Tybalt clearly is motivated by self-interest because he mainly thinks about defending his pride, and thus, has the urge to kill Romeo at a party without thinking about the disgracing the Capulet name. The next day when Tybalt confronts Romeo, he accuses Romeo of being “a villain” and fiercely demands that Romeo “turn and draw” because he is unwilling to “excuse the injuries [Romeo] hast done to him”(Shakespeare III. i. 62,67-68). Tybalt challenges Romeo to a duel to regain his pride and therefore shows self-interest because he blinded by rage and his thirst for revenge.
As stated in the following quote “You shall do marvellous wisely, good Reynaldo, before you visit him, to make inquire of his behaviour” (2.1.3-5). Polonius was ordering the servant Reynaldo to spy on Laertes, and to secretly look after him. This type of logic that Polonius is using shows the distrust and fake appearance that he portrays to his own son. Another method of deception used by Polonius would be concealment. After Hamlet had staged the play, and noticed Claudius’s reaction, Gertrude was willing to speak to Hamlet about the play, and how Claudius is furious about it.
In Act 1, Scene 1, Iago and Rodrigo are talking among one another in regards to Othello not choosing Iago as his lieutenant and how Rodrigo longings for Desdemona. Iago conveys a plan to get back at Othello and also to help Rodrigo achieve his desire for Desdemona. Angry, Iago reveals his hatred upon Othello by waking Desdemona's father, Brabantio, and informing him about his daughter not being in her room and is out marrying the Moor, Othello. In Act 2, Scene 1, Iago suspects Othello having an affair with Iago's wife. Already we can see this villain spawning but does not show his hate to Othello.
Summary Analysis The play “Much Ado about Nothing” by William Shakespeare is a love story that he incorporated deception in which the characters engage in humorously. Don Pedro, the Prince of Aragon, plays Cupid in this seemingly multi-sided romance between Claudio and Hero, as well as Beatrice and Benedick. Claudio, who seems to fall in love with Hero in an instant, implores Don Pedro to woo Hero for him. Don Pedro obliges his protégé. However, the first deception happens at the party when Don John, Don Pedro’s evil illegitimate half-brother, tells Claudio that Don Pedro is double crossing him.
In Shakespeare’s play, “Othello”, the character Iago is no different from those characteristics deceptive individuals. Behind his facade as a trustworthy ensign and friends, Iago multilayered, deceptive and manipulative villain, concocting chaos and causing mishaps to other characters for revenge. Iago uses his deft and astute strategic acts of manipulation to undermine each character’s weaknesses. He exploits Roderigo’s love for Desdemona, Cassio under the guise of friendships, and toys with Othello’s mind by playing on his self-doubt. Evidently, Iago manipulates the people around him by using their weaknesses, Roderigo’s naivete, Cassio’s trusting nature, and Othello’s insecurity, against them.
Another example of how tybalt is a trouble maker is in act one scene 5 Tybalt spots Romeo at a Capulet party. Furious at this invasion of Capulet territory, he wants to fight with Romeo right then and there. Also last but least in act 3 scene 1 where Tybalt expresses his troublemaking way the most when he was looking for trouble and wanted to fight romeo and romeo said he didn't wish to fight, Mercutio was taking up for romeo and Tybalt killed him. Benvolio on the other hand portrays himself as a peacemaker in so many ways in this play.He did not like seeing trouble and tried to stop it as much as possible and tried his best to keep the peace. First off His name, Benvolio, means well wishing, which is reflective of his character throughout the play.In the very first scene, Benvolio establishes himself as a peacemaker as he tries to stop the fight between the servants.Also in Act 3 scene 1 Benvolio warns that the Capulets are around looking to start a fight.
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. Iago reveals, “That thinks men honest that but seem to be so, and will as tenderly be led by the nose as asses are. I have ‘t. it is sengender’d. Hell and night must bring this monstrous birth to the worlds light” (Shakespeare 1.
Iago is able to skirt the issue and convince him of where his loyalties lie, “I follow to serve my turn upon him. We cannot all be masters, nor all masters Cannot truly followed. You shall mark Many a duteous and knee-crooking knave” (1.1. 43-47) Iago persuades Roderigo to believe in his convoluted scheme to exact revenge on Othello. To keep his plans on track and to essential keep the plot progressing he convinces Roderigo that he should wake Desdemona’s father, Brabantio, to inform him of his daughter’s nuptials.
He insults Polonius calling him a Whore-Monger. After this exchange Polonius remarks “Though this be madness, yet there is method in't” (II, II, 204). Meaning that Hamlet could be mad but that there seems to be intent behind his madness. When Rozencranz and Guildenstern visit Hamlet he receives them kindly until he learns they are spying for his mother. He then increases his feigned madness.
Polonius effectively demonstrates notions of corruption throughout the play. As Polonius himself is corrupt and false he cannot think of others as genuine. In Act 1, Scene 3, Polonius interferes with his daughter’s relationship with Hamlet - doubt’s Hamlet’s integrity, sincerity and affection for Ophelia, “Do not believe his vows” Polonius elucidates his corruption and falsity at the very beginning of Act 2, when he gives Reynaldo money to spy on his own son Laertes’ behaviour in Paris, through devious and indirect methods such as lies, “Inquire... and there put on him what forgeries you please”. Shakespeare’s examination of corruption through the interaction and relationships apparent between Hamlet and Gertrude,
