Othello: Iago's Large Appetite For Revenge
Words: 620 - Pages: 3.... these monologues,
he makes his intentions perfectly clear. He implies that Othello has had an
affair with his wife by stating "I hate the moor, And it is thought abroad that
'twixt my sheets He's done my office". The irony of this statement is that in
the next line he says that he does not know it for a fact, but because he

Oedipus The King
Words: 942 - Pages: 4.... to end, but out of compassion for his suffering people, he had Creon go to Delphi.

King Lear: Searching For Vision
Words: 1667 - Pages: 7.... daughter Cordelia and this is
the thing that breaks Lear and leads to his death.
In the beginning, King Lear shows his need for praise is how he chooses
to divide his kingdom among his daughters. The one who praises him with the most
"gusto" shall receive the largest area of land. This is even more evident when
you consider that he already has divided up the kingdom before the praising even
begins. As evident as he gives each daughter her land before hearing the next
daughter's praise. Thus the who thing is just a show and an ego boost to himself.
