Othello Character’s MBTI (Project 2)

For my second project, I wanted to do something other than a traditional essay. One of the questions I had after finishing Othello, was that I still felt like I didn’t fully understand why Iago had such a hatred for Othello. There were several reasons listed like Othello giving Cassio the job Iago wanted. IagoContinue reading “Othello Character’s MBTI (Project 2)”

Iago, not just a Parrot

My project: I chose the drama masks to represent Iago’s two-faced nature. The black and white were chosen because of the racial bias Iago shows in regards to Othello. The text is green because jealousy is often associated with green. Since the dawn of humanity, there has been a never-ending search for a reason forContinue reading “Iago, not just a Parrot”

Unessay 2: Fruit Gathering LV

I decided to create a comic/manga panel representing the poem Fruit Gathering LV. It was an interesting read although I became more interested in how it would look rather than the story itself, given that I read it as a bit religious and I’m atheist/agnostic. The woman found a reason to live on after herContinue reading “Unessay 2: Fruit Gathering LV”

Samantha Parker EN 3515 Second Project 11/05/21 To be masculine is to have the attributes and characteristics that make up a “man.” However, everyone defines masculinity in their own way.

The stereotypical view on men is that they are the “bread-makers,” or theContinue reading “Representation of Masculinity Through Imagery in Sultana’s Dream and Shakuntala”
