What was lago's reply when Othello demanded proof of his wife's disloyalty?
He responded "How likely is it that I'll be able to show them to you actually in bed together??" As Iago well knew, this would not only be difficult but actually impossible since Desdemona and Cassio were not really having an affair. But as we know from people who believe in conspiracy theories, and Iago knew then, sometimes you can bamboozle people into believing that the fact that something is difficult to prove is in itself proof. Unfortunately it works on Othello.
Why is Othello called a domestic tragedy?
The classification of Shakespeare's plays as "Histories" "Comedies" and "Tragedies" was done by the publishers of the compilation known as The First Folio. In this edition, the full title of the play is "The Tragedy of Othello, The Moor of Venice", and it is classed among the tragedies.Some people will want to discuss whether this play falls within the conventions and definitions of tragedy drawn from Aristotle by later critics. It is important to know that this is a highly artificial and academic definition which Shakespeare himself does not use, and which hinges on whether there is a "tragic hero" as described by Aristotle (Basically, Oedipus in Sophocles' Oedipus Rex).Some will say Othello is not a tragedy. Othello is not a tragic hero, Iago manipulates him. Othello falls for it because essentially he has to, he is an outsider. Also, Iago has about 200 more lines than Othello. If Iago is considered the central character, then he can in no way be considered a tragic hero.Others will say that 'Othello' is a tragedy as he follows the conventions of a 'tragic hero'. A tragic hero is someone who has a flaw, and that flaw leads to his downfall. Othello's flaw is that he is naive and believes "honest Iago" to be exactly that, honest. Becuase of his trusting nature he declines and he ends his life realising he has nothing to live for. Iago does maniplulate Othello. But just because Iago has more control over the characters before the final scene in Act 5, doesn't mean he is the main character.Another point of view is that the definition of 'hero' in literature has changed, and there may be better ways of deciding whether something is a tragedy than seeing how close the main character comes to Oedipus. Keep in mind that Shakespeare was a man who was beyond his time. He wrote in a very modern way. He isn't called the father of literature for no reason. In short, do we not feel like our guts are kicked out when we see this man, torn between his brain and his heart, who destroys the one he loves and who truly loves him only to find out minutes later that it was all a con job? I think so, and if that's not tragedy I don't know what is.To conclude, 'Othello' is in fact, a tragedy. It is known as "Shakespeare's greatest tragedy".
What is an example of foreshadowing in Romeo's soliloquy?
Yes there are many! Othello speech about wooing Desdemona foreshadows his suicide speech. Desdemona's willow song foreshadows her fate. Othello saying "Are we turn'd turks" (or something like that) foreshadows his suicide. There are a lot more just keep on looking through the play and you can find them.

Do you have any proof for UFO's?
The US Government most likely does have the physical proof but are not about to share it with the rest of the world. Over thousands of years people have seen the same things that are still reported today. It's basically the same story that changes very little. That is usually an indication of the truth. We will learn of UFO's only if the government wants us to know about it. Until then humans keep watching the sky with their cameras hoping to catch a glimpse of alien visitors.
Is it possible to build a fire proof building?
No. You can help fire proof a building. But there is always a chance it can catch on fire somehow. Fire sprinklers are only used to keep the fire under control so it doesn't spread...they are not used to put the fire entirely out. Firefighters are for that. Anything that you use to fire proof a building is only used to keep the fire under control until the Firefighters arrive. The closest you can get to a fireproof building is a brick one with a terracotta tile roof.
