Emilia Essays

The Reggio Emilia Theory and Philosophy is an approach to early childhood education based on the belief that children are capable and competent, and that they are naturally driven to explore, create and learn. It was developed in the 1940s in the town of Reggio Emilia, Italy, and is based on the educational principles of the Italian educator and philosopher Loris Malaguzzi. Reggio Emilia's philosophy of education is based on the idea that children learn best in a stimulating and supportive environment

think of children ages four to six starting in a school and learning new engaging things. The Reggio Emilia philosophy is a path to teaching, learning, and an advocacy for children (Harth). The Reggio Emilia approach was founded by the visionary teacher and humanitarian, Loris Malaguzzi; the approach she founded refers to the philosophy of early childhood education that originated in Reggio Emilia, Italy (NAEYC). “This unique approach to education begins with a particular and strong image of children

The Reggio Emilia approach is currently used to support arts and literacies in an early childhood setting. It is an experimental and motivating approach which sees children as potential, resourceful and capable (Arthur, Beecher, et al., 2008). Arthur, Beecher, et al., (2208) described that in this approach children, as social beings, construct their own learning controlled by their interests. Since relationship is one of its main aspects, therefore it is established between educators, children and

declares, “Sir, would she give you so much of her lips as of her tongue she oft bestows on me, you would have enough”(Shakespeare 1026). Iago is suggesting his wife is annoying and communicates too much. Desdemona, who is a respectable woman, defends Emilia by saying she is a gentle and a good woman. Iago says woman portray themselves to be something they are not in front of men. He thinks women act unflawed to the community and do not take their housework seriously and implies women are promiscuous

This also demonstrated the different levels of self control and intellect between Emilia and Othello. Although Emilia was not left without emotions upon hearing the accusations, she did not let her emotions overwhelm her in any measurable way. Emilia recognized that men are threatened by strong females, she theorized that this is the reason men target weak females: “is’t frailty that thus errs”(IV.3.95). Desdemona

betrayal acts as impetus for the play, ultimately leading to the downfall of Othello and everyone he holds dearest to him. Though there are many characters in the play, it is only necessary to hone in on five: Othello, Iago, Desdemona, Cassio, and Emilia. As mentioned before, Othello is the black army general, and he starts off the play being the undisputable protagonist.

frequently, the play is focused on Iago trying to plot his plan as the play goes on, his intentions are to get revenge on Othello for one not promoting him to lieutenant and believing that Othello slept with his wife Emilia. For that Iago manipulates Othello 's wife Desdemona, Roderigo, Emilia and Cassio. Iago commits the greater wrong, for being manipulative, deceivious, and betraying. Iago and Othello are both main characters who have their way of making trouble, some would say Othello commits more wrong

As the play begins Othello is looking for a new Lieutenant. Iago has always been dependable to Othello, but he ends up overpassing the position to Cassio, who doesn 't know anything about war duties. Although Iago wants to exterminate Othello over of his jealousy of his popularity, he also wants to sabotage him because of the promotion that he thinks was mistaken, he uses Desdemona as a sin. Indeed Iago is going to destroy Othello because of the promotion that was misconstrued. Iago has always been

Matthys Uys 24962376 ENGE311: Assignment 8 (Improved version) 23 May 2016 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Power of Language Devices in “Othello” Through using powerful words in “Othello”, the human behaviour of the characters is either positively or negatively influenced. In the following essay “the power of words” in “Othello” will be discussed. Firstly, an introduction paragraph will be given about

The Evil Within Iago Ancient Greek playwright, Sophocles expresses, “The soul that has conceived one wickedness can nurse no good thereafter.” The term “evil” is interpreted in various aspects however; Iago clearly allows malice to take full control and eliminates any possibility of integrity. The concept of immoral conduct is explained by Steve Taylor, a PhD and author of Psychology Today, as, “‘Evil’ people are those who are unable to empathize with others.” Therefore, Iago embodies the attributes

it is characters. Othello, the main character in the play, is the leader of the Venetian army in the middle of a battle with the Ottoman Turks. He is married to Desdemona, who has gone against her father to be with Othello. Iago, who is married to Emilia, wants the lieutenancy in the army, but instead falls short to Cassio. Roderigo is a Venetian nobleman in the army. These characters work to remind the reader that obsessive emotions often lead to negative consequences. Cruelty in Othello is expressed

Desdemona, Counterpoint of Mankind’s Corruption Themes of deception and slander characterize Shakespeare's unique tragedy, Othello the Moor of Venice. Shakespeare seems to be highlighting all that is wrong with the world via Iago, a paranoid and miserably jealous character determined to pull everyone down to his gloomy state. Another character, Roderigo pathetically seeks Desdemona’s love despite her marriage while Othello unreasonably remains suspicious of his wife’s fawning fidelity. Yet, the alluring

Emilia hears Desdemona’s voice, and attempts to come to her aid but the door is locked. After Othello finishes smothering Desdemona, he opens the door to the bed chambers to allow Emilia in. He confesses to killing Desdemona because she was cheating on him with Cassio; Emilia asks who could of possibly told him that lie. Othello tells her that her husband has told him of the affair. Emilia seems confused and baffled and begins repeating “My husband”

Iago's amorality can be seen throughout the play and is demonstrated by his actions against not only Othello, but Desmona and Emilia. Iago is able to manipulate the other characters of the play because he is a villain who doesn't understand the morals of society. Othello and all of the immoral acts that it contains are the direct result of Iago's hatred for Othello, Emilia and women yet alone the insecurities that Iago has about his own achievements.

This is why Marxist criticism is the criticism that best describes Iago, he is the true definition of a Marxist character. He likes that sense of power that he has over her and their marriage. Iago doesn’t care about the relationship that he and Emilia have but he cares about what come with the thought of marriage. Typically in a marriage the man is who pays the bills, runs the household, and makes the wife stay home. Iago wanted to feel like a better man in life, he wanted to have a good reputation

William Shakespeare’s “Othello” was a great example to showcase sacrifices made by characters to accomplish revenge or obtain power. Shakespeare told the story of Othello, a tragic hero, who was manipulated by Iago, which motivated him to kill his own wife. From this story, Shakespeare’s main goal was to portray characters making sacrifices for their ambitions. From this play, Shakespeare puts forth the idea of sacrifice through pointing out the importance of reputation and how sacrifices must be

without feeling any remorse for the misery he had caused and the people he was responsible for killing. Although his reasons were wrong, Iago had enough to rationalize what he did. Some of the reasons he used to fuel his hate was his suspicions about Emilia and Othello having an affair, Othello’s promotion of Cassio instead of Iago even after all Iago’s loyalty, and a possible desire for Desdemona who fit the description of a perfect wife. I have concluded that the main reason behind Iago’s hateful actions

Now seeing it in Cassio’s hands makes him believe that Desdemona has an affair with Cassio and gave it to him as a gift. But what really happened was Emilia found the handkerchief after Desdemona had dropped it and gave it to her husband Iago to return to Othello. But Iago had something else in mind which was plant it in Cassio’s room. That's when Iago quietly asks Cassio about the real affair between

Iago’s jealously is what caused the whole tragedy in Othello. Iago suspected of Othello to have slept with his wife. Iago had sexual jealousy which cause him to suspect Othello to be one who had intercourse with Emilia. In “Jealousy” David Suchet, the actor who played Iago in Royal Shakespeare Company, suggest that “Iago’s hidden motivation to do evil originates from his envious reactions to other principal figures in the play.” As Othello promotes Cassio over him

pestilence into [Othello’s] ear: / That [Desdemona] repeals him for her body’s lust” exclaims Iago diabolically (2.3.265-6). He knows that a corruption of this pure and honorable relationship will ruin Othello, just as Othello’s supposed affair with Emilia affects Iago. As Eastman states, “Iago, we might say, is able to find his way to Othello's heart by looking within his own” (Eastman). Accessing knowledge of his own humanity, Iago assumes Othello’s negative reaction to his gossip. Later on, Othello
