Othello - The Ambivalence Of H
... ambivalence of good and evil.
There is no character in all of Shakespeare's plays so full of serpentine power and poison as Iago. He is envious of Michael Cassio and suspects that Othello has wronged his honor; but his malignancy is all out of proportion to even his alleged motives through which he shows his ambivalence of nature.

His false displays begin with him and Roderego informing Brabantio of Desedemona's ...

Animal Farm: Summary
... other animals, they set
themselves up as leaders above the rest of the animals. Another
interesting character of Animal Farm was Old Major, the prize winning,
well-revered boar. Although he died early in the novel, he influenced the
entire story by inspiring this animal revolution by delivering a very
inconciliatory speech. Snowball, one of the avaricious pigs, was a very
acute, persuasive speaker. Napoleon, an eccentric fierce-looking Yorkshire
boar, had a reputation for being taciturn, yet dogmatic. Of all the
animals on the farm, Squealer was the propagandist. He was the one who
revised the history that the ani ...

The Right To Privacy By Robert Bork.
... this ability it would be doubtful if people
today could claim a general right to privacy.
The Griswald case involved a bizarre law that forbade the use of condoms in the
hope that it would prevent adulterous affairs. This deduction is as absurd as
banning all sales of chocolate in order to prevent obesity.
Robert Bork admitted that this law did not make sense, especially in the ability
of government officials to enforce the law. Yet, Bork disagreed with the method
used by Justice Douglas to overturn the conviction of two doctors distributing
information on condoms. Bork felt that Douglas's liberal use of ...
