In Taming of a shrew what is a pendant?
A pendant is a necklace. However, the word "pendant" does not appear in the play; the word you are looking for is "pedant", a scholar (hence our word pedantic). This particular scholar has come from Mantua and is planning to continue his journey to Rome and eventually to Tripoli. He is fooled into thinking that he has to conceal his nationality because Mantuans are no longer welcome in Padua, and therefore he has to impersonate Lucentio's father Vincentio.

What were sets and costumes like in Shakespeare's plays?
There were no sets. The stage was the set for all scenes, indoor and out. Sometimes a piece of furniture was brought onto the stage, but the wall never changed (there was only one wall on the stage--the back wall).
Costumes consisted of the kind of thing contemporary people wore. Costumes for royalty and nobility consisted of cast-offs from the company's noble patron. Because clothes were a clear indicator of class, the company kept clothing which would suggest all classes of people. Occasionally there might be a nod to a costume that was not contemporary. A drawing of a performance of a Shakespeare play (the Peacham drawing, the only such drawing we have), suggests that the actors in a play set in ancient Rome might wear a sash to suggest ancient Romanness. Or not, as the case may be.
Why is Brabantios suit against Othello balked?
Brabantio did not want Othello for a son-in-law. Despite his appearance of being nice to Othello, Brabantio is a racist man. He accused Othello of "witchcraft" and stealing his daughter because he cannot understand why Desdemona could possibly love a black man.
Furthermore, at the beginning of the play, he tells Roderigo to go away because "My daughter is not for thee". However, when he learns that Desdemona had indeed eloped, he wishes that it was Roderigo who had married Desdemona instead.

Circumstances set for Othello by Iago combine to defeat Othello?
Iago sets out to trap Othello by several means. He persuades Desdemona to plead for Cassio and persuades Othello that Desdemona pleading for Cassio proves she is in love with him. He steals the handkerchief, persuades Othello that she has given it away to Cassio, then gives it to Cassio himself. He gets lucky as Cassio gives it to Bianca and she returns it in Othello's sight. He talks to Cassio about Bianca, telling Othello who can see (but not hear) that he is talking about Desdemona. All of this circumstantial evidence bolsters the outright lies that Iago tells about Cassio admitting to having an affair with Desdemona.

Is the musical Rent inappropriate?
Sort of, it depends on what age you mean. I'll just give a brief summary so you can know. Rent is about some people in the late 1990's. Their names are Mark, Rodger, Mimi, Benny, Angel, Collins, Maureen, and Joanne. Out of that group of eight friends, four have AIDS. One uses drugs. One used to use drugs. Four are gay/lesbian. One is a cross dresser. The final things are Mimi is a dancer at a strip club, and in one scene, she is at her job, and in a small shirt/sports bra and shiny tight pants and one of the songs has some sexual references.
my opinion on Cassius is that he is still a good person but he killed julias ceasar for no good reason well actually because he was beinf rude to him and Cassius was jealus of him also because of bitterness towards Cassius.
