He also ties loose ends. For example, in the Parodos on pages 1072-1073, the Choragus helps explain the background of the fight between Polyneices and Eteocles, which explains why some characters acted a certain way. From this information, I was able to foreshadow upcoming events. In lines 21-26, The Choragus declares, “For God hates utterly the bray of bragging tongue’s; and when he beheld their smiling, their swagger of golden helms, the frown of his thunder blasted their first man from our walls” (1073). In my opinion, dramatic irony was added because Creon is slightly arrogant character.
Brutus is an honerable man.... the words chosen by Mark Anthony in William Shakespeare's popular play "Julius Caesar." Anthony starts the speech off speaking how Brutus just explained how Caesar was an ambitious man which is why he was murdered. Anthony argues with that stating how Caesar gave to the needy when they needed, "When the poor has cried, Caesar has wept." Following this statement he mocks Brutus saying, "But Caesar was ambitious, and Brutus is an honorable man." After that was all stated he reminded the people how Carsar did turn down the kings crown multiple times, "I thrice presented him a kinlgy crown, Which he did thrice refuse."
He recalls when Othello passed him over promotion for the position of lieutenant. He sarcastically describes Othello as pompous, “Loving his own pride and purposes”, as he used military language to deliver the message that he has already chosen another man. “Horribly stuffed with epithets of war”. The rhetorical question Iago’s uses, “And what was he?” Prepares him to delve further into why he despises Othello. Iago believes that Othello has greatly misjudged choosing “Michael Cassio”, over him, as Cassio is a “Mere prattle without practice”.

Niccolo Machiavelli, an illegitimate son of Pope Alexander VI, stresses an epitome of political behavior for a leader in The Prince. Cesare Borgia, the prince in the book, illustrates similar Machiavellian characteristics as Commodus in “Gladiator.” Commodus is the ruthless emperor who ignorantly challenges the life of many Romans, including gladiator Maximus Decimus Meridius. He expresses his emotions frequently and violently in the film, indirectly making evidence to support such repetitive Machiavellian behavior. Commodus is a Machiavellian hero due to his nature regarding false virtue with himself, his family, and the people of Rome. Commodus, without realizing, is active in making decisions that affect him negatively.
Prospero’s plans for revenge originate in his previous occupation as Duke of Milan. In Act I we are told of how Prospero became neglectful of his duties as a result of his experimentation with magic. This led to his brother Antonio, gradually assuming complete control. Once in power, Antonio conspired with the king of Naples, to have Prospero and his daughter removed
Although the Mariner let go of his hand the wedding guest was unable to move away as he was spell bound by the Mariners ‘glittering eye’ and this suggests that the wedding guests character has drastically changed at this point as at first he was impatient with the Mariner then he started getting angry and later he was spell bound and was all ears as the Mariner unravelled his tale. As the tale continues we can see that after the Mariner Shoots the Albatross he is his own conscience personified and has intense guilt for what he has done. The poem that dips in with both the everyday world and the supernatural portrays this characteristic of the Mariner well as it shows that at the end of the day he was human and he did feel guilty and is able to pass on the important tale. The Character of the wedding guest also serves as proof that the Mariners tale is important and needs to be passed on from the old experienced people to the younger generation. Overall Coleridge showed
The second example, is when a brawl was insitigated by the antagonist Iago. Othello then appears. He saw Cassio as the main attraction of the brawl, went up to him and slapped him because of his actions because Cassio was chosen by Othello to be his Liutientant. Both of these examples showed these tragic heroes their view as men in charge. The next similarity both Oedipus and Othello shared is their passionate love for their family.
King Lear is an authoritarian figure with a very unpredictable mind. We can see this from the first page when Kent and Gloucester discusses which Duke Lear had preferred which shows that people wanted to know what was on Lear’s mind because of his power just like how we like to hear celebrity’s gossip in the 21st century. ‘I thought the King had more affected the Duke of Albany than Cornwell’. We can also see Lear’s superiority throughout the first four pages, his authoritarian position is highlighted by his extravagant entrance. People had to walk behind him, a message was sent to others to notify his arrival ‘The King is coming’ and a cornet was played to accent his importance.
We learn a lot about the Duke and the way his words are told about him and about others gives the reader negative thoughts towards the Duke. As we read on, it seems as if the Duke is unreliable. He has become very bias and subjective. He called a servant an ‘officious fool’ when he was just doing his duty as a servant. His attitude makes the reader start to question himself/herself and, instead of having sympathy for the Duke, the reader is also pulled to a point where you don’t know whether you should believe him.
