How does Iago cast aside suspicion of his own part in the plot to kill Cassio?

Othello was just out of earshot when Iago talks to Cassio. He has told Othello that he is talking to Cassio about Desdemona but he is really talking about the woman that Cassio is really having an affair with, Bianca. In 'Othello' Iago tricks Othello by planting Desdemona's handkerchief in Cassio's room.


How does Desdemona's handkerchief come into play within that relationship between Emilia and Iago?

Firstly, the fact that Iago has told her to steal it shows he is not afraid of using others to further his plans. Secondly, the fact that he snatches it off her shows that he was using her, and his abruptness of speech contributes to the evidence about his less-than-favourable view of women. Thirdly, the fact that she backs down and leaves when he tells her to shows that he is in the driving seat. Fourthly, the fact she allows him to take it shows she feels more loyalty to him than Desdemona.

What is the effect of Tybalt's rhyme lines?

I'm trying to figure that out too! My shakespeare professor mayberry wrote it on my paper so I have to figure it out by Wednesday at six! haha let's see...usually if I just start saying possibilities I can possibly come up with the correct answer. Perhaps it is because he is speaking of sin."Now by stock and honor of my kin/to strike him dead I hold it not a sin." What does the rhyming do to that statement? It makes it more powerful, that is certain. And more deliberate. Perhaps it emphasizes Tybalt's character that he not only can be incensed to be violent, but also he deliberately plans it. It could have religious purposes, perhaps the rhyming makes it more prophetic, the Capulets are very religious so perhaps Tybalt is emphasizing his hatred toward the montagues by saying that it's okay with the God in his heart to kill Romeo, and the poetry strengthens that conviction. Score! I'm working that into my paper. Hope it helped!! -Baige :)


What masks are used in 'Oedipus Rex'?

One set of identical masks for the chorus and individualized tragic masks for each of the characters are used in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the mask for each member of the chorus of Theban elders is the same since there is only one choral viewpoint. There is a feminine mask for the character of Theban Queen Jocasta. Masks for Creon, King Oedipus, the priest of Zeus and Teiresias the blind prophet are more elaborate to indicate each character's more elevated social status in Thebes. But all of the masks are alike in being molded on a marble or stone cast, being made of such organic materials as linen and wood products and being adorned with animal or human hair.

Well since they don't actually make paper from linen. The term "linen" on a skid of paper refers to either the surface finish or the color, not the content. Most paper made today is buffered with sodium carbonate. About the only stock I can think of that isn't is used as mounting boards for color photographs--the buffers will change the color of the acidic dyes in color photo paper.
