Iago is jealous of him because he suspects Othello has slept with his wife Emilia. Instead, she is captivated with him and loves him with all her heart and soul. Iago again is jealous so he begins to set his plot to destroy Othello into motion. He is just and evil and diabolical person. He is a manipulative, deceitful murderer.
Again Macbeth’s conscience comes into play when he says, “We still have judgement here; that we but teach / Bloody instruction, which being taught return / To plague the inventor: this even-handed justice,” (I, vii, 8-10). He knows what he is doing wrong and that there will be consequences even before he murders Duncan. Macbeth is a weak man however, and ignores his conscience; he instead gives in to his power-hungry wife’s greed and allows his ambition to lead him on a dastardly journey. Although it may seem as though Duncan’s murder was not only Macbeth’s doing, he had a
And finally when Sam tries to warn him that he may have damaged their relationship by demanding that Sam address him as Master Harold, Hally further demonstrates his arrogance by stating: “The truth? I seem to be the only one around here who is prepared to face it.” Yet despite all this, Hally is appealing to us as a young man who has been injured by the circumstances of his birth. When he describes how he approached Sam for help in fetching his father from the bar, we can empathize with the shame he must have felt at having to go and fetch his father who lay on the barroom floor. We can understand the relationship that builds between the young boy and the man when Hally reminisces: “Little white boy in short trousers and a black man old enough to be his father flying a kite. It's not every day you see that.” We have no difficulty understanding why the memory of the kite is
The first words that we here from Tybalt was that he hates hell as all Montagues. Tybalt wanted to kill Romeo just for coming to the party. As Tybalt watch the Montagues drive away from the Capulets party he said “I will withdraw but this intrusion shall, now seeming sweet, convert to bitterest gall.” If Romeo had of told Tybalt of his love for Juliet, Tybalt would have killed Romeo at the first site of him but he did not so it was not Romeos love that killed Tybalt. Tybalt did not really care if he killed any of the Montagues but because Tybalt killed Mercutio Romeo killed Tybalt
She will be the man here” (519). This quote explains Kreon’s irritation on Antigone. The very moment Antigone buries her be loving brother’s body Kreon wants to take action with killing her because she disobeyed his law also Antigone’s sister, Ismene, because Kreon believes she was part of it too. Kreon believes if he does not kill Antigone he will no longer be one of the best rulers that people will look up too. This quote is important because it explains how Kreon begins to commit hubris.
Othello “I am not what I am” 1. In the first quote Iago is ranting on how he wants the position of lieutenant but did not obtain it due to the fact Othello choose Cassio which he also states how he is more fit to have Cassio’s position because of his inexperience. This angers him because he sees no reason why he wasn’t chosen even though he had plenty of recommendations .In the next quote it is to be believed that Iago is almost revealing that fact that he is a dishonest and betraying character with lines like “We cannot all be masters, nor all masters cannot be truly follow’d.” which shows that he doesn’t plan to follow Othello as his leader or master while acknowledging that some aren’t fit to be in a masters place and ”I am not what I am ”. that line expressing how he is more than meets the eye and what you see is not always what you will get when it comes to his character. In the third quote Iago is expressing how although he may hate the moor for now he shall show a sign of peace and love because it is a necessity at the moment as he even says ”though I do hate him as I do hell-pains yet, for necessity of present life I must show a flag and sign of love” it’s almost as if he is swallowing his pride for the time being to not jeopardize his plans in the
Even at the beginning of the scene where she is so confident that her plan is fool proof and her husband has killed Duncan (lines 4-8), where she says, “he is about it … “. From the very beginning we perceive Lady Macbeth as manipulative and deeply ambitious and essentially has the power to control her husband's actions. This is evident through the plot to kill King Duncan in Act 2 scene 2. Lady Macbeth insulted her husbands manhood stating: "What beast wasn’t then, When you durst do it then you were a man; And to be more.... Showing that she would be even more of a man if she were him, thus forcing him to slowly leave his conscience aside and do what his wife has told him.
However, Macbeth has the ultimate decision in whether or not to commit the assassinations, but he loves Lady Macbeth and wishes to please her. After Macbeth kills Duncan, he fairly disappointed in himself for doing it. After killing Duncan, murdering others appears to be the only solution to continue to cover up his terrible actions or lose all that he has driven for. Lady Macbeth is force on Macbeth that unleashes the wicked part of him. She has a forceful impact on him and is another key character to blame for his developing desire of killing others to get away with her master plan.
From the short story "Spanish Roulette" by Ed Vega the poet Sixto vows revenge against a local gang member who raped his sister and battles with himself to make the right choice. Although revenge may be the momentary satisfaction in times of despair, no man extracts revenge for the sake of evil, without the intent of profiting from it, and will be punished for it, regardless of reason, in this life or the next. The theme of these stories is the ability to let go of ones hate, to allow themselves the chance to heal without making the dreaded mistake of taking revenge which will ultimately destroy themselves. The message is clear through all three texts that revenge achieves nothing but gambles everything worth losing for the momentary satisfaction of vengeance. Although the three texts go about different ways, reasons, and potential gain by exacting revenge it is very clear through each story that it is never the best answer.
Iago believes “bewixt my sheet He’s [Othello] done my office”, meaning Othello has had sexual relations with his wife, Emilia. Iago’s pride has been severely bruised, he now feels displaced in his private life by Othello and in his working life by Cassio. Reading on in the play, Othello seems to be a very moral character, a complete contrast to Iago. We see how in love Othello is with Desdemona and as an audience we find it very hard to believe that this is true, Othello would never do such a thing.
