Othello then sees and claims Iago to be ‘honest’ throughout the play and believing all the lies that is told to him. This shows that Othello was not responsible for the bulk of the tragedy but being very gullible and not thinking twice for his actions towards his surroundings and helping Iago’s plan for revenge. Quoted by Iago in Act 3 Scene 3, “Men should be what they seem”, gives the irony of illusion and reality. There is an extensive jealousy with Othello and thinking Desdemona is having an affair with Cassio using the napkin Othello gave to Desdemona as the symbol between them, building a chaotic wrath inside
Another example of betrayal in the movie Mean Girls would be when Cady gets all of Regina’s good friends to turn against her. Another good example would be when Janis Ian gets mad at Cady because Cady starts to get sucked into the popularity, this also shows betrayal. These all are examples of betrayal that portray the theme “you have to be careful who you trust”. In the play Julius Caesar the character Cassius is plotting against the main character Julius Caesar. Caesar thinks Cassius is a good man and that he will not cause any trouble.
Impetuous and rash decisions that have unavoidable consequences for both Romeo and Juliet are the reason for their eventual, tragic demise. Romeo and Juliet’s rash decision to marry after one alacritous meeting was the first of many hasty actions that lead them to their deaths. Romeo proposed to his “loathed enemy”, the daughter of his fathers rival, Lord Capulet. This was the first of many rash decisions made on his behalf. However, Romeo is not solely at fault.
It is Friar Laurence’s good intentions, and willingness that lead to the death of these death-marked lovers. Throughout, the course of the play, Friar Laurence greatly affects the events and outcomes of this love story with his want for peace, true love, and misguided loyalty. That in the end leads him to making irresponsible decisions that ultimately kill Romeo and Juliet. There are three major events that Friar Laurence plays an imperative, crucial role in; often gives Romeo high-quality advice, also when the Friar agrees to marry the teenagers, and the faking of Juliet’s death. Friar Laurence is a great advisor, who is the person Romeo often goes to talk to.
Already we can see this villain spawning but does not show his hate to Othello. In addition, Iago influences Othello to believe that Desdemona is cheating while all along she is being truthful about her innocence. Iago does this to try to gain Othello's trust in hopes that when Cassio is lowered from his
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.
Hamlet feels heartbroken when his mother, Gertrude marries the new King, Claudius. Hamlet is also seen as a tragic hero because he faces and accepts death with honor. However, it is not just Hamlet that could be seen as a tragic hero, Ophelia and Gertrude can also be seen as tragic heroes. Aristotle defined tragedy as 'the imitation of an action that is serious and also, as having magnitude, complete in itself'. A tragic hero will effectively gain our fear and pity if he is a good mixture of good and evil.
Richard starts his campaign to prove he is evil by setting his two brothers against each other in order for Edward to eliminate Clarence so that Richard may make it one step closer to the throne. One of Richards more evil plans is to seduce Anne and marry her even though he feels no love for the women whose husband and father in law he killed in cold blood. Richards’s lies are consistent through the play as he manipulates and deceives his way to the throne and is the last way that he attempts to prove himself a villain. The love and compassion felt by fellow family members is lost on the twisted Richard who deceives and manipulates his brothers into hating each other to the point where Edward uses his power to send his brother Clarence to prison. One of Richards’s skills is the ability to influence the actions on almost all the other characters in the play except for the majority of the women who see him for the villain that he truly is.
Loneliness puts The Monster in a mentally unstable position. He believes that he is a monster for the reason being he was created by one. In comparison, Othello’s betrayal is demonstrated throughout the play, but especially through Iago when he confesses to the audience his plan to manipulate and destroy Othello’s love life with Desdemona. Although Othello trusts Iago with anything, Iago hates the “Moor” and is willing to do anything to destroy him. Iago feels that the best way to do so is by manipulating Othello telling him that his wife is cheating on him with Cassio, who Iago coincidently hates as well.
How does Shakespeare present the theme of jealousy in Othello? Firstly, jealousy is the main theme in the play. It basically takes over the character's lives causing them to do stupid things. For example, at the beginning of the play, Roderigo is already jealous of Othello as Othello has Desdemona and he does not. Another example of jealousy is at the end of the play where Othello thinks that Desdemona has been unfaithful towards him with Casio.
