He is an essential part of Venetian municipal society. Othello is of great value and demand in the eyes of Duke and senate as it’s evident when Cassio voices that, “sent about three several requests” to look for Othello to the senate. Othello is also trusted by the Venetian government who permit it him in full martial and political command of Cyprus. Othello also reminds the Venetians of the service he has provided for their state in his death speech. “…I have done the state some service, and they know’t”.
Carl Rogers, The author of the essay “Communication: Its Blocking and its Facilitation”, presents the idea that communication between people today is struggling. Rogers states that the “major factors in blocking or impending communication” is due to “our very natural tendency to judge” other people’s thoughts, ideas, and opinions without ever being in their shoes (419). Rogers goes in depth on the overlaying problems of communication these days but also gives us various ways to help us communicate on a new level of understanding. When communicating with individuals, we must listen and not immediately judge the person. Rogers puts blame on this as one of the biggest reasons for communication breakdown.
All this is part of his 'propaganda war' to appear a good and deserving leader of France by maintaining the moral high ground. Constantly focusing on maintaing the moral high ground makes a big impact on how successful Henry was. From early on he goes along with the seige even though most of his men were suffering from dystentry; he still manages to inspire them even though they were extremely ill. Once Henry had captured Harfleur he was confident enough to write a letter to the
Overall, the importance of authenticity can be shown through a variable human self that is determined by the adjustment of natural or artificial identities. The individual identities that each of us conveys are subject to change at any given moment. The simple reason is that we all have the choice to display what we want of ourselves. Deciding whether or not we want to “cover” or “tone down a disfavored identity to fit into the mainstream” (Yoshino 245) complicates our authenticity. It is the two identities
Augustus had an exceptional public image; the citizens of Rome had great respect and admiration for him and held him in the highest of esteems. The aims and methods which he employed to gain this public image reveal that he was tactful, however occasionally underhand. His public image was developed through a long, slow process which consisted of some sidestepping and backtracking but above all, constant vigilance . As the restorer of the republic Augustus had a huge task ahead of him, but he took on the responsibility and set out to make others believe that he was the right man for the job. Through restoring the republic and bringing peace to the empire, reorganisation of the army, his building reforms and successful use of propaganda, his
Shakespeare portrays Othello as the classic hero, prior to Othello’s downfall. Othello is a man of honesty, integrity, of friendship and virtue- he is a man so well established both physically and mentally, that everyone looks up to him. His service towards the state of Venice, as a black army general, ranks him high within the Venetian society and therefore people saw him as a hero. Othello’s solid character is also, one of the reasons why Desdemona falls for him. Othello’s stories, his values and his composed demeanour won Desdemona’s
Cassio is convinced of Iago’s love for him – Iago acts genuinely concerned with his situation. When Iago proposes a solution to Cassio’s seemingly hopless situation, Cassio is grateful and therefore rewards Iago with all his trust and respect. “I never knew a Florentine more kind and honest,” (Shakespeare, 113), Cassio exclaims after Iago exits. Iago has thus, without any severely complex machinations, ensured Cassio as a token in his plot against Othello. Of course, for Iago, getting Othello to love and trust him is not difficult – he is already a respected soldier in the army and Othello’s ancient.
The fact that not all thanes could be as courageous and have so many heroic achievements for their countries and rulers is why Beowulf seems so ideal and extraordinary. Beowulf's many achievements told throughout the story gives him the appearance of the most faithful of thanes, who has climbed the social ladder not because he has meant to do so, but because he wishes to protect his country and others and give all the credit to its rulers. This sort of behavior gives him a kind and generous nature that can be traced to a kind of chivalry. Chivalry can also be considered a very important role in the creation of a thane's reputation and popularity. Through Beowulf's chivalry, generosity, friendship, and popularity, all of his kingdom and of others knew him for his heroism and loyalty.
The chivalric code of honor’s purpose was to guide King Arthur’s knights toward being true nobleman. Following the code meant you were to have five very important qualities, brotherly love, a pure mind, boundless beneficence, manners, and of course compassion. These five qualities are what made King Arthur and his entire fellow knights so memorable to us all. I would have to say that to me them having brotherly love towards each other was what made them inimitable, meaning they were to treat each other as if they were blood brothers, along with mutually respecting and defending each other. Sir Gawain was Arthur’s nephew and one of his most loyal knight, is our best example of chivalry there is, he shows compassion to anyone in need and he also is known for being tenderhearted man.
Not only are there ties of friendship, but there is also an element of respect and reverence in both friendships. Horatio and Nala both know that they are friends and loyal followers of the rightful king.
