My thesis. i will be explaining my thesis through my own opinion, Literary criticism and article pieces, piece by piece until you guys fully know what I mean, I will be starting with my literary criticism by reading a line from Othello’s Act 3 scene. “Look at your wife, observe her well with Cassio” In this scene, Iago places the idea of Desdemona being unfaithful, and this right here is the catalyst to their relationship which is now unstable, painful. Iago, I can be calling the king deception, without the use of his deceiving the play would not have turned into that direction. The Critic Francesco Aristide Ancona states that, Although Iago aptly demonstrates that iago is evil through his manipulation of others, he is not the only practitioner of the play. Othello himself can also be regraded as the study in deception, for Othello engages in self-deception - less obvious, but eventually just as destructive. Shakespeare was indeed productive, as he adds another main character, the sweet Desdemona. An example may be “O, she deceives me Past thought!” Desdemona had reasons for deceiving her father. She’s rather protect him, she knew that her father would eventually find out the truth, but she felt that by hiding her relationship with Othello she would be delaying the inevitable pain that her father was going to feel.

However, as the President of United States, he was in much power and to show the public his disability was a sign of weakness and vulnerability, traits that are not given to such a noble position; Hence why he made his "splendid deception". FDR was a strong willed man that was a leader and a role model to many. His successful deception had not only saved his reputation, but enhanced it. The fact that this man was bound to die, yet still had the strength and the will to look after the country was a prime example of a leader. He set the illusion of a healthy man that seemed to be acceptable to the public. If people had known that he was ill or suffering from disabilities, they would spend time sympathizing for him or worst would have had him impeached as he would not be fit for the responsibility to lead the country. FDR foreseen this and clearly did not want to be looked upon as fragile and weak. Now,
