Othello: Iago Makes Othello Believe His Wife Is Having An Affair
<view this essay>.... He's done my
office" (I.iii.381-383). The irony behind this line is where he continues: "I
know not if't be true/ But I, for mere suspicion in that kind; / Will do as if
for surety"(I.iii.383-385). Iago is so exceedingly paranoid and insane that he
will go far as murdering, and deluding even a general into murdering his wife.
Iago simultaneously conducts a devious plan to obtain Cassio's position
as lieutenant, using Desdemona's prime weakness; her naivety. He disgraces
Cassio by intoxicating him enough so he strikes Roderigo. Othello then
discharges Cassio of his Lieutenancy when he says: "Cassio, I love thee,/ But
nevermore be officer of mine" (II.iii .....

The Tempest: Drunk And More Drunk
<view this essay>.... interesting in the story.
Trinculo and Stephano were primarily used for comic relief. Comic
relief is very important because the story must be able to keep the
audience interested. What better to make someone laugh than a pair of
drunk servants. During the duration of the story their drunkenness causes
them to do things that normally they wouldn't do. They blindly attempt to
take on Prospero, a powerful sorcerer and scheme how to defeat and kill him.
Who in their sober mind take on an all powerful sorcerer? This is quite
amusing because it shows us how incredibly foolish we act when we are drunk.
Of course their attempt to take on Prospero prov .....

Nor the dejected 'havior of the visage, .....

All My Sons: Miller's Chief Criticism Of American Society
<view this essay>.... to prevent his business from going bankrupt, claiming
that he did it for his family. The second example is that Sue would rather
Jim make allot of money, and not do medical research- which is what he
really wanted to do. The third example is Jim's abdication of his pursuit
of medical research do to the lack of profit involved.
In his play "All My Sons," Miller makes it apparent that society in
general values money and profit more than human life. He shows this by his
portrayal of Keller. Keller ships out cracked cylinder heads, aware that in
flight they will cause planes to crash, to save his business from being
shut down. Furthermore, he goes on to al .....

Oedipus The King: Dramatic Foreshadowing
<view this essay>.... stretch of the imagination to say that some of the greatest plays ever
written would be impotent if their elements of foreshadowing was removed.
Foreshadowing is defined, in Webster's dictionary, as `to give a
hint or suggestion of beforehand'. In drama, foreshadowing is generally
used for several purposes, including the creation of tension, creation of
atmosphere, and adds an element of credibility to a character. All of
these are important elements of a play. However it is not hard to imagine
a play in which more then half of the elements of a plot, namely exposition,
discovery, point of attack, complication and crisis all be caused by an act
of foresh .....

The Glass Menagerie: Symbols
<view this essay>.... her world. A way to escape from reality. Both examples
can readily be seen: Tom will stand outside on the fire escape to smoke, showing
that he does not like to be inside, to be a part of the illusionary world. Laura,
on the other hand, thinks of the fire escape as a way in and not a way out. This
can be seen when Amanda sends Laura to go to the store: Laura trips on the fire
escape. This also shows that Laura's fears and emotions greatly affect her
physical condition, more so than normal people.
Another symbol presented deals more with Tom than any of the other characters:
Tom's habit of going to the movies shows us his longing to leave the apartment
and he .....
