s really conceited.” Imagine that “conceited” was replaced with “confident.” How would the meaning of the excerpt change? Why?

The reader's impression of Malik would change from weak to strong. “Conceited” implies that Malik is unaware of his strengths. “Confident” shows just how much Malik believes in himself and his abilities.


B.
The reader’s impression of Malik would change from strong to weak. “Conceited” implies that Malik is strongly aware of his assets. “Confident” has a weaker connotation. It portrays Malik as being only somewhat sure that he will succeed.


C.
The reader’s impression of Malik would change from positive to negative. “Conceited” has a positive connotation. Using it to describe Malik makes him look good. “Confident” has a negative connotation. It makes Malik seem egotistical and full of himself.


D.
The reader's impression of Malik would change from negative to positive. “Conceited” has a negative connotation. Using it to describe Malik makes him look bad. “Confident” has a positive connotation. It makes Malik seem strong and independent.

In the book Othello by Shakespeare - Act 1 scene 1 - Why do Iago and Roderigo go to wake up Brabantio, and how would you describ
White raven [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

They wake up Brabantio because his daughter, Desdemona, has left the safe confines of her bed and gone off to be with Othello. Only part of that is true. She's not wanton. She's a virtuous woman. She wants to be with Othello.

The thing you must understand about this play is that Iago is a very nasty piece of work. He is totally aware of who he is and revenge is not mischief with him and it's not done lightly. He tells you exactly how he feels about his position, about military life, and most of all about Othello. He is absolutely merciless about what he intends to do, and the two faced hypocrite that he intends to play.

The news of her leaving is very blunt without any care for what Brabantio might feel about Desdemona leaving. He doesn't care about how he might feel at all. Iago only cares to make Othello very uncomfortable and if he is imprisoned that is real gravy on the meat.
