Grendel had no hall, no lord, and he disobeyed the laws of warfare by attacking at night. For this, Grendel’s point of view is a little skewed for he has such a burning hatred for men that he murders and eats them. When hearing of Beowulf, he is the shining example of everything that Grendel hates. Over the course of the novel, the reader realizes how much Grendel acts like a human and how his train of thought is more rational than portrayed in Beowulf. This personification is shown throughout because of his complex thought patterns.

He beats him, he throws pomegranates at him, he is no longer willing to be his friend even though that is the only thing in the world Hassan wants and needs after his horrific experience.
Paul is frustrated by Keller’s methods; he patronises Paul by making him play pieces that are not challenging enough, such as The Children’s Bach. In this sense he holds Paul back, restricting him from making any improvement. Keller has drinking and has obvious emotional issues that make him erratic; this gets to the stage where he is forced to call off a lesson because he is too drunk. His view of the world is so negative and pessimistic which is not good for a young man such as Paul. He dismisses Vienna and claims that it ‘hides the hypocrisy within…’ Keller sees only imperfection in everything and therefore will never be happy with his own performance, let alone Paul’s.
Othello and Desdemona’s marriage is sabotaged by Iago’s deceit, which in the end succeeds in deteriorating Othello’s mentality to the point that he murders his own wife Desdemona despite her innocence. Iago’s malignant, misogynistic persona is unveiled in his Soliloquy when he declares “I hate the Moor”. His resentment in Othello and women as well as his inner torment is seen when he envisions to “…make the net that shall enmesh them all” leading to the act of evil, Iago also claims that he had “Never found a man who knew how to love himself,” which further emphasises and suggests his narcissistic and misogynistic personality. Despite being a flawed character himself Iago highlights the flaws in other characters and exploits them for his own desires. Othello, despite his noble characteristics and valiant conduct, is shown to have weaknesses vulnerable to Iago’s hidden agenda.
Thus, Webster is presenting a world of disorder and a lack of moral certainty. Act 1, scene two presents the misogynous nature of the male characters. It sets up to love affair between Brachiano and
Iago Devon Iago may be the most evil character in all of Shakespeare’s plays, He is interesting for is terrible characteristics. He has very little convincing motivations for his actions, in the first scene he says he is angry because Othello passed him over for the rank of lieutenant (act 1scene 1 line 7-32). At the end of act 1 scene 3, he also states that he thinks Othello has slept with his wife Emilia: “It is thought abroad the ‘twixt my sheets, He has done my office” (act 1 scene 3. 369-379) he also mentions this again at the end of act 2 scene 1, while explain that he would have sex with Desdemona if he got the chance to get even with Othello, “wife for wife” (act 2 scene 1. 286).
Othello is insecure and this leads him to doubt and gullibility. Iago hates the moor as stated in Act 2 Scene 1 ‘I hate the Moor.’ Iago really has no motive to destroy the moor, he is an evil and deceitful man. Othello is ignorant and naïve to Iago’s hatred. Iago realizes Cassio’s womanizing ways and the way he speaks friendly to Desdemona. He manipulates this situation, and uses Othello’s insecurity, to make him believe that Cassio and Desdemona are having an affair.
Iago states it himself in 1.3.387-388 “I hate the Moor; And it is thought abroad that twixt my sheets”. There is a motivation that is never actually mentioned in the play, and that is that Iago has homosexual feeling for Othello. Iago is jealous of Othello’s affection towards Desdemona and that is one of the reasons why he manipulates Othello into killing her. There is also a burning hatred towards Othello. Iago’s anger towards Othello is really anger at himself for his unholy wants.
