Irony In Othello
.... because Iago said he wanted it. Iago then placed the
handkerchief in Cassio's room to make him look guilty. Also, throughout
the play, it seemed that Othello was the only one who didn't know the truth.
Shakespeare uses situational irony well to make the story more
interesting.
The verbal irony in this novel can sometimes be humorous because
of how ironic it is.
Othello often said things that were actually the opposite of Iago:

hands under a sink, or a birds eye view of a gun fight. These are ways of
manipulating the camera to make the viewer feel how th .....

actually calculate the numerical dimensions of the chapel in the background.
The span of the painted vault is seven feet, and the depth is nine feet.

Hamlet: Chivalry
.... contradiction though is that the English
etymology of the word knight is trusted servant. This comes form the
Anglo-Saxon word "cnyht" (De La Bere 35). The idea of a knight being a
servant does not fit most people's ideas of knighthood or chivalry, but in

The duality of these roles is what makes chivalry unique. (Barber 9).
So where did chivalry get its start? Many believe it started with
the barbaric Huns or the Roman .....

perfect scene for the baneful murders.
Another disturbance in nature comes from Macbeth's mouth, "Now o'er
the one half-world / Nature seems dead" (Lines 49 - 50). This statement
might mean th .....

Nielson ratings are god, there is no longer a place for journalistic
integrity in a profit based field. It is up to the journalist to determine
whether or not they are comfortable with what they are doing and how they
do it.
Yet the question still remains, was everything that Barbara Walters
did ethical. No. There were times in my mind .....
