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.

Rewrite the end of the story from the point of view of<br> one of the children of Río en Medio.
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The new owners of the land where our trees grow seems not to want us around our trees anymore. But we do not cause any trouble and the trees are really ours even though the land now belongs to them.

Maybe, we just have to sell the trees to them as they have requested from the Don. The Don knows better, and he advised we sell it to them as they are good people. We will go back to our lands and leave the trees to them. But we are really going to miss playing and having fun around our trees again. I hope we find another playground soon enough.

Explanation:

Since the children only really played around the trees that we're really theirs, it would be quite confusing to them when the new landowners do not welcome their presence. It would also take sometime for them to finally get over not going to the trees again even after they might have reluctantly sold the trees.
