Broken Embraces

Thus presenting the implications of a dramatic change in circumstance for Hero and her family. However the inner conflict between Claudio’s perception of Hero being “most foul, most fair” and the use of the oxymoronic alliteration in “savage sensuality” reveal a divided instinct and the degree to which his a lack of temperance has led him to pursue revenge whilst uncertainty still governs him: O what men dare do! What men may do! What men daily do, not knowing what they do! Although Claudio intends to comment upon Leonato he unintentionally reveals his own shortcoming: that ironically Claudio doesn’t himself know the implications of what he is doing due to him being misinformed or, that in truth, Leonato is in fact innocent.

If a human is desperate, it causes them to have bad judgment, and they act out of their normal ways of behavior. Most of the time, they are put in a case of desperation because of another human. Humans wrong each other a lot, sometimes deliberately. Other times, it is unintentional, but either way, it happens. Anxiety clouds judgment, making people act in ways that are frowned upon in society.

Due to Oedipus’ blindness and ignorance, he is unable to see past the truth. His hamartia was his poor sense of judgement; he tried to go against his own fate by making decisions on his own. He was warned by many around him but did not seem to be more cautious or stop chasing a hurting truth. Oedipus was responsible for his own downfall, his constant persistence of going against wise people’s words and acting on the belief of his own intelligence ultimately led him to a path of destruction. In the end, he went from being known as the noble King of Thebes to a blinded man who has no point of living anymore.

Though he does things to help someone in need, Friar Lawrence is disrespectful, selfish, and violates regulations. Additionally, because of his poor actions, he jeopardizes many conflicts and tribulations in the play. Thus, Friar Lawrence does not deserve to hold the title of a religious authority. A disrespectful priest is like a beauty losing her exquisiteness. They are not worthy of admiration.

This leads to a sense of nonchalance about plagiarizing. Unfortunately, this mentality is growing and plagiarism is becoming a very controversial topic. As Nels Griffin (Write or wrong: Thoughts on plagiarism) stated, there needs to be a distinction between intentional and blatant plagiarism, and accidental or unintentional plagiarism. After all, plagiarism by its own definition is borrowing or stealing other people’s ideas or words and not giving them credit. When you borrow without permission, that is known as stealing, which hurts the person you stole from and your personal integrity.

​Conclusively, it is evident that in this Shakespearean tragedy, Othello’s downfall comes to be due weakness in his character, which comes into existence due to his major character flaws. Through his poor judgement, Othello can not figure out who is trustworthy and who he should find as not being loyal. Furthermore, jealousy overpowers Othello and his mindset, which fills him with thoughts of anger and hate. Likewise, Othello’s insecurity is a major flaw that bewilders him and causes him to be very distraught. Thus, with these points, it is unmistakeable that Othello faces a set of character flaws, that when found alongside each other, are almost impossible to overcome, which in the end lead to the tragic downfall and death of Othello in the end of this play.

When Iago’s values of ambition, cleverness and perceptive thinking turn into vices, not only do they become his own downfall, they also tear apart the lives of those around him. Perhaps at one point in his life, Iago’s values were attached to good intentions, but this is clearly not the case throughout the play. Vices are ingredients in this recipe for disaster and Iago’s values indeed became his destiny. When his values went wrong, so did he and Iago became inevitably destined for ruin.

Friar Lawrence is most responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet through his reasoning to be political, dishonest, and irresponsible. He uses Romeo and Juliet to attempt bringing the families together, goes against his own beliefs, misleads Juliet, her family, and Romeo, and does not communicate effectively. This proves that even though one may have good intentions, one will be judged only on their actions. In this case, Friar Lawrence’s acts of sinful lying and single-minded determination to unite the families would not be tolerated, as people would never see the good intentions behind them. As stated by 20th century writer Aldous Huxley, “Hell isn’t merely paved with good intentions; it’s walled and roofed with them.

The Lead characters in plays are often thrown into conflict while pursuing that which they desire. A common way of setting up a character’s conflict is to make their unorthodox desires the focus of the narrative. In both Edward II and ‘Tis Pity She’s a Whore we come into contact with characters whose desires end up their downfall, whose downfalls are invariably caused by their own desires coming into conflict. While these desires are generally considered taboo in their narratives, there are various reactions concerning the controversial subjects brought up in these plays. The characters all meet tragic ends; however, both plays demonstrate that there is more focus on the regulation of their desire by the authorities, rather than the prosecution of the taboo they committed.
