Reality Vs. Illusion
412 Words - 2 Pages.... how they think, which affects the person's
judgment on what is reality and what is an illusion. Illusions can be mistaken
as being reality and very often there is a person making another believe in the
illusion through his/her actions and speech.
The play “Othello” has the greatest example of this and is
easily understood through this example. Iago is a very intelligent man who uses
peoples weaknesses to his advantage. Iago has got to be one of Shakespeare's
most evil characters and he is a character who stands out among all of the
Shakespeare characters. Iago uses his skill to gain revenge and take advantage
of people who he believes deserves this sort of punishm ....

Essay On Flowers And Shadows
297 Words - 2 Pages.... makes an appearance at the okwe's residence; leading the
fall of Jonan's wealth and power. So who's vengeful plot brought him out
of the shadows, where his controlled madness might have fooled the likes
of Jonan for a while, but the latter's paranoia finally caught on and
killed Sowho and itself; putting a rest the destruction and curse laid
upon the poor factory workers and opening a broad new scale of
possibilities that might (in long terms) help tip the edge of demeaning
business ethics in the Nigerian society.
Anyone who read Macbeth would agree that it's quite parallel to
Flowers & Shadows. Even thought the books where written by two different

Gloucester is a character in the play who firmly believed that man’s fate has supernatural properties that are controlled or reflected by the heaven and stars:
These late eclipses in the sun and moon
Portend us to no good. Though the wisdom of
nature can reason it thus and thus, yet nature finds
itself scourged by the sequent events.
(Act 1, Sc. 2, 109 - 113)
This is proclaimed by Gloucester as he is told by Edmund of Edgar’s supposedly treacherous plot to remove him from power. Gloucester’s trust in Edgar faltered as a result of Lear’s irrational banishmen ....

The Merchant Of Venice: The Relationship Between Antonio And Bassanio
279 Words - 2 Pages.... bisexual.
Antonio seems to like Bassanio in a romantic way. Antonio is a male. Bassanio is
a male. Bassanio likes Antonio in a romantic way and also loves Portia, a female.
Also, there is another pair who I am suspicious about. They are Salanio and
Salerio. The reason is that they are always together, just like siamese twins.
When Salanio comes, Salerio comes. When Salerio goes, Salanio goes.
Here is a famous quote by Shakespeare, ÒThe love that dares not speak its name.Ó
In the play, there are many places where Antonio expresses love for Bassanio;
for example, Òlove the world for BassanioÓ and also Ògreat affection for
BassanioÓ.This certainly appeals to me that Ant ....

Happy Loman: A Living Disgrace
441 Words - 2 Pages.... home after deserting
their father at the restaurant, Happy attempts to cool his mom's anger by
saying "But, Mom, he had a great time with us...(120)" By telling people
what they want to hear, Happy thinks he will be well liked and accepted.
Happy's approach to women is quite despicable. Rather than trying
to settle down with someone, he goes through one girl after another. All
that he cares about is having sex with women, not about having a
relationship. Happy brags to his brother about his conquest of sleeping
with women who are engaged to be married (25). In a conniving attempt to
pick her up, he lies to the girl in the restaurant saying, "I sell
champagne, and I'd ....

2213 Words - 9 Pages.... his wooing.
O my Antonio, had I but the means/To hold a rival
place with one of them [other suitors]/I have a
mind presages me such thrift/That I should
questionless be fortunate!" (Shakespeare,
Merchant 1.1 173-176)
However, Antonio has, "neither the money, nor commodity/to raise a present
sum" but urges Bassanio to 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 be ....

Antony & Cleopatra: The Definition Of Love
1969 Words - 8 Pages.... to define either one of these concepts. Because it is difficult to define these terms, it is difficult to tell if people are truly in love. It appears that Romeo and Juliet are more likely lusting for each other rather than loving each other. It also appears that Antony is more in love with the idea of Cleopatra than with the woman herself. This kind of thing is very common. People often think very highly of the person that they met at on vacation, even if the person would not have been right for them. It is more likely that they love the place and the time rather than the person. Antony is also the greatest Roman soldier, and the respect for him by the people is eno ....

Antigone: Changing Views Of The Chorus
807 Words - 3 Pages.... making him seem quite
noble yet mysterious to his loyal subjects. They state such questions as: “
what new plan will he launch?” and “Why this sudden call to the old men
summoned at one command?” (Lines 175-178) These lines are utilized by
Sophocles as a suspenseful introduction to Creon's orders concerning the body
of Polynices.
The chorus's next appearance blatantly shows their biased attitudes
against Antigone and her exiled father Oedipus. At this point they still sing
praise for King Creon and his unwavering decisions concerning the law which was
placed upon the city regarding the body of Polynices: “When he weaves in the
laws of the land, and the justice ....
