her courtship with mitch could have resolved her illusions vs reality she would be able to fulfil her desires but then undermine that by stating that this would ultimately fail because mitch can't save her

I think it depends for Othello for what point I'd go for, I always look at the whole social order thing and how Elizabetheans saw the world under this specific order (god - angel - kings - nobles/soldiers - people - animals) and the whole reasoning makes you human thing, and maybe reference to machiavelli when talking about Iago
For streetcar I literally sing this context piece every essay I do, the whole Blanche growing up in the south being taught to be a southern belle

was just about to ask this! i do lear :smile:

i'm hoping for either speech & silence or justice. my teacher thinks character q's are unlikely but if anything they might be on edgar or the fool. hate this play lol

omg i really hope justice comes up too!! what were you thinking of talking about? I was thinking about how there's no justice, I mean come on both the good characters and bad characters die like what were u on Shakespeare, and also the divine, poetic and social justice :smile:
