However, Oedipus egotism character concerning autonomy depicts and fulfills his destiny. Oedipus becomes ignorant as Tiresias expresses that Oedipus is the murderer he seeks (10). However, Oedipus calls the blind profit a traitor and mocks the seer by calling him a cripple to his ears and eyes. Oedipus does not believe the prophecy is true as he contradicts what he hears. Tiresias is also equally disrespectful, mocking and provocative as Oedipus.

New York: Routledge, 2005. Print.) Malvolio fulfills the role as the disgraceful, inferior person within Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night”. The characters in ‘Twelfth Night’ despise Malvolio. Upon Malvolio’s entrance in Act II Scene V, Sir Toby states “here’s an overweening rogue!” (Act 2, scene 5, line 27) after plotting with Fabian and Maria to punish Malvolio, referring to him as a “little villain” (Act 2, scene 5, line 12).
Even though he gets “moore moneye than that the person gat in monthes tweye” he still lies about his relics to receive even more money. The lies are so ridiculous that people actually believe him, especially the poor; he says that “For in his male he hadde a pilwe-beer, which that he seyde was Oure Lady veil” and he also “hadde a crois of latoun ful of stons, and in a glas he hadde pigges bones”. His constant lies are insulting towards the reader as they can see he is relying on the poor to buy his stories so that he can earn money. His “bretful of pardoun, comen from Rome al hoot” hints that he could be doing dodgy deals, highlighting his corruption in society. As the Host requests for the Pardoner to tell a story, he replies, saying that “I wol bothe drinke, and eten of a cake.” He wants food before the story.
Betrayal is constantly treated in the novel and in each point at which it stands out, the tone and mood of the story inmediately tends to change. Sadness and the feeling of guilt are highlighted when the plot of “The Kite Runner” goes aroung betrayal. The mood changes from happines to dispair and the atmosphere turns gloomy everytime Amir betrays his friend. Rethoric and existencial questions hunt the protagonist when the feeling of guilt invades him. He wonders why he is so mean with Hassan and although he regrets, he cannot stop being like that, and in some instances he even justifies himself.
He orders Sam to address him as Master Harold and ridicules him on the basis of his skin color. Hally mocks Sam about his “nigger’s arse” and even spits in Sam’s face. This is an extreme blow to Sam, a surrogate father who simply wants the best for Hally. However, Sam continues to try to salvage Hally’s lost soul. He knows that Hally is continuously hurt by his father, an alcoholic and cripple.
Another example of jealousy is at the end of the play where Othello thinks that Desdemona has been unfaithful towards him with Casio. The character Iago is mischievous and evil as he causes jealousy between many of the characters such as Othello and Desdemona. Iago is also jealous. He is jealous of Othello because Othello has a higher status than him, As it was a time where Racism was quite big, Iago could feel that Othello does not feel Othello deserves his status. The racism is shown a lot in the play when Iago refers to Othello as 'the moor' an example of this is in act one scene one line 40.
He was blindsided by someone he trusted the most his friend, and servant Iago. Who is Othello, and why is Iago so hell bent on destroying the General’s marriage and life? What about Iago, what has made him so bitter and angry? Why does Othello believe Iago as he begins to whisper into Othello’s ear that maybe Desdemona is unfaithful to him, rather than listen to Desdemona? Over the years scholars have argued that this play maybe should have been named Iago instead of Othello, but I believe Shakespeare was right in how he named this play.
With all the enraged anger at Gertrude, his mother, marrying the murderer of his father, the murderer of his father, Claudius, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern spying on him, and Ophelia not conversing with him. The characters in the play that betray and inject the angriness in to madness speak the only quotes that show the insanity in Hamlet. All these quotes are false because the impression that Hamlet gives us is just part of the plot that he, successfully but not the way that was planned, carries out for revenge. Critics do not give enough credit to Hamlet for being clever and misleading. Hamlet’s appearance as Gertrude states “mad as the sea and wind” (4.1.2) is just a cover up.
Teiresias was also used to foreshadow what was going to happen to Oedipus, as he said “A blind man, who had his eyes now; a penniless man, who is rich now” (pg 23). In the end, the power of the gods, fate, and oracles was shown through the Oedipus’ misfortunes. Fate began to play its part as soon as King Laïos tried to disprove the oracle that said his son would kill him. Though there were times in the play when Oedipus and Iocaste both did not believe in the oracles, they came true in the
