How does juror number eight in the Twelve Angry Men dispove the old man's testimony?
Juror #8 (Henry Fonda) dispels the old man's testimony by posing a question to fellow jurors:
"How could the old man in the apartment downstairs distinctly hear the threat and the body hit the floor a second later, while the woman across the street was viewing the killing through the last two cars, when an El train was making a deafening noise as it passed?"
Juror #9 (Joseph Sweeney) answers with an opinion:
"Maybe...The seam of his jacket was split under the shoulder...to come to court like that...He was a very old man in a torn jacket and he walked very slowly to the stand. He was dragging his left leg and trying to hide it because he was ashamed. I think I know this man better than anyone here. This is a quiet, frightened, insignificant old man who has been nothing all his life - who has never had recognition - or his name in the newspapers. Nobody knows him. Nobody quotes him. Nobody seeks his advice after seventy-five years. Gentlemen, that's a very sad thing to be nothing. A man like this needs to be quoted, to be listened to, to be quoted just once - very important to him...He wouldn't really lie. But perhaps he made himself believe that he heard those words and recognized the boy's face."
Where are Casca and Cassius going as Act 1 ends?

Is brabantio's warning to Othello an accurate or inaccurate prophecy?
When Brabantio warns the Moor, "Look to her, Moor, if thou hast eyes to see; / She has deceived her father, and may thee" it is merely foreshadowing at this point and nothing more. Certainly, she had betrayed her father, but she has shown she is very loyal in the process also. Brabantio knows nothing of Iago's machinations and he even thought that it was spells and witchcraft that had stolen his daughter. Desdemona telling Brabantio that it was her choice probably just made him very furious. It cannot be argued that it was accurate or inaccurate-Brabantio was merely lashing out to assuage his anger.

What is the five act structure of a play?
A Shakespearean play has five acts, as did most of the plays written in his time. The division into acts was needed so that there would be opportunities to change the candles when the play was performed indoors; when the play was performed outdoors there were no intermissions. The crisis or turning point of Shakespeare's plays often comes in Act III, especially in Act III Scene 1. So the first two acts give the setup, the crisis comes in Act III and it works its way to the conclusion at the end of Act V. But this is not always the case. For example, in A Midsummer Night's Dream, the conclusion is at the end of Act IV and Act V is by way of an epilogue.
