Abstract
This paper is a reading of "Othello" that portrays the ways racism is scripted into the play in ways that demonstrate how destructive racism can be. This essay argues that the play itself is not a racist play, but that Shakespeare instead makes use of critical irony with master-slave relations, and with racist beliefs to provide a psychological tragedy. In this way, Othello can be read as a play about the racialised consciousness, and at the same time effect a critique of racism.

Abstract
This paper will compare and contrast Machiavelli's "The Prince" and Shakespeare's "Measure for Measure" in terms of their representation of the law, cruelty and mercy. As will be seen, Machiavelli's diabolical reputation notwithstanding, these works illustrate how both men thought along very similar lines. It will be argued that the point at which these elements - law, cruelty and mercy - converge in both men's works is power. Political power is the overriding theme of "The Prince" and the most prominent subtext of Shakespeare's "problem play". Through a discussion first of "The Prince" and then of "Measure for Measure", it will be shown how law, cruelty and mercy are - through the analogous figures of Duke Cesare Borgia and Duke Vincentio - represented as tools of political power and governance in both men's works.

Abstract
This paper will discuss the similarities of "Romeo and Juliet" by Shakespeare and "The Catcher in the Rye" by J. D. Salinger and connect them into a common theme that they share with each other. By analyzing some of their similarities, we can see how they both carry the notion of teenage tragedy and seek to show the depth of young people within a literary format. By revealing the concepts of universal teenage struggles, these two works of literature are very similar I that they show the hardships of being to young to really have a say I their destinies. The sense of powerlessness over the way they want to live their lives connects them intuitively by their sense of loss within the works.
