    Between Romeo and Juliet in the story Romeo & Juliet, Romeo is more compulsive than Juliet. For starters, Romeo falls in love way too easily. He says to his cousin Benvolio, “Out of favor, where I am in love” (1.1.178). This quote illustrates his compulsive feelings of ‘love’ for a girl who has no interest in him whatsoever. Following his rejection of Rosaline, Romeo is extremely quick to act on his emotions. Montague, Romeo’s father, states that Romeo “Shuts up his windows, locks fair daylight out, And makes himself an artificial night” (1.1. 146-7). This passage shows you how quickly he changed after getting rejected once and how it didn’t go unnoticed by the people around him. Finally, Romeo falls in love with eyes and character…

    “What had he done to make him fly the land?" [repeats, louder with cracked voice] “What had he done to make him fly the land?" (page no.) And what did I do to make him flee this land? [shaking head, is emotional] Fearful of Scotland’s happening and future. Oh, Scotland. Your monarchy so heinous, so damned, so feared that your men are fleeting images of the past. Gone with the wind that was a torrent of darkness among the blustery trees. Gone without a thought of kinship; to family nor duty. I should have known a man so full of human nature would chase the scorpions of suspicion in his mind that sting him to the point of no return. It can’t be. Macduff, this noble passion/ Child of integrity, hath from my soul. (Page 76, 114-115) [Shaking head]…

    • 3 Pages

    Lady Macbeth is married to Macbeth the main character in this play, making her one of the key characters in this play. Lady Macbeth is a woman who lusts for power, authority and control through her husband. She persuades Macbeth into killing Duncan so that he can become king after the incident. She characterizes one of the ongoing thematic elements of guilt throughout the play and this finally leads to her death in the end. The quote "a little water clears us of this deed" is a simple statement made by Lady Macbeth which becomes ironic as the play progresses because the metaphorical "clear water" of truth which she speaks of is never used by either her or Macbeth.…

    In Act IV, scene III of Shakespeare’s Othello, Emilia explains reasons for unfaithfulness. Emilia conveys her ideology about infidelity to Desdemona, a character that has not yet been exposed to the idea, through the use of rhetorical strategies such as appeals, imagery and diction to further reinforce her point that infidelity is caused by the husband. There is a plethora of appeals in Emilia’s monologue, many of which involve Emilia’s personal encounters with the idea of unfaithfulness. In Act VI, scene III, Emilia states, “Yes, a dozen, and as many to th' vantage as would store the world they played for. But I do think it is their husbands' faults if wives do fall.”.…

    Iago’s use of reverse psychology to manipulate others. On the surface, he appears to be a loyal and worthy friend, but his wording and tone always imply the opposite of what he says. When Othello asks whether it was Cassio that was talking with his wife, Iago responds, “Cassio, my lord? No, sure, I cannot think it That he would steal away so guilty like, Seeing your coming” (III.iii.41-43). Superficially, he says that Cassio is honest and good while actually insinuating that he is acting guiltily. He seems to be thinking that cassio is honest, but in reality the remark is intended to instill doubt in Othello, which he succeeds in doing.…

    Iago uses Rodrigo as a tool to carry out his revengeful plan, he tells him to pursued Cassio into a fight so everyone can see how unstable and how big of a drunk Cassio is. Rodrigo, being so in love with Desdemona, does all this just for another shot with her. In my opinion, Rodrigo is just blinded by love and absolutely foolish because he doesn’t comprehend that Iago is just using him. (II, i)…
