Its power connects to the theme of white imagery “dyed in mummy”(III.iv.73) contrasted with black to depict duality. The ultimate aim of magic, to turn base metal into gold, is accomplished by balancing the elemental polarities. The white handkerchief is a symbol of purity, innocence, faith, chastity, and even proof of virginity (if the strawberries are interpreted as bed sheets dyed with a virgin’s blood). Desdemona takes it as a symbol of Othello’s love, his anima or emotional feminine self under her control, “subdue my father / Entirely to her love”. Othello imbues it as a symbol of Desdemona herself, his female counterpart, where Othello’s racial conflicts and otherness link him to the black polarity.
Othello: A Close Reading This is an analysis of the lines 260-279 of the third scene of the third act of Shakespeare’s Othello. In an attempt to fulfill the incessant need for comfortable dichotomies, societies tend to be divided into two groups: the ‘in-crowd’ and the ‘others’.

Shakespeare’s protagonist, Macbeth, is both very similar and very different from Francis Coppola’s interpretation of Michael Corleone. Both protagonists come to power by killing, they both distance themselves from their wives out, but they deal with their power in different ways. In The Godfather, Coppola uses a combination of zoom, pan and close-up shots with strategic lighting to portray how Michael Corleone comes to the decision to assassinate those who wronged his family. In the scene, the dark lighting, as in most of the family business scenes, shows how serious the conversation is.
One of Shakespeare’s plays, Much Ado About Nothing, has quite a few examples of dramatic irony, and it is used for both comedy and suspense. These are some of the best examples of dramatic irony in the book, and they include the following characters: Beatrice, Benedick, Don Pedro, Leonato, Claudio, Hero, Margaret, Borachio, and Ursula. The first great example is when Don Pedro, Claudio, and Leonato make Benedick think that Beatrice loves him, and elsewhere, Ursula and Hero are tricking Beatrice into thinking that Benedick loves her, and only Beatrice and Benedick believe their deceivers. This is dramatic irony because the deceivers and the audience know that it is a trick.

The following passage is significant to the play ‘Othello’ in retrospect to the plot progression, as it reiterates themes and introduces important facets to the plot development. Through Iago’s cunning manipulation and Shakespeare’s crafting of language, this passage is constructed as a pivotal point of the play, marking the transition of Othello’s personality and revealing his deepest insecurities that eventually lead to his downfall and tragic ending.
