Well, you guys here are very intelligent, so I just wanted advice on how my essay can be improved, that's all. It can always be better, right?
okay, there is my essay below
---------Certain characters can have an influence on people. These characters may be from fiction, creative work, or perhaps be a historical figure. One such character is known as Iago; he was the villain of Othello, written by William Shakespeare. Iago was a very intelligent man who had the ability of gaining control of the situation when he wanted to do so.
---------Iago had been a very jealous man, aside from being intelligent. Othello granted Michael Cassio a high position in the Venetian army. This caused Iago to lust for revenge against Othello. He was able to look at specific details about Othello which could assist him, such as the fact that Othello married Desdemona. At this point, his revenge would begin to take place.
---------Iago wasn’t a strong man, or a great fighter. Physically, he was no match for Othello in any battle. However, this would not stop him from attacking; being that Iago was able to use his head. He was able to confront Othello, and many people close to him, engaging in conversations that brought everyone to believe Desdemona was cheating on her husband. Iago put on an act, pretending to be a friend of Othello, but then acting as his enemy, too. Evidently, this made him two-faced, but a great actor as well. Iago’s plan worked so well that, in the end, Othello would end up killing his wife, and Michael Cassio’s reputation was ruined. In conclusion, Iago was very successful, despite the fact that he is limited when it comes down to physical battle, which didn’t stop him. Unfortunately, this intelligence, and such motivation, would have been better used in a righteous path, as opposed to a villainous path chosen by Iago.
--------The character of Iago has influenced me. He showed me that I can achieve anything, regardless of my physical strength, as long as I put my mind to it. I myself am not very powerful in the physical sense; when I am about to enter a fight, all that is possible for me to do is back out of it, since chances are I would be defeated. Iago’s character shows me that none of this is of any significance because I can use my head. In the future, I won’t be able to have a job requiring physical labor or heavy lifting, but knowing that I can get a career working as an engineer, or working with computers, motivates me. If one of my friends is in trouble, or is about to make a bad decision, I could be able to get control of the situation, and convince him/her to do otherwise. Of course, I would never use such intelligence for evil, as Iago did. I’d do my best to help myself and others, and not for any selfish reasons.
---------Characters from novels, historical times, and even non-fiction stories can bring influence to all kinds of people. I was influenced by Iago, a character in Othello. This man wasn’t strong, nor was he a great fighter. His influence derives from how he attacked, and how he used his brain to obtain control of the situation. Iago demonstrates how one’s mind can overpower the body.
