The Facade of Gatsby’s Parties The figurative language and syntax on page 41 conveys the fallacy of the people at Gatsby's parties. Page 41 begins to describe one of Gatsby’s parties using many forms of figurative language. People arrive with their “hair shorn in strange new ways, and shawls beyond the dreams of Castile,” decked out in their fancy clothes, desperate to be the center of attention.
In The Tempest, confrontations with knowledge that has been buried deep within leads to renewed perceptions of ourselves and transformed attitudes towards those that have gone against us. Ariel, although under the order of Prospero, acts as a mechanism through which these confrontations occur. The changing tone within Ariel’s monologue, from a tone of vengeance to a tone of reconciliation, “You are three men of sin... incensed the seas and shores, yea. All the creatures, Against your peace...is nothing but your hearts sorrow and a clear life ensuing,” gives insight into Prospero ’s changing mindset and his willingness to forgive his former acquaintances if they are prepared to apologise for their previous wrongdoings.
In William Shakespeare’s “Othello”, Othello is a Venetian General who sails to Cyprus to fight the Turkish fleet. Before Othello goes to Cyprus, he secretly marries Desdemona, a young and beautiful Venetian girl by telling his war stories. Due to fate and Shakespeare’s use of assonance, it results in all the characters traveling to Cyprus. Othello and Desdemona leave Venice with the excitement of being a newlywed couple and plan to have their honeymoon in Cyprus. Othello’s love for Desdemona fails as his hamartia of jealousy and skepticalness causes his trust for Desdemona to break, as she is an inexperienced and young youth.
Alonso the king of Naples, Ferdinand Alonso’s son, Sebastian Alonso’s brother, Antonio, and Gonzalo are in the middle of a storm on the sea. They and their crew think that the ship is sinking and that they will all perish. However, in reality the storm is created by a magician living on an island named Prospero. Prospero explains to Miranda, his daughter, why he is spawning this tempest. He reveals to Miranda that he was previously the Duke of Milan before his brother, Antonio, seized his position from him with the help of the King of Naples.
In Othello, Cassio, Iago, Desdemona, Roderigo, Emilia, and Othello have just arrived in Cyprus, and they find out the Turkish fleet has
The process of discovery is an unavoidable process of revelation that is put into motion with the help of pre-existing values and attitudes. Although the discoveries that emerge from such reflection and re-evaluation they are often confronting, resulting revealing to the individual a greater knowledge of ourselves and the surrounding world. This is evident in William Shakespeare’s final tragedy, ‘The Tempest, as Prospero, the both protagonist, Prospero, and the antagonist, Caliban experiences several challenges in order to recognise their true potential and enhance their understanding of knowledge of their surrounding world, thus unexpected outcomes. Therefore, both Prospero and Caliban emphasises the idea that discoveries that provide an internalisation
Through The Tempest, the author tells the story of Prospero’s revenge on the men who took his dukedom away and left him and his daughter to die. Throughout the book Prospero tortures and manipulates them until he has complete control over them. In Act 5, Prospero’s chooses to forgive them and in the meantime abandons his art which can be a sign of change in character. However, through triumph, not change, the author uses Prospero’s choices to reveal that his desires are for power and superiority.
Othello’s Demise Othello, the lead character in William Shakespeare’s play Othello, is done in by the same character attributes, which propelled him to become a great military leader. He has accomplished great victories in battle to the likes, of no others. He is held in high regard throughout the nations as one of the greatest military leaders and is called upon to fight in the most challenging battles successfully. There is no deterrence, by Othello even though his is not of the same race or from the same country, whom he defends.
The job is complete in terms of getting Cassio relieved, but he continues to strategize. “For whiles this honest fool/ Plies Desdemona to repair his fortune, / And she for him pleads strongly to the Moor, / I’ll pour this pestilence in his ear” (2.3.341-4). Iago has set the trap for Cassio to ask Desdemona to possibly try to change Othello’s mind which will lead to Othello believing that they are having an affair. From this point on, the ultimate plan has begun and the pace speeds up.
Desdemona, daughter to senator Brabantio has spurned the advances of eligible young Venetian men, but is captivated by Othello chiefly because of his harsh experiences. We first come
Iago uses Roderigo to inform Brabantio about the relationship his precious daughter Desdemona has with a moor Othello. Iago’s initial intention is the downfall of Othello and get the position, as a lieutenant, he wants. Throughout the play, Iago continuously manipulates Othello by showing him false proofs and telling him rumors about Desdemona and Cassio. “I know not that, but such a handkerchief - I am sure it was your wife’s -
Othello starts to believe Iago’s lies about his friends and wife, leading Othello to change his behavior towards his closest allies. Iago instigates a fight between Cassio and Montano, and Othello must take charge of his soldiers, he says: Thy honesty and love doth mince this matter, Making it light to Cassio. Cassio, I love thee But never more be officer of mine. (2.3.210-213) Othello makes the decision to fire Cassio, and things get worse when Iago makes his wife, Emilia, steal Desdemona 's handkerchief.
The Tempest can be seen as a play about reconciliation, forgiveness, and mercy. However, while it is clear that the theme of forgiveness is at the heart of the drama, it is unclear to what extent mercy is given. An examination of Caliban and Ariel and their representations of Prospero’s struggle illustrates that there is little, if any, true forgiveness and reconciliation in The Tempest. Prospero’s actions from the beginning of the play seem to contradict his ultimate aim to forgive those of have wronged him. Prospero seizes the opportunity for revenge with the help of his magic and good fortune.
He gets so angry that he smothers Desdemona, he soon realizes that this was a mistake. This is a very weak point for Othello, because he has let the world get between he and his love. He was not strong enough to carry the both of them
