The two characters Iago and Desdemona.

Kate Salmon The critics have many views on the two characters Iago and Desdemona. These two characters are very complex and have a hidden depth to them. Each critic has a strong personal view on the characters and explores deeply into what motivates them and have they go about things. The Critics are able to state their point of view clearly giving relevant quotes from the text, but there are some things that I do agree on to some extent but then there are things that I don't agree on. I would like to challenge the critic's view when forming my own oppinon of the character Iago and Desdemona. The character of Iago is very complex and I feel is hard to understand. There are many views to why he is this clever, ambition, manipulative villain. A.C Bradley puts up two arguments, which he thinks, are wrong interpretations to why Iago is driven to destroy Othello. He states that Iago could be a jealous man whose main ambition is to destroy successful lives; Or Iago simply hates anything good because it is good, and loves evil purely for itself. I don't think that these are wrong interpretations of Iago as I think he is from a society who is embittered by social class. I feel that that Iago is frustrated because he is considered as a lower class to the likes of Othello and therefore he is ambitious to prove himself and not to be looked down on. I also agree with the second view

Travel options to Paris and Manhattan

-1- Elliott Pateman A03 In this task I will analyse the choice of methods to travel to around two destinations. The destinations I have chosen are Disneyland Paris and Manhattan, New York. To do this I will have to carry out both primary and secondary research. Primary research involves getting original data directly about the product and market. Primary research data is data that did not exist before. It is designed to answer specific questions of interest to the customer - for example: What do customers think of an alternative to a popular travel route? To collect primary data I must carry out field research. The main methods of field research are: Face-to-face interviews - interviewers ask people on the street or on their doorstep a series of questions. Telephone interviews - similar questions to face-to-face interviews, although often shorter. Online surveys - using email or the Internet. This is an increasingly popular way of obtaining primary data and much less costly than face-to-face or telephone interviews. Questionnaires - sent in the post (for example a customer feedback form sent to people who have recently bought a product or service). Focus groups and consumer panels - a small group of people meet together with a "facilitator" who asks the panel to examine a product and then asked in -2- depth questions. This method is often used when a business

The Quick and the Dead review

Wild West is back with the sensational thrashes and browbeats!!! Be quick or be dead! That is what Sam Raimi is trying to verbalize through his 1995 western express 'The Quick and the Dead'. The film is just like an old comic book, which came back to life! Raimi had always expressed style of his own through breath taking horror films such as 'The Evil Dead', 'Darkman' and more recently 'Spiderman'. He has used his quick-draw adventure with all the twisty camera tricks in this spaghetti western film. Every minutes and seconds of this 1hour 45 minutes, are not going to be a waste of time. Simon Moore's story came to life through the production of Joshua Donen, Patrick Markey and Allen Shapiro. The film is distributed by Columbia Tri-Star. Extremely intense, straightforward and contentious, Golden Globe-winning actress Sharon Stone, escaping from her usual glamorous roles, had a great welcome from the western world as the fans rushed in to the theatres as the movie get released. The three times Oscar nominee Russell Crowe along with Golden Globe winning Leonardo Dicaprio and two time Academy Award winner Gene Hackman and a huge list of other actors as well.......... Yee haw... Let the revenge fantasies of deadly tournament begin! The plot of this movie is conceived brilliantly and the dialogue is surprisingly up to standard. We could take a terrific fun of each scene!

The Costs and Benefits of Urbanisation

Urbanization is defined as the population’s increasing in urban areas (Learn on the Internet, 2008, P8). As a reflection of population’s migration from rural areas to urban areas, urbanization usually appears when a country is still developing. The majority of urbanization occurred in developed countries prior to 1950, but the most rapid growth in urbanization has occurred in developing countries since 1950 (Learn on the Internet, 2008, P8). Nearly one third of the world’s population lived in urban areas as recently as 1975, but the proportion will rise to almost two thirds by 2025 (World Resources Institute, 1997, P19). Urbanization has caused a range of problems in recent years and numerous governments want to slow down urban growth in order to minimize social upheaval. Notwithstanding the costs, urbanization also has many benefits. This essay will enumerate some of the benefits and the costs of urbanization. In the first place, it will enumerate and weigh up the economic benefits and the costs. In the second place, it will discuss the environmental benefits and costs. Finally, a conclusion about urbanization will be given. To begin with, two important benefits of urbanization are economic growth and higher standards of living. Urbanization is linked tightly to economic growth and it is an important part of the process that countries progress from agricultural to

The difference between kinship and stratification.

Kinship is social relationships that are prototypically derived from the universal human experiences of mating, birth, and nurturance. Mating refers to marriage and birth refers decent, but nurturance can be seen as closely related to mating and birth. In the U.S. it is called adoption, but each society has its own definition. Kinship is also a social organization, in which each society decides how it will be organized, what aspects of the 'human experiences' will be emphasized and which will not. Because each society uses different terms to refer to people they recognize as kin, anthropologists have found six major patterns of kinship terminology. These six patterns are based on how people refer to their cousins. These criteria include generation, sex, affinity, collaterality, bifurcation, relative age, and sex of linking relative. Generation refers to the kin terms that distinguish relatives according to the generation to which the relatives belong. Sex is used to differentiate kin such as in Spanish, primo refers to a male cousin and prima is a female cousin. Affinity is the distinction mad on the basis of connection through marriage. Collaterality is the distinction made between kin who are believed to be in a direct line and those who are 'off to one side,' linked to the Ego through a lineal relative (mother and aunt or father and uncle). Bifurcation is a distinction

Linguistic Analysis of Dahl and Blyton

Linguistic Analysis of Dahl and Blyton Literary Review When looking at the critical and theoretical work that has been written on the subject of children's literature, one finds that there is a surprising dearth in the amount of material written on the importance of linguistics. The challenge was not to select which linguistic theory would best apply, but rather to find any theory that would have significance to the interpretation of children's literature. In order to complete this analysis, therefore, I found it most constructive to work with two texts. The first, Generative Grammars and the Concept of Literary Style by Richard Ohmann, is a text which gives a comprehensive overview of the ways in which linguistics can be used to determine the way style is constructed in a literary text. The second, The Reader in the Book by Aidan Chambers, is a text on literary criticism in children's literature which discusses the importance of style in the critique of a piece of children's literature. It is by examining the arguments of the latter that one is able to effectively apply the theories of the former in order to analyse the linguistic differences between the two children's texts, and determine the implications of such differences. Before selecting the Ohmann text, I looked at another linguistic approach to style, Nominal and Verbal Style by Rulon Wells. This piece discussed

The Nazi and The German Economy.

28.1.03 History coursework The Nazi and The German Economy, Assignment Two: Objectives 2 and 3. . In 1934 unemployment stood at around 2.5 million. The Nazis dealt with unemployment, as shown in source B, by building Autobahns. Hitler used propaganda to encourage employment by posing for photographs like source B, which is a primary source. Men who had lost their jobs however skilled were given a job making motorways. We know this from the photograph because Hitler is digging and he has no skills building motorways. We also know from source B that Jews were not counted because the workers digging are all wearing swastikas on their arms. By Jews not being allowed to work or being counted as unemployed brought the figures down. There are also a lot of uniformed men in the photograph because they are in the army and were not counted as unemployed. Hitler dealt with unemployment in another way by bringing back conscription so unemployed men were put in the army and counted as employed. There are also no women in the picture because Hitler encouraged them to stay at home and educated young girls to do the same. By doing this Hitler was not only dealing with unemployment but also preparing for war. 2. German re-armament helped to solve the country's unemployment problem. Firstly by the building of weapons, Hitler built weapons and roads not only to employ men but also

Ned Kelly and the Jerilderie Letter

History 150: Colonial Australia Student: Christie Blake Student Number: 220027199 Coordinator: David Roberts Title: The Jerilderie Letter (Assignment 2) Word Count: 2131 words Pages: 7 Christie Blake Page 1 The Jerilderie Letter written by Ned Kelly, as a source illuminates many issues that were relevant in Kelly's time. However, with all sources there are challenges that the historians who are interpreting them face when trying to illuminate the circumstances surrounding them. The Jerilderie Letter is a primary source, a letter dictated to Joe Byrne by the famous outlaw Ned Kelly in 1879. It was the second letter from the Kelly Gang, its predecessor the Cameron Letter being written in 1878.1 The letter is named after the town of Jerilderie in New South Wales, where the Kelly Gang was, at the time of the letter's writing, in the middle of a hold-up of the town. The author Edward 'Ned' Kelly, was born in 1855 to Ellen and John Kelly, both being from poor Irish backgrounds and having arrived in Australia in 1842.2 Ned's upbringing was on of hardship, his father dying in 1866 after years of struggling to eke an existence as a farmer and rural labourer, his widowed mother then moving the family to Greta in north-eastern Victoria.3 It was these experiences that coloured Kelly's life

Hydrochloric acid and sodium Thiosulphate Investigation

Hydrochloric acid and sodium Thiosulphate Investigation Introduction: for this experiment/investigation I want to find out how long it takes for two different solutions to react togeather, these are; Hydrochloric acid and sodium Thiosulphate. I will change the concentration of the sodium thiosulphate to see whether this affects the rate of the reaction. Other things that may affect the rate of a reaction are temperature, catalysts, size of bits and surface area, but were just testing the concentration area. A reaction goes quicker if the temperature rises. This is because of the increase in kinetic energy, which enables the particles to collide more quickly. A powdered substance reacts more quickly than one with larger bits. This is because the powder has much bigger surface area, so more reacting particles come into contact. Concentration is the number of particles there are in a given volume; this is measured in Molarity. I will use 0.15 M of sodium thiosulphate. For these two chemicals to react (sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid) they will need to create Ions, and these need to collide so the more there are the more chance of them colliding and the quicker the reaction will be. If there's an increase in concentration there will be and increase in Ions and this increases the chance of a successful collision. COLLISON THEORY: (picture on separate sheets)
