This is an essay about the character, Charley Le Grant.


Charley Le Grant is an ambitious and cunning deputy, who one day, decides to earn a bit of extra money by performing a task that would as well satisfy his thirst for adventure. He discusses the idea of collecting and selling oysters on the narrator after taking a glance of a boat full of them running ashore. He later witnessed the discussion between a constable and a pirate crew, arguing over the possession of the oyster trove. Charley learns of the constable, Mr. Taft's plight and notifies the narrator, "I'm going to interview him about that reward".  He volunteers himself and his crew on the quest of retrieving the oysters from the pirates.

Having successfully made a deal, Charley and the narrator use their wits on a plan's design to execute their task. They hire a third member, Nicholas, who aids them in providing knowledge of the pirate island. Having designed the plan, Charley drops his two companions on the island, promising to return later to extract them along with the goods.

After a while, Charley returns to the island and picks up his companions along with a couple of sacks full of oysters. They rowed back home, nimbly dodging gunshots, but manage to fulfill their task triumphantly.

What does Iago think is the<br> way leadership positions are<br> traditionally determined?
a_sh-v [17]

Iago thinks that a person must have experiences in wars and battles with an additional experience in general knowledge as he himself got into the position on this basis while Cassio is simply a tactician and a scholar. Iago uses his leadership position to begin a raging campaign against Othello and Cassio.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Iago is a character developed by Shakespeare in the play "Othello". He is defined as a manipulative man who develops strategies and plans to destroy the lives of those who wronged him.
  • The rage starts when Iago becomes upset about not being promoted and seeks revenge on Othello (his head lieutenant) and Cassio the person who took his position.
  • Othello is defined as a confident leader in the play and a person who is very much needed by the government.
  • Iago feels that he is more qualified than Cassio for the position and that he was betrayed by Othello.
  • Iago was the third-ranking officer under Othello.
