kick ASS paper on Othello

Check out this piece of poop:

“Who would not make her husband a cuckold to make him a monarch? I should venture purgatory for it.”

What Emilia is basically doing to Desdemona here is tempting fate. Emilia is somewhat infatuated, and at the same time, jealous of Desdemona’s chastity/virginity and wants to strike a nerve with respect to it. This is because Emilia wants to have that cuckhold, but she missed the boat, so she tries to impose her ideas upon the innocent Desdemona. It also speaks to the fact just like in some aspects of society today, a lot of men want their wives to be chaste and pure, and a lot of women, like Desdemona, have set themselves up in a position where they revolve around this concept so much that it becomes manifest destiny. The only problem with what Emilia spoke of, is that because, yes, this is the way that Othello perceived Desdemona to be, when he conveys that Cassio is having an affair with Desdemona, this inherently makes Othello go nuts BECAUSE everything in his life has had structure and discipline, as he IS a seasoned veteran who knew no love.

The one time Othello puts his trust into a tangible variable, being Desdemona’s virtue and faithfulness, he is crushingly “proved” wrong about her behaviour, and even though this may seem like a insignificant issue, it is the sole factor of what contributes to such a dramatic plot shift when Othello decides to go berserk.

What is so upsetting about it, is that we see Iago, the antagonist, warping Othello’s faith and ideas, whereas if he had ignored Iago, and had put his trust within Desdemona, this snowball effect would not have taken place.

If, Othello had followed a choice of life that was more lax, like Emilia had suggested, even the misconstruing of what Othello conveys as Desdemona’s cheating, would not have been a factor in Othello killing everybody.

In my own humble opinion, I believe that the truth lies somewhere in between having an open mind about where faith lies, yet at the same time, never forgetting what it is that one TRULY holds close to their heart.

6 minutes flat. 1 minute of corrections.

Just gotta employ some size 13 font and 2.5 line spacing and I'm good to go. Hell yes. Fireworks.

Unless you're in 8th grade or a really shitty HS, the 13 font/spacing thing isn't going to work, lol.

I'm lucky my professor is in the Eigth grade though.

He gave me two "short-essays" on Othello and Richard. :lol:

[Edaarin]

Man..that thing is like..half a page.

Please spend more than one minute correcting this.

good call

Rephrased... Perhaps the truth lies somewhere in between having an open mind about where faith lies, yet at the same time, never forgetting what it is that one TRULY holds close to their heart.

Never give your opinion in an essay or use "I" or "My" in any of commentary. If we did that in an essay at my school it would have been an automatic D.

Nerd alert!

[Satira]

Don't you have a baseball thread to attend to?

JOCK ALERT

:sigh:

Alright, this is incredibly upsetting, but, if I do get an instant D, Lady Satira, I will still get 4 credits, and since the local community college isn't affiliated with my on-campus school, GPA won't be a factor, only transferring credits. Alas, woe is me.

I am, however, going to mix in your intuitive butchering though. Thanks nerd-babe! :D

>>This is because Emilia wants to have that cuckhold,<<

Since it has been decided to correct this literary wonder, you might also wish to spell cuckold correctly. ;)

If you ever plan on pursuing higher education, they ask for transcripts from all institutions that you have attended.

I'm sure an admissions committe will not look too fondly at an "insta D" from Methlab Community College.

Something tells me that you are not the higher education type though...

For real?

That's cool since I'll be a five year senior (senior project,) And got a 3.25 last time I took, what I thought was only credit transferring work.

Though, I do attend every class, and I never knew that an Master's program would give three shits about my GPA in my summer college.

I won't correct that sentence, but they'll typically look at your letters of recommendation, *entire* transcript, GRE scores, and writing sample.

good thing I'll be finishing this class with an good GPA.

Good eye.

It would probably be better if you didn't use "an" inappropriately so often. :D

Not on purpose the first time.

Deliberate the second :)

[Sean]

So you're saying his use of inappropriate is .. inapprorpriate in number?

My richard III "short-essay" is even more pathetic. Man I'm glad I think that class is over this week.

“I fear, I fear, it will prove a giddy world.”

What citizen #2 is conveying through this statement, is not the giddy we talked about in class as meaning “happy.” The world of Richard III is not happy in any sense. Giddy is completely misused in this analogy, as Richard shall rise and fall, and nowhere within his course of destruction is there anything giddy about this book. If, however, we analyze the citizen’s comment of giddiness as something more of a maniacal, spiraling lunacy, then it most certainly has its implications within the novel.

First and foremost, Richard, as in-tuned as he is with his own emotions, desires, and carefully analyzed plans as methods to achieve his goals, is clinically insane from the second that he decides that by marrying Anne, he will cross the first step into becoming monarch. Right there, is a problem. Richard is cold-blooded, he manipulates Anne into marrying him; he seeks no love, no companionship, nothing. Richard is not a babbling idiot, but he has such deep-rooted giddiness, that is cleverly concealed by what appears to be simple means of achieving things.

When Richard gets Clarence killed, this by far, must be taken as a sign of insanity; he has taken a human life, and crossed into the ultimate realm of “giddiness.” Things continue to get more and more giddy as Hastings is killed and Richard brutally has the sons of the Queen killed.

Right now, Richard is a mass murderer, and an equivocal act carried out in today’s society in the same fashion, would bare nothing less than a label of giddy, not to mention mass murderer, and most notably, completely CRAZY! The egomaniacal bastard might as well kill his wife now, and marry the poor young Elizabeth while he’s at it. Ultimately, since this is Shakespearean times, there is no insanity plea, but nor does Richard end up in an asylum typical of those tickled with giddiness. He is killed, in a very “humane” fashion, by the invading Richmond. An odd spectacle that poses a paradox to the giddiness of the entire play, but nonetheless, there is no way to use Richard’s death as an excuse of any type to dismiss his insanity.

Think I might have to 2.25 this baby, woo.

I seriously hope you don't actually turn in papers with words CAPITALIZED for emphasis.

>>“I fear, I fear, it will prove a giddy world.”

You need to take the paper that follows this to your University's writing center and go over it with one of the English graduate students who are paid money to 1) make your papers look better for free, and 2) give you a better understanding of English syntax for free. You already pay for this service, so why not use it?

I have no friggin idea who the TA is, I don't think there are any for the English department for summer courses, and again, it is not my on-campus college.
