The themes are timeless and resonate the views in a modern society despite being written in disparate contexts, these values concern the core of human nature. This can be shown and evidenced through Shakespeares Othello and the similar views in Clint Eastwoods Unforgiven. Both texts echo the same views and themes through timeless society, these being Gender, and Honour. In â€Å"Othello† there are many negative views on the treatment of women and equality which are shared with â€Å"Unforgiven† though at a much more violent level and both exerting male dominance. Iago see’s all women the same, addressing his statement with the use of caesura, ‘devils being offended†¦, and housewives in your beds’ from Act 2 scene 1. He lists these abusing†¦show more content†¦Little Bill’s comment during the interrogation of those guilty of the abuse towards Delilah is ironic, ‘well I aint gonna hurt no woman’ as though he doesn’t harm the women, he has still hurt them as the offenders were not punished justly for their crime, which is insulting towards the women. The Kid comes to Munny for help and labels the women with animal imagery here ‘even cut her teats’ the incident was over exaggerated, though the animal imagery reveals that another man in the country uses a downgrading term, thus offending the females. Overall the males views in both ‘Othello’ and â€Å"unforgiven† remain pertinent despite the gap in their time, which only shows that the theme is timeless and the fight for equality is not over. Othello is known as an honorable man in the play as he is in charge but that begins to fade, and Desdemona still chooses to honor her husband. The ironic comment from Desdemona in Act 4 Scene 2 ‘To whom my lord, With whom? How am I false?’ this is ironic as everyone but her knows that she is accused of adultery , and her use of repeated question marks shows her distress to be right in the eyes of her husband, to honor him with respect. Iago is one who also holds a honorable position, though it is deceiving. His high regard can be noted through the use of epithets ‘Honest Iago’. These epithets are ironic as he is not ‘honorable’, andShow MoreRelatedAnalysis of Shirley Jacksons The Lottery Essays4601 Words   |  19 Pagesparticipating in a social event together on a special day, the shocking twist at the work’s end—with the death of the lottery’s â€Å"winner† by public stoning—has led to its widespread popula rity, public outcry and discussion, and continued examination in modern times (Jackson).
