Tragedy and epic according to aristotle
This document summarizes Aristotle's definitions of tragedy and epic poetry. According to Aristotle, tragedy is an imitation of an action that is serious, complete, and of a certain magnitude, told through dramatic form using language that arouses pity and fear, accomplishing a catharsis. An epic is a lengthy narrative poem about significant heroic deeds. While both involve plots and unity, Aristotle found tragedy superior to epic in its effects, unity of action, and methods of poetic imitation, with the purpose of giving pleasure.

The story revolves around its two central characters: Othello, a Moorish general in the Venetian army, and his treacherous ensign, Iago.

My last duchess overview
Knowledge Organiser / summary of My Last Duchess by Robert Browning. AQA GCSE English Literature Power and Conflict Anthology
The concept of Ideal hero and Hamartia.
According to Aristotle, the ideal tragic hero is neither perfectly virtuous nor entirely wicked. He is generally a good person of high status who makes an error in judgment or has a character flaw that ultimately leads to his downfall. This downfall causes both pity and fear in the audience. The hero's demise is a result of human frailty rather than deliberate vice. Examples given are Oedipus, whose downfall stems from multiple errors including ignorance, passion, and character defects, and Othello, whose jealousy arises from an avoidable error of judgment. Aristotle argues this type of hero and plot best provokes the intended emotional response from viewers.

Theme of paradise lost
Milton's purpose in Paradise Lost has three parts: 1) to show how disobedience leads to calamity, 2) to assert God's eternal providence, and 3) to justify God's ways to men. For the first point, Milton establishes a hierarchical universe where obedience to superiors is crucial. Adam and Eve's disobedience disrupts this order and brings sin into the world. For the second, God allows free will knowing the fall will occur to demonstrate his love through salvation. And finally, the fall produces the greater good of redemption, showing the justice behind God's actions.
To justify the ways of god to men
This phrase "To Justify the Ways of God to Men" comes from John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost. In the opening lines, Milton says he will "justify the ways of God to men," meaning he will explain God's nature of turning everything from bad to good. For example, God created humans to replace fallen angels and sent Jesus to redeem humanity. The phrase refers to explaining God's providence and justice in allowing evil and hardship. It is most commonly used in literary contexts to describe fate or destiny in relation to God's will.

Through Prometheus' suffering, love and nature are eventually able to overthrow the oppressive rule of Zeus and usher in a new era of liberation for humanity. The poem explores Shelley's views on themes of revolution, oppression, redemption, and the perfectibility of mankind.

It introduces the main characters including Othello, a Moorish general in the Venetian army, his wife Desdemona, and his ensign Iago who plots to destroy Othello. The document also covers themes of jealousy, honor and reputation, and being an outsider. It provides context on Elizabethan theater, military terms used in the play, and Shakespearean tragedy.
Othello by William Shakespeare
The document summarizes William Shakespeare's play Othello. It provides background on Shakespeare, a synopsis of the plot which involves Iago manipulating Othello into believing his wife Desdemona has been unfaithful, and descriptions of the main characters. The climax occurs when Othello vows revenge, believing Desdemona has betrayed him. This leads to tragic consequences as Othello kills Desdemona and then himself when the truth is revealed, while themes of trust, jealousy, and the incompatibility of love and war are explored.
Iago
Iago considers how easy it would be to manipulate Desdemona into subduing Othello in order to win him back. Iago plans to poison Othello's mind against Desdemona by convincing him that she is only helping Cassio due to her lust, and in doing so will undermine her reputation with Othello. Iago's goal is to use Desdemona's own goodness against her to entrap them all in his web.

An inspector calls - character and theme revision
Here is an analysis of two dramatic devices in An Inspector Calls and their intended effects on the audience:
The use of dramatic irony is highly effective when the Inspector reveals that Eva Smith is in fact the same girl each character had encountered. The audience knows from the start that the girl's full name is Eva Smith, but the characters do not. When the Inspector connects each of their stories to the same girl, the other characters and the audience experience a shocking revelation. This builds dramatic tension as the audience waits with dread for each character's secrets to be uncovered.
Priestley also uses interruptions strategically to assert the Inspector's authority and disrupt the characters' sense of control. For example, when Mr. Birling is dismissing the
10 l2 poetry - themes
This document discusses themes of power and conflict that can be used to link 15 poems. It provides examples of subthemes like pride and glory, man vs nature, and inner conflict. For each subtheme, it analyzes several poems, describing the conflict portrayed and how it is shown linguistically. For example, Ozymandias shows the conflict between pride and the ephemeral nature of power through ironic language, and Storm on the Island contrasts man and nature, emphasizing nature's power through harsh imagery.
Exposure wilfred owen
Wilfred Owen was an English poet who served as an officer in the Manchester Regiment during World War I. He suffered shell shock after being caught in explosions that killed fellow officers. Owen was sent to Craiglockhart War Hospital in Edinburgh to recover, where he met fellow poet Siegfried Sassoon, who encouraged Owen to write poetry protesting the war. Though he recovered from his injuries, Owen continued serving until he was killed in action just one week before the end of the war.
Storm on the island
The poem "Storm on the Island" by Seamus Heaney describes a powerful storm hitting a small island community off the coast of Ireland. In the first few lines, the community feels prepared and secure in their sturdy cottages. However, as the storm intensifies, feelings of fear and isolation set in. Nature becomes a violent and destructive force as the trees and sea, normally comforting, now threaten the islanders. By the end, the community feels helpless against the huge and invisible force of the storm. The poem uses imagery and metaphors of war to convey the terror and lack of control experienced during the storm.

IGCSE Biology Chapter 14- Reproduction in Plants.pdf
6 act 2 scene 1 - answers and act 2 scene 3
- 1. Act 2 Scene 1 – The opening scene in Cyprus so far 1. (From Line 61) Pick out any descriptions of Desdemona made by Cassio eg. “The riches of the ship” (83) 2. Cassio kisses Iago’s wife Emilia as a greeting – what do you think Iago’s response to this means? (100-102) 3. Puns are examples of wordplay - words having double meaning –think up any double meanings or associations with “black” and “white” that Iago mentions lots between 125-155 4. What is meant by Cassio’s apology to Desdemona in line 161? 5. Iago notices the attention Cassio plays to Desdemona: In an aside (starting 163) to the audience he sees how his plan is going to work – pick out the line that contains some kind of animal imagery, copy this down and explain what it means. 6. Read Iago’s aside (190-192) – What do you think this musical metaphor is trying to say about what Iago is planning to do?
- 2. Second half of Act 2 Scene 1: Iago and Roderigo 1. Plan into motion: Iago tells Roderigo that Desdemona is in love with Cassio – why do you think he does this? 2. Re-read 248-62: What does Iago want Roderigo to do as part of his plot? 3. Act 2 Scene 1 – Iago’s soliloquy! a) What does Iago again accuse Othello of? (Include quote) b) What does he fear about Cassio in Line 288? c) What do you think is the meaning of the final line of the speech?
- 4. Act 2 Scene 1 • Starter Question: What has happened to the Turkish fleet of ships that were on their way to attack Cyprus? • At the start of Act 2 Scene 1 we find out that the Turkish fleet has been destroyed by a storm. Yay!
- 5. Descriptions of Desdemona made by Cassio eg • From the top of page 23: (lines • “The captain’s captain” • “A maid that paragons description and wild fame” • She “excels the quirks of blazoning pens” • She is “the essential vesture of creation” • “The divine Desdemona” • “The riches of the ship”
- 6. Iago’s aside (bottom of page 26) when he sees Cassio’s “over-friendly” behaviour towards Desdemona • Iago (in an aside) “He takes her by the palm. With as little a web as this will I ensnare a great fly as Cassio.” • An aside is a line spoken that only the audience can hear – like a mini soliloquy (Iago uses these lots to let us in on his scheming!) • Which means? With such flimsy evidence as this, Iago will trap Cassio, accusing him of an affair with Desdemona
- 7. Musical metaphor on page 27 (line 185) –Another Iago aside: (On seeing the joyful reunion of Othello and Desdemona after their voyage to Cyprus) “Oh, you are well tuned now, But I’ll set down the pegs that make this music, as honest as I am” Which means? You may be happy now, but when my plan is put into action your happiness will be ruined – or I am not honest (irony because he’s anything but honest.. Evil laugh may follow here!)
- 8. Iago and Roderigo (page 29) • Iago tells Roderigo that Desdemona is in love with Cassio (shows he is even lying to his “friends”) • This angers Roderigo so he will join in this plot to ruin Cassio • There is going to be a feast to celebrate the Turkish army being wiped out in the storm – on page 29, Iago wants Roderigo to start a fight with Cassio. • He tells Roderigo to “provoke him” so that Cassio is made to look bad! • Iago reminds Roderigo that if Cassio is out of the way, “you have a shorter journey to your desires” – his hopeless dream of being with Desdemona
- 9. Iago’s Act 2 Scene 1 soliloquy (page 29-30) • “That Cassio loves her, I do well believe ‘it” - believes that Cassio is really in love with Desdemona • “I do suspect the lusty Moor has hath leaped into my seat” – think Othello has also slept with his wife Emilia, being paranoid? • “Knavery’s plain face is never seen til used.” – You can never see the end of an evil plan until the moment comes… (Evil laughter optional)
- 10. Today’s reading – starting from page 30, Act 2 Scene 3 • Act 2 Scene 3 – • Othello • Desdemona • Cassio • Iago • Roderigo • Montano
