In the opening scene of Othello, two secret acts had been performed.

1. Iago, an officer of low ranks in the Venetian army, and Roderigo, madly in love with Desdemona, are conversing about both their hatred towards Othello. Iago, because of how Othello promoted Cassio to become a lieutenant instead of giving him the position, and Roderigo because of Othello's marriage to Desdemona and how they eloped.

2. Othello and Desdemona have eloped, leaving Brabantio clueless at first and outraged when he found out.

The theme of deception had clearly been brought up, with these two secret acts, and a few other underlying factors to be considered, including:

1. Roderigo feeling deceived by Iago. The former had asked the latter to put him in good favor with Desdemona, in order for her to love him, but clearly this did not take place.

2. Brabantio feeling deceived by his daughter for running away with Othello, and not asking for his permission regarding the matter.

3. Iago confessing that he merely pretended to adore Othello when in fact, he didn't.

These deceptions supercharged the tone of deceit, jealousy, etc. in the play, leaving the reader or the audience cynical and suspicious about everything. This builds up the gravity of the situation the characters are undergoing.

Answer:

Explanation:

i had the same assignment

I miss Roman

My parents constantly try to explain to me how ill  he is. That I am lucky for having a brain where all the chemicals flow properly to their destinations like rivers. When I complain about how bored I am without a little brother to play with, they try to make me feel bad by pointing out that his boredom likely far surpasses mine, considering his confine to a dark room in an institution.

I always beg for them to give him one last chance. Of course, they did at first. Roman has been back home several times, each shorter in duration than the last. Every time without fail, it all starts again. The neighborhood cats with gouged out eyes showing up in his toy chest, my dad's razors found dropped on the baby slide in the park across the street, mom's vitamins replaced by bits of dishwasher tablets. My parents are hesitant now, using "last chances" sparingly. They say his disorder makes him charming, makes it easy for him to fake normalcy, and to trick the doctors who care for him into thinking he is ready for rehabilitation. That I will just have to put up with my boredom if it means staying safe from him.

I hate it when Roman has to go away. It makes me have to pretend to be good until he is back
