What is your opinion of the idea that it is sometimes necessary to consider the role of
?appearance versus reality
Often we are faced with the challenge of considering appearance versus reality
whether it is in reality itself, a novel, or film, etc. We often have to judge between
good and bad, beautiful and ugly, intelligent and unintelligent based on appearance
over reality. However our judgments based on appearance are often overcome by
.reality
Appearance versus reality is often tested in films such as Batman, Superman, and
Spiderman. In each of these films we are made to believe that the main characters are
average individuals with everyday jobs, and normal lives. However when reality
overcomes the appearance of these individuals they are actually revealed to be super
heroes in disguise. Not just any individual would be able to reveal the true identity of
.the main characters because appearance often hides the reality of truth
Appearance versus reality is thoroughly tested throughout lots of William
Shakespeare's writing especially in Othello. The main Character Othello is a very
honest, loyal, and proud individual. Othello is in love with one of the other characters
Desdemona; however Desdemona's father Brabantio accuses Othello of being a
knave, and a thief due to his color. Othello describes his loyalty and honesty to
:Brabantio on Act 1, Scene 3, and Pg.45 by talking about his past
From year to year, the battles, sieges, fortunes"
.That I have pass'd

I ran it through, even from my boyish days
.To the very moment that he bade me tell it
,Wherein I spake of most disastrous chances
,Of moving accidents by flood and field
,Of hair breadth scapes I' the imminent deadly breach
Of being taken by insolent foe
And sold to slavery, of my redemption thence
";And my portance in my travel's history
Othello described to Brabantio that whether he is black or not he is full pride, and he
.is a man of honor
It is very important to consider the role of appearance versus reality because not
everything is what it appears to be. I myself have being to trusting based on the
appearance of some individuals, and it has cost me pain and grief. So I believe that
reality is a major factor when facing appearance versus reality because appearances
.can be deceiving
