though she was very cool and really did a good job of expressing her feelings
toward her art. One important aspect of her art was that for her seeing her

Othello: The Pathological Jealously Of Iago
<view this essay>.... His plan is calculated and
pre-meditated with Roderigo being a mere source of cash. Iago explains his

victories "at Rhodes, at Cyprus, and on other grounds/ Christened and heathen,
must be beleed and calmed/ By debitor and creditor." (lines 30-32) Iago was
denied a position of high valor and takes umbrage to the person responsible.
That person is Othello. Othello chooses Michael Cassio, whom Iago denounces as
"a Florentine." (line 21) Iago has been beaten by a Florentine with (as Iago

Macbeth: The Weird Sisters
<view this essay>.... Macbeth in the worst way. They tempted him by addressing him

Barbara Walters' Interview With Christopher Reeves
<view this essay>.... line
between ethical and unethical can usually be determined by the person in

Nielson ratings are god, there is no longer a place for journalistic
integrity in a profit based field. It is .....

<view this essay>.... as:
"...a representation of an action that is worth serious attention,
complete in itself, and of some amplitude; in language enriched by a
variety of artistic devices appropriate to the several parts of the
play; presented in the form of action, not narration; by means of pity
and fear bringing about the purgation of such emotion. (Aristotle 38 -
9)
Shakespeare uses character, plot and setting to create a mood of disgust
and a theme of proper revenge, as opposed to fear and pity, hence Aristotle
would have disapproved of Hamlet. It is the above mentioned elements;
character, plot and setting, used in a non-Aristotelian way, that mak .....
