Q1

What are the parameters of the bet that the Lord makes with Mephistopheles and, then, that Faust makes with the devil? Is the phrase “sells his soul to the Devil” an accurate description of Faust’s narrative? Why or why not?

Shakespeare’s Othello
Themes
Deception/manipulation
Iago is the deceptor. Iago manipulates Othello into believing that Desdemona is unfaithful. He is able to this because of his cleverness and patience. The passion of manipulation in him makes the most orchestrator of this theme. (Smith 14)
Appearance and reality
The appearance of men and women is different in Othello. A man’s appearance is based on military service and public behavior. Their identities are unknown however. For instance, Lago’s real identity as a master of deception is unknown .Desdemona also appears as deceitful and unfaithful though in reality she is blameless (Smith 2014)
Jealous
The book shows the danger of jealousy. Jealous can be caused by circumstances and thus destroy life. Othello is jealous when Lago tells him that he is jealous. Jealous is the reason why Lago hates Desdemona. Jealous takes two forms in the story: sexual and professional (Smith 2014).
Good vs. Evil
Lago actions to manipulate the nature of other characters such Desdemona and Cassio is evil. He never succeeds at the end of the play and punished. Desdemona actions of seeking love and helping her friends is good. She dies out her goodness.

Race causes Othello to be insecure in his marriage and in front of the public. This gives him the determination to be better than others (whites).As a moor, he is subjected to discrimination though he seems to be better than those who judge him. Lago uses this insecurity caused by his race to manipulate him.(Smith 2014)
Women’s’ role in the society
Women role in the society is orchestrated by their sexuality. They act as housewives and are often abused. They are used as sex machines whose role is to satisfy sexual needs of men. For instance, Desdemona is the wife of Othello and she is exposed by Othello as promisqous.(2014)

Love and hate
Othello loved Desdemona and married her. Their relationship turns to hate as a result of Othello manipulation by Lago.It is because of hate ,that lago seeks to manipulate Othello.Othello is the villain of hate as his actions are eventually controlled
