... Emilia had confronted Iago about his wicked plans by saying; “Disproved this villain, if thou be’st a man. He say thou toldst him that his wife was false. I know thou’rt not such a villain. Speak for my heart is full.” Iago replied; “ I told him what I thought and told no more than what he found himself was apt and true.” (Act V, sc.ii, lines179-184) Although Iago was solely responsible for the tragedy, he could not have succeeded if it was not for the gullible characters as targets for him to hit.

... to go,
thinking that he might be able to get away with this scheme. Upon entering he
sees Juliet and right away, he knows it is love. If he had not worn the costume,
the hosts might have ejected him from the party and he might not have met
Juliet. Much Ado About Nothing has a similar but also different approach
towards love at the masque. In Much Ado, Count Claudio is not able to gather
the courage to court Hero. Instead Don Pedro, who is one of Claudio's very
close friends, offers to go and woo Hero for his friend. This point is
illustrated by Don Pedro for his great plan to get Claudio and Hero t ...

... a boat, a ship for all those who wish to cross the water." Later in the film, the Dalai Lama says, "Wisdom and compassion will set us free." As shown through the quotations, Kundun portrays the image of the Tibetan people as religious, peaceful, loving, and compassionate. However, the film delineates the Chinese as cruel, uncompassionate oppressors. For example, Chairman Mao is depicted as a rude and heartless man when he meets with the Dalai Lama just prior to the Dalai Lama's return to Lhasa. Chairman Mao says, "Religion is poison. Like a poison it weakens the race. Like a drug it retards t ...

Hamlet: Many Interpretations
Number of Words: 385 / Number of Pages: 2
... have survived.
A reason must then be drawn from one's own interpretations of Hamlet.
Following two renound interpretations of Hamlet, two major conclusions can
be made. First, Shakespeare's tragedy is a work of surpassing interest and
genius, and the tragic hero is universally attractive and fascinating.
Second, only the naive will start with the assumption that there is one
obvious interpretation of the play and that the critics, not Shakespeare,
have introduced complexities into it. It would be nice to present a simple,

The Play "Amadeus" Is Mainly Concerned With The Destructive Nature Of Jealousy
Number of Words: 546 / Number of Pages: 2
... final copy, which,
although beautiful, doesn't earn money as would teaching music.
Mozart is really the one who should be jealous, as he has little in the way of
money or assets, or even respect. All he has is his talent and his priceless
music, but not the sense he needs to capitalise on it.
It isn't the fact that someone has more talent than him, the problem is, as he

which should guarantee that he is the best in the world at least until he dies.
But no. “I know myself forever mediocre” he cries as he realises that th ...

... would profit greatly. Also, South Africa had many strategic points for ports to be built. Ships traveling to India and Asia could stop at these ports.

... in battle - and so on. He may even conceived of
the proper motive which should energize back of his great deed:
The service and the loyalty I owe,
In doing it, pays itself.
But while he destroys the king's enemies, such motives work but dimly at best
and are obscured in his consciousness by more vigorous urges. In the main, as we
have said, his nature violently demands rewards: he fights valiantly in order
that he may be reported in such terms a "valour's minion" and "Bellona's
bridegroom"' he values success because it brings spectacular fame and new titles
and royal favor heaped upon him ...

He also needs to learn how to be wise in many different ways. Ismene seemed to be scared to do things. She didn’t do what she knew was right because she knew she’d be killed. was by far my favorite character. I think that part of the reason for it was that I am very stubborn, just like she is and I’m not afraid to fight for what I feel is right. She died, but it was for a very noble purpose.
