If ‘Othello’ was a racist play then Othello would have been portayed very differently, more violent and rude, however he is shown as being much more respectful and calmer than the other men around him as illustrated in the quote, ‘approved good masters’. He then continues on to admit that he has indeed planned to marry Brabantio’s daughter, ‘it is most true; true that I have married her’. It was a stereotype in those days that black people were very sly and lied a lot, however the stereotype seemed to have been very wrongful in this case because Othello very bravely admitted to his actions and also says that that is the only ‘offense’ that he has commited, ‘The very head and front of my offending hath this extent, no more.’ A Shakespearian audience would normally expect a black man to be portayed as a very uneducated, sly and devilish character however these qualities are shown in Brabantio instead of Othello. Othello then talks about how he is a fighter, nothing more,
In the novel the wave, Morton Rhue demonstrates how the characters come to comprehend that social pressure is abhorrent and its threatening force not only in the German Nazi but in an average day life. Robert is one of the characters with an optimistic attitude towards the experiment thinking that it was positive and that it was authorized for everyone to feel equal. David also felt what Robert was feeling from the beginning of the trial until he recognized the negativity and the unconstructiveness of research. David has come to thought that the experiment has made him force and brainwash others to become a member of The Wave, how he peer pressured those who didn’t want to be in group or when he nearly hurt his girlfriend Laurie Saunders. This is evident when David held her tightly and whispered “God, I’m sorry”.
That shows that he had some time to himself and for his thoughts. All the photos he had clicked of the war, were set out in ordered rows, making him feel nostalgic and remember all the places he had been to and how they all had been torn apart by war. It shows that he was extremely disturbed. The poet uses a metaphor ‘spools of suffering’ which shows the theme of death. It also is a effectual comparison as it shows that it’s not the spools that are suffering, but it’s the photos arranged on the spools.

“In both cases the evil they did was not intended; it was perhaps easy to “feel” that the evil was not their doing, to feel that it had an accidental quality.” (p. 233) many of the people that participated in the experiment and the German soldiers that participated in the Holocaust believe that they are not responsible for what happened they were just following orders and doing what they were told to do. This shows how people do what they are told not thinking of the consequences of their actions.

Portia has to deal with prejudice against her gender, the Prince of Morocco has to cope with prejudice against his race but the character that is most discriminated against is Shylock. He is hated for being a Jew and a money-lender, but Shakespeare has not made Shylock a character easy to sympathize with. He appears to be mean and cruel and it seems as though he loves his money above all else. However during the play there are moments when Shakespeare gives Shylock speeches which show his humaneness and compassion. In these moments, although at the time it was written there was little tolerance of Jews, during these moments the modern day audience would certainly feel sorry for him.
