    Othello: Cassio's Relationships

    Cassio's relationships present him primarily as a dual-sided, complex character, which indirectly aids Iago's plan. With Desdemona, Cassio is very polite and respectful, even referring to her as "divine" (2.1.73). Iago uses Cassio's good nature against him to muddle Othello's perception of him by offering a probable explanation of his close relationship with Desdemona. Contrastingly, with Bianca, Cassio is dismissive and curt. In the private scene between the two characters, the audience is shown a darker side of Cassio, decreasing the audience's sympathy for him a victim of Iago. His relationship with Bianca reflects Iago's plea that he is not truly a "villian" (2.3.303). Shakespeare effectively utilizes Cassio's relationships to shape the…

    Deirdre Spelling Analysis

    She decided to drop her work and join her dad on the couch to watch it together. It was a tradition of them to watch the news every Wednesday night together and discuss it afterward. Her mind wandered when the journalist started talking about some kind of celebrity, her best friend Nick Fletcher called her yesterday to remind her that his band was still performing tomorrow night and he had tried to persuade her into tagging along with him and his bandmates. It’s like his goal of the year is to force her into the normal high school life. She did not want that for herself, she was perfectly fine with staying and writing conspiracy theories. It was kind of a peculiar hobby of her that not many coevals of her enjoyed. Certainly not in this town, where everyone seemed to enjoy living their life in ignorance, not knowing the truths that were uncovered in the bedchamber of the fourteen-year-old girl. When she heard the word excavation she got pulled back to reality and re-focused herself on the television. It was an item about an excavation in Macedonia, Greece. She listened to the reporter talking about the possibility that the tomb of Alexander the Great and his family was found. She listened intensely, hoping to hear something interesting and to get some inspiration for her conspiracy blog. One of the reporters started talking: “Possible family tomb of Alexander the Great found. The archaeologists are saying that it is an option that one of the found bodies is the real corpse of Alexander the Great. This would incline that the corpse that we all call Alexander the Great would be fake.” While listening to the voice of the reporter, she got a rush of inspiration. Her dad saw her face brighten and asked if she wanted to start writing and searching right now. He knew her so well. She could not do anything except writing when…

    How does Ishiguro present revelation within this extract and throughout the novel?

    Appearing in all areas of this novel, it is evident Ishiguro provides the reader with hidden meanings and symbolism through various writing techniques, which in complete, piece together overwhelming and enthralling revelations. His style of writing can also foreshadow these pinnacle events before they occur, which can be seen in this extract repeatedly by his simple use of pathetic fallacy; ‘…surprised to see there was still daylight left’, even though – in previous content of this chapter – the mystery of ‘Hailsham’, the ‘gallery’ and ‘deferrals’ had been unearthed, Ishiguru’s choice in description hints towards there still being possibilities left for these ‘special students’. And by using the adjective ‘surprised’, this indicates how Kathy initially feels disheartened by the unveiled truth, but is then taken aback by the light found in their current surroundings. Regularly in this extract, we picture vivid imagery like this, such as the ‘lamps…all the way down the long street’ which signifies their ‘long’ path – perhaps just seen as a case of waiting, by knowledge in knowing their own future – of their ironically short, but not quite ‘complete’, lives.…
