He'd been chosen when the Venetians had gone to fight the Turkish fleet; and because of his reputation, it hadn't been hard for most to accept the relationship between him and Desdemona. But As Iago ... the suspicions of an influenced Othello. To note Iago's quick wit upon manipulating conversation with both Othello and Cassio to give certain expressions hold was amazing. He had plans for every action that he'd taken and Desdemona, kind and lovely as she was, seemed only to be another pawn in his sick and heartless game. Honesty is the best policy for some. It seemed this way for almost ...

Hamlet, who has set about to feign mental illness, is ...
