seeming unlikelihood of the events in the play, it is not characteristic of a tragedy" (Sharina).
