How an Outside Influence Acts as a Powerful Force

Within Othello Iago appears cunning, the confidence he has allows him to act as an outside force manipulating the kind amongst Othello and Desdemona. The interpretations of the outside influence are questionable by dint ofout the three texts. The issue in The enceinte Gatsby of whether Jay Gatsby weakens Daisy and Tom Buchanans marriage because he loves her or whether she is a material desire and whether Jeds kind state or Joes rationality in Enduring get laid is to blame for the corruption between the con fugacious couple, Joe and Clarissa. Iagos ability to observe allows him to gain control of Othello and waitk r regularge.Whether this is for the goodness of his community or due to jealousy is unknown. However, through language, form and structure it is clear that a gradual decay in both love and morals takes place. Iagos performance creates the impression that he is a heartless case as no true friendship, love or morals are shown. I am not what I am, he is a devious onlo oker who aims to destruct happiness, yet the reason for this mud uncertain. Iago can be classified as an outside force due to his dish peerlesssty and cruel intentions, which oftentimes only the audience is aware of due to his mysterious actions. Beware my lord of jealousy it is the green-eyed goliath. The audience is positioned to understand that William Shakespeare is presenting irony as Iago is warning others of jealousy, when perhaps he is tied down by his own. Utilising personification also foreshadows the cruel intention Iago has to damage the contentment in Othellos life. A crafty choice of words allows Iago to deliver the impression that he is a loyal and honest man. Throughout the convey he sets the stage to ensure Othello and Desdemonas relationship becomes corrupt, denying himself of any responsibility.This contrasts to Jed Parry in Enduring Love. Lead by his belief in God, a strong emotional attachment is made with Joe, one which Jed is persistently honest about. Wi th the belief that God has sent me to you Jed ignores Joes resistance and does not seek revenge, rather rejection brings him closer to Joe. This categorises Jed as a contemporary villain, as he goes against traditional values of a villain. Perhaps, due to Iago conforming to the conventional idea of a Shakespearian villain, the reader may classify him as a more effective outside.He places himself outside of situations he observes, manipulates and watches Othello crumble. Whereas Enduring Love presents a contemporary villain who moves beyond traditional expectations of causing unhappiness bitterness is replaced with calm tones, Love has given me new eyes, I see with such clarity, in such detail. Jeds bizarre approach arguably challenges the reader more than Iagos evasive behaviour. Written in 1603, Othello touched upon a major issue in europium of this time period the intermingling of Muslim religion and culture with the West.Ironically, Othello is sent to protect the Venetians fro m the influence of Muslim Turks even though he is the Moor. Iago uses the issue of Othellos race to present him as a misfit wary the snorting citizens with the bell, or else the devil will make a grandsire of you. Shakespeare plays on sixteenth century beliefs through the symbolism of the devil. It was thought that often the devil took the shape and form of a black man. dead words corrupt Othellos reputation of valiant. Othello has determination, loyalty and commitment towards his gentle Desdemona.This causes him to resist 16th century attitudes tawards race. Let him do his spiteI love thee gentle Desdemona. Repelling obstacles is key to achieving an perfect relationship. Jay Gatsby is similar to Othello, not in race, but due to issues of social class. Jay Gatsby represents the new rich from West Egg, he lacks social connections so he flaunts his wealth. This is an issue F. Scott Fitzgerald mocks throughout, as this novel presents a social commentary upon the corrupt state of mat erialism in the 1920s.Fitzgerald uses many references to time throughout the novel. Fitzgerald delivers the message that everything in this lifestyle is temporary emotions, actions, parties, or feelings, because they are all fuelled through material objects. Nick Carraway, the narrator describes Jay Gatsby as, running down give care an over-wound clock. The simile signifies both Gatsbys consuming desire to stop time and his inability to do so. This may be the reason why he is selfish in pursuing Daisy as he has no respect for Tom, who lives in East Egg, a place for the established upper class.
