Hibbert Venice 53 Biography Of A City Florence

Thanks to her isolated watery position, the Germanic tribes who over ran the continent were unable to gain possession of, or pillage the city. Venice remained, therefore, under the nominal sovereignty of the Byzantine Emperor. After Constantinople fell, Venice only strengthened her situation.

Othello And Desdemona Binary Opposition
2,089 wordsIt is certainly not hard to conclude that it is probably Shakespeare's most controversial play. There is a clear theme of racism throughout, one which was firmly embedded in the Venetian society which rejects the marriage of Othello and Desdemona as erring, against all rules of nature, [ 1. 3. 102 ] Nothing separates Othello from, the wealthy curled darlings of our nation, [ 1. 2. 68 ] except skin-color he matches or even exceeds them in reputation. At the start of the play, he appears confident...

Christian Values Trial Scene
898 wordsThe idea of mercy is important in the Merchant of Venice because it provides a focus for the contrast between Venetian Christian society and the alien invader, represented by Shylock.

Shakespeare introduces this to his audience in two plays, the first Titus Andronicus and the second Othello. The first black character, Aaron, is portrayed as a secondary villain. Othello on the other hand is of higher status than many of his peers in the play. This was different for Shakespeare to present a minority person with such authority as a main...
