    Mauryan/Gupta India (320 BCE - 550 CE) and The Roman Empire (31 BCE - 476 CE) had very distinct methods of political control based on everything from geographic limitations and cultural reasons. Many factors were present affecting differences and similarities between the two. For starters, unity was difficult in india because of its geography that created sort of a seperation. however, the geography made it more open to outer influences like the Aryans. rome was more or less unified geographically, as it had many rolling hills instead of mountain ranges in parts of india. The speration in india resulted in many things like languages, no continous bureaucracy, and no sense of political service. whereas the roman empire, though divided into many city states, there was the common language of latin, and the well organized government that had a good political system, but it still lacked unity. so both empires had limitations in the sense of unification but rome was better for organizing systems geographically.…

    Jealousy, once consumed, will take over the mind and body, and not only hurt the people around that individual, but destroy that individual. In Othello, we see the protagonist fall guilty to jealousy, even though he has said that he doesn’t let his feelings get the better of him. Roderigo, because of love, gets jealous and ends up losing all his money. Iago, the villain in this play, falls prey to jealousy because of his pettiness from not getting a promotion and having certain suspicions that may or may not be true. In William Shakespeare’s “Othello”, Iago states, “Oh, beware, my lord, of jealousy! It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on”(3.3.170-172). This quote talks about how Othello doesn’t want to know any rumors that Iago has, but this teases Othello. Othello claims it will not bother him, so Iago tells him and Othello becomes upset. The jealousy…
