Othello
i look down towards his feet; but that's a fable.
if that thou be'st a devil, i cannot kill thee.
wounds iago
iago
i bleed, sir; but not kill'd.

what is implied by iago not dying in this scene?

a. iago is supernaturally evil.
b. iago is supernaturally good.
c. othello is a poor swordsman.
d. othello is weakened by sadness.

D. Othello is weakened by sadness.

Explanation:

This is the right answer as Othello states, "If that thou be'st a devil, I cannot kill thee," which enables the peruser to deduce that regardless of whether he/she/they are the evilest being on all of Earth, Othello won't most likely murder them because of her trouble.

Subsequently, this selection communicates her actual shortcoming that is sadness.

hi there

the contrast between a clear and understood meaning is that the clear meaning of a poem is that the detail is exactly defined. nothing is left to (understanding/ explanation). an understood meaning is a suggested meaning. kabir's poetry is both clear and understood in that it can be understood/explained on different levels. the clear meaning leaves nothing to (understanding/ explanation) while the understood meaning leaves lots open to (understanding/ explanation). an example of this is found in the poem "rumi and the (related to religion or the soul) lover".

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
