Iago And Honesty In Othello
.... him if “he [Cassio] is not honest?” To which Iago parrots back “Honest my lord?” This usage is constant with what Othello means, whether Cassio is honourable or not. However, Iago uses the word to cast doubt on Othello. By parroting it back, he is making it seem to Othello that he does not want to answer the question, that he doesn’t want to tell Othello something. This is seen in the subtext that Iago wishes to create. This use of it also contributes to Iago’s objective, to make Othello think the opposite, that Cassio is dishonourable, even though this contradicts what Iago later says. Shakespeare has built up tremendous s .....

Meet The Simpsons
.... decade that followed the evolution of American life. In the 1960's, there was the "Andy Griffith Show". In the 1970's, there was a different spin on family life with the show "All in the Family", which did not have the typical white collar father, and its emphasis was not on raising the children, rather it was after the children had grown up. While in the 1980's there was a split in the television programming representation of American families. There were still shows that represented the "ideal" American family, such as "Different Strokes" and "Family Ties" as well as "The Cosby Show", but there was also a more real .....

Bob Roberts: Race And Color
.... kids need to learn about all races for them not to grow up and be discriminatory towards people who are different. Poniewozik also says that, minorities are best represented on workplace dramas (ER, NYPD Blue), but sitcoms, which focus more on family and society, tend to be colorless, color blind or awkwardly color conscious (Poniewozik 2). This is the networks way to think that they integrated instead of the truth that they are segregated.
In the movie Bob Roberts, directed by Tim Robbins, the color issue is also brought up, not in a sitcom style, but in the news taking the blame for the shooting of a senatorial elect. .....

I dare damnation: to this point I stand,
That both the worlds I give to negligence,
Let come what comes; only I'll be revenged
Most thoroughly for my father.
In the scene of Ophelia's grave, Laertes' love to Ophelia is expressed when Laertes leaps into the grave and says
Hold off the earth a while,
Till I have caught her once more in mine arms:
Now pile your dust upon the quick and dead,
Till of this flat a mountain you have made
To o'ertop old Pelion or the skyish head
Of blue .....

Hamlet: Conflict Between Characters
.... needed. Polonius is a character in the play for just long enough to give the reader a good start with what is going on.
Polonius is the one character who communicates and interacts with every other character in the play. Retrospectively he pieces the play and the characters together to make them more understandable to the reader. Communication is what Polonius does well, but it is also what he does for his living. “I hold my duty as I hold my soul” (2.2.44) puts emphasis on his dedication to the King, but at the same time he has dedication to his daughter, Ophelia, his son, Laertes, and the Queen, Gertrude. His connections .....

Devaluation Of The Feminine Principle In Lady Macbeth
.... her husband's faltering virtue".3 She was considered great because once she had it in her mind what she wanted her unflinching determination in getting it was superior to all others. "The magnitude of her resolution almost covers the magnitude of her guilt"4
At first Lady Macbeth would seem to hold a resemblance to the witches in her personality. Both pushed Macbeth to become a murderer and both had completely deserted any feminism in their roles, however upon closer examination you'll notice there is a great difference between them. In a sense , Lady Macbeth is more human like. Unlike the witches she is able to feel pa .....

Feathery Friends Or Carnivorous Beasts?
.... kill all of them. Foreshadowing is used many times in this selection. When it is stated that the birds had been more restless than ever this fall of the year, it implies that something strange and unnatural is going on with the birds. Another example of foreshadowing in this selection is when smoke is not coming out of the chimney in the Trigg’s house, and the windows of the Trigg’s house were smashed. Dead and living gulls surround the house. The implication is that the Triggs are dead, for if they were alive, a fire would be burning and the windows would not be smashed. The military does try and intervene in this disaster, .....
