Some of them are good like Desdemona and some are corrupted like Bianca and Emilia. Desdemona is the girl who marries a man who her father does not approve. She marries an outsider even though she knows that when she does this she is going against her family and even against society. In her eyes there is nothing wrong with her marriage and she loves Othello with all of her heart. Her love is pure and sweet and nothing that happens in this play sways that love.
Each character portrays a specific example that brings out their honorable ways. Proctor is a very honorable character, despite the few mistakes he made in the past. The main mistake he made was he committed adultery with his housekeeper Abigail. As the play goes on, his wife Elizabeth gets falsely accused for witchcraft and Proctor does not agree with this. Elizabeth is still mad at Proctor for what he did, but Proctor knows that he should fight for his wife because he loves her.
Look here it is.”(III.iii.) Iago’s manipulative ways have earned him what he needs to succeed in the demise of his counterparts. By being loyal to her husband, Emilia has caused a great deal of harm to the woman she cares so deeply for. Another conversation of Desdemona is brought up between the Ancient and his general and this time Iago explains to Othello that he had seen Cassio with his ladies handkerchief. Othello later questions Desdemona about the handkerchief and she cannot answer where it is.
This was a brave action on behalf of Juliet because disobeying Sir Capulet, her father, was considered a sin. In Scene 2 of Act 4 Juliet says: ”Where I have learned me to repent the sin of disobedient opposition.” This brings me to another point because Juliet did not truly mean this; however, she knew exactly what to say in order to make her parents happy. All the lies she told were just another way showing her immense loyalty to Romeo. Her sincerity to Romeo surpasses even the faithfulness to her family. This constant battle to be with Romeo is turned into a main them or conflict in the story, society versus individual choices.
The use of slapstick by Wilde produces a contrived and absurd plotline that is in every way unrealistic. The lack of morality in the characters defines how undeveloped they are. For example, Algernon uses the aphorism, "The only way to behave to a woman is to make love to her if she is pretty, and to someone else if she is plain" highlighting his ignorance and casual selfishness. Each one of the characters is in some way lacking either true morality or even awareness of reality. Gwendolyn in particular is fond and proud of her education yet in the end she easily forgives Jack for lying to her throughout the play underlying a sense of stupidity.
The Role of Relationships In William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, the role of relationships is expressed in three types of relationships which are love, friend and parent child relationships. The four significant relationships are the relationship between Hamlet and Ophelia, Hamlet and Gertrude, Gertrude and Claudius and Hamlet and Horatio. Hamlet and Ophelia’s love relationship is not accepted by her family because they think Hamlet is only using her. Hamlet and Gertrude’s parent child relationship gets weak because of her marriage to her brother in law Claudius, which Hamlet does not like that. Claudius and Gertrude’s love relationship is seen as incest by Hamlet, while Horatio and Hamlet’s friendship is a good friendship because Horatio is someone that Hamlet trust and can depend on for anything.
This lack of structure around Jacob’s character alters our perception on who her character is and what she stands for in the play. Desdemona’s confidence in the love she bears for Othello is what inspires her boldness and bluntness. Yet the passion of her love both arouses and unnerves her husband too, adding to the seeds of fear and suspicion. However, without us, the viewer, seeing this confidence from Jacob, she just looks like a
These are innocent people who are being hung because they won’t confess to witchcraft, something they really didn’t do. As these innocent people are being pushed off, the look in Abigail’s face is very disturbing. It is almost a look of satisfaction. One can really see how evil Abigail is becoming; it also becomes very obvious at this point that Abigail is the antagonist of the play. She knows that these people are being hung on her part, yet the look on her face shows no remorse or guilt but rather satisfaction.
Wilde explores the subject of morality frequently within the play and the conflicting ideas surrounding the topic. Wilde particularly explores the idea of women ‘falling from grace’. This can be seen in the character of Mrs Arbuthnot. The character is quite obviously a good, strong woman who has taken her misfortunes in stride and not let them bring her down too much, as well as raising her son to also be a good person. Many people would argue that the blame for her misfortune should solely lay on Lord Illingworth, who, it is obvious to the audience, used her for his own pleasure and satisfaction, abusing her love and trust.
In the play king Lear, mercy is an insatiable trait which is surrounded by so much hate and malice every time love is given it makes those moments so much more enjoyable. In the begging of the Play King Lear, Cordelia the king’s daughter, is outcast, cheated of her inheritance accused of being a wicked child and one that nature is a shamed of (I,i,215-219). Even though at the beginning of the play king Lear disowns his daughter and she has every right to be unloving to him; when they are reunited King Lear offers to harm himself but Cordelia turns that idea away and forgives him when she asks to take a walk with her father (4,VII,83). People want to see mercy, they want to see those that deserve worse receive compassion and mercy Lear deserved to be turned away but Cordelia showed tenderness to her aging father and
