He becomes vindictive and rewards his master’s, Prospero, efforts with curses. His developed consciousness leads him into deeper enslavement, inducing him to overeach his limits by attempting to murder his lord. Earlier, he became rebellious and attempted to "violate" his master’s daughter, the innocent, pure Miranda. He later, after getting drunk, turns on Prospero and professes his loyalty to Stephano.

Othello
Number of words: 798 | Number of pages: 3.... Roderigo for his money as well as helping his evil plans,
“ Roderigo: I am changed: I’ll go sell all my land. Exit.
Iago: Thus do I ever make my fool my purse; For I mine own gain’d knowledge should profane,
If I would time expend with such a snipe, But for my sport and profit. “ (Pg. 665)
Simply put Iago explains that if it wasn’t for his plans and his desire for money he would have nothing to do with a fool like Roderigo.
Iago’s motives when it comes to Desdemona are quite the same. He uses the young girl as the object of Cassio’s desire to upset Othello. Iago also professes his .....

A Visit To A Small Planet
Number of words: 372 | Number of pages: 2.... everything that they give him. Instead of showing thanks to the Speldings, Kreton does the opposite and tries to start a war.
I believe that kreton's care of only negative traits was both useful and destructive. Without even knowing, Kreton indirectly showed the characters of the play that they overused violence. At the same time of showing something useful to the characters, Kreton insulted the characters about being primitive and uncivilized.
I think the playwright of this play had many themes he wanted to show his audience. I think the first thing the playwright was trying to show was the over use of violence in the world .....

All My Sons, Larrys Importance
Number of words: 454 | Number of pages: 2.... he therefore belongs in jail. When Joe hears Larry's suicide letter, he reacts by saying: "Sure, he was my son. But I think to him they were all my sons. And I guess they were" (pg. 79). This shows us that it was Larry's letter that caused Joe's suicide, and lead to Chris' certainty that Joe was guilty.
Finally, Larry does affect Kate's character. Kate is obsessed with her unfounded belief that Larry is alive. She is the only character in the book that believes this and therefore goes to many extremes such as getting Larry's horoscopes and keeping his room exactly the way he left it with his clothes hung up and shoes shone, .....

This is why he ends up tearing the confessions. If it were seen by anyone in the community John Proctor's reputation would be tarnished to the point where he could no longer show his face in Salem. He therefore chooses death over humiliation. A parallelism of this can be seen in the era of McCarthyism. If one was accused by Senator Joseph McCarthy of being a communist their lives were ruined. This process became known as blacklisting. President Truman once said "Character assa .....

Ethan Frome
Number of words: 790 | Number of pages: 3.... some Pisceans retreat into their own dreams and fantasies, and Pisceans can be delicate and vulnerable, especially when under emotional stress. Ethan most definitely falls under these categories. Ethan is emotionally weak, in that he allows Zeena to control him. Ethan was described, in the beginning of the book, as looking far older than he was in actuality. His work and torment made his physical appearance to match his inner suffering. Winter is typically seen as cold, dark, and lonely. These are reflective feelings succumbing Ethan.
Love mostly suites those who remain oblivious to the harsh reality of our duty .....
