.... Iago then placed the handkerchief in Cassio's room to make him look guilty. Also, throughout the play, it seemed that Othello was the only one who didn't know the truth. Shakespeare uses situational irony well to make the story more interesting. The verbal irony in this novel can sometimes be humorous because of how ironic it is. Othello often said things that were actually the opposite of Iago: "O, thou art wise! 'Tis certain"(IV.I.87), "Honest Iago . . .

.... go through Venice to try to secure a loan using Antonio's bond as credit (Shakespeare, Merchant 1.1 178-179). One of the resident money-lenders of Venice is an individual called Shylock, a person of Jewish descent. The practice of usury was traditionally banned by the Christian church. This allowed many Jews, because their belief system contained no objection to profitable money-lending, to become the de facto loan officers. Bassanio approaches Shylock to ask for a loan, and Shylock seems as if he is going to agree, however, he first asks to speak with Antonio. It is revealed in an a .....

.... instead. The central question of this play is a political one. What should have more power within a society, the divine laws of the gods or the laws of the land and the mortal rulers? Antigone is a representation of the divine laws of the gods, and she remains steadfast to her beliefs that the wishes of the gods should overpower the wishes of the king. Creon, on the other hand, is the representation of the laws of the land and the mortal ruler of society. He, too, remains steadfast (until the end of the play when he realizes the divine laws are stronger) in upholding his laws and trying .....

.... flaws. He is a really gullible person, for example he was tricked by Iago; thinking that Desdemona was really having an affair with Cassio. “ ` Did he confess it?'” (134). He trusts Iago too much and totally relies on Iago therefore making him really vulnerable to Iago's evilish schemes. Othello's gullibility causes him to be jealous. He let's his jealousy take over, he looses control of himself and acts on his jealous emotions, he let's his jealousy clutter his mind and good judgment. “`Damn her, lewd minx! O, damn her, damn her! Come go with me part. I will withdraw To fur .....

.... which reflects on her acting like a boy. For someone not knowing the present culture this would have no effect on the story. At one point in this scene tells her parents that they are out of milk. To a person who isn’t familiar with the culture this would seem out of line. She comes off in a rude way which would make her seem like the one at fault to an outsider. The way this scene is perceived could extremely vary from culture to culture. ’s parents need to make their child feel more noticed and loved. She requires much more attention than what she is receiving. ’s family w .....

.... that we, as a people, are watching too much T.V. They would have you believe that we could be doing better things with our lives. They would have you believe that we can make more out of ourselves. But what do they know? Have they ever done any research to prove their theories? No, they haven't. But the people behind such propaganda as National T.V-Turnoff Week really do believe that not watching television can enhance your life, so let us examine their reasoning. Linda Weltner suggests that instead of watching television one can take up a craft such a knitting. Sure knitting is a go .....

.... upbringing. Eight goes into the case assuming the 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 discounts the testimony of the old man, saying it was impossible for him to hear the boy scream over the roar of the passing El-train. 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 .....
