Act 2 Scene Don Pedro
1,603 wordsBenedick Transformed To what extent is Benedick changed by the end of the play, and how does Shakespeare make this clear to us? At the beginning of the play, Benedick appears as almost a comic character, acting as if the most important part of his character is his wit. However, by the end of the play it becomes obvious that he is a clear-thinking character who is able to take action and keep his head in a crisis.

Acute Tragic Hero
1,923 wordsIt seems that the nearly all critics of Medea are unanimous in one prominent feature of the play alone, and that is in their immense abhorrence for Jason.

Black And White Othello And Desdemona

At the time the play was written, 1604, even the Queen of England was racist so there must have been a strong hatred of blacks around that time. Most racist comments in the play are said by people that are angry or upset...
