... boy is innocent, while the others attribute guilt to him. He first brings in a knife directly like the one used in the killing, to prove that it was not one of a kind.

He also makes a point of demonstrating that it was impractical for him to reach his door in 15 seconds, in order to see the boy running down the stairs. To some this and other logical arguments proved to be a "reasonable doubt", and in consequence they changed their votes to not guilty. By the ...

means which ties up the loose ends at the end of the play.
Now, Roderigo. Roderigo is a foolish, cheated, gulled, dimwit.
Basically, his function in the play is to act as a lackey towards Iago.
His obedience towards Iago can be compared to that of Lennie Small

The Crucible: Although Abigail And The Girls Initiate The Tragedy, Responsibility Lies With The Whole Salem Community
Number of Words: 911 / Number of Pages: 4
... after Mary Warren confessed that the whole story was a pretense,
Abigail continues manipulating the court room and the people within it with
antics of ‘a wind, a cold wind' and ‘Oh Heavenly Father, take away this shadow'.
In the end she is adamant to convince the court that they were only involved
with witchcraft because of Mary Warren, hoping profusely to save her own name.
Denial in Salem is considered a terrible sin. The narrow mindedness of the
court possesses an unwritten law that if your name is brought out within the
court, without any questioning, you are presumed guily. Innocence is not ta ...

King Lear: A Story Of Blindness
Number of Words: 768 / Number of Pages: 3
... how Edmund “came saucily to the world before he was sent for.” When watching the play, the viewer sees Edmund’s reaction to his father’s description, and he definitely does not look happy. Even though Gloucester knows his two sons, he believes the worst of Edgar, and what Edmund says, all too easily. I would think that Gloucester would have had some previous experience with the ways of his sons, and not believe everything that Edmund says about Edgar, without talking to Edgar first. Perhaps, after seeing Regan and Goneril lie to the King, Cordelia’s disinheritance and the banishment of Kent for hi ...

Othello: Almost Perfect

... and codes of honor thoroughly. He believes that people are honest and genuine until he has proof that they are not. The theory on judging whether or not they are your friend or foe makes Othello an attractive figure and a generous friend. However, it also leaves him vulnerable and useless to certain people who are able to manipulate this flaw, like Iago. After witnessing Iago’s exploitation on Roderigo, we see that Iago is the evil villain; meanwhile, he is innocent, noble, and overall a trustworthy individual to the eyes of Othello. This is what makes Othello easily susceptible to Iago’s sch ...

Hamlet: Appearance Versus Reality
Number of Words: 1604 / Number of Pages: 6
... like a man who loves and cares about his son,
Laertes. Polonius speaks to his son with advice that sounds sincere but in
reality it is rehearsed, hollow and without feeling. Polonius gives his
advice only to appear to be the loving caring father. The reality is he
only speaks to appear sincere as a politician, to look good rather then
actually be good:
"And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Farewell; my blessing season this in thee!"
(Act 1, Scene 3 lines 77 - 8 ...
