Elizabeth Proctor is recognized in the book as someone who always tells the truth. However, she decides to lie about her husband's affair. The irony lies in the fact that Elizabeth only told the lie in order to protect Proctor, but it is this lie that ends up condemning him. When Elizabeth lies, she is unaware of the fact that Proctor already confessed, and by lying, she is only incriminating the two of them.

How is dishonesty used in the play the othello?
damaskus [11]

The play's villain, Iago, is the epitome of dishonesty and his untruthful nature is contrasted with the innocent Cassio and Desdemona. He uses his skills in deception to lie to almost every other character in the play  in particular Othello, but also to Roderigo and Cassio.

How has the connotative meaning of “swagger” changed across centuries
Blizzard [7]

I don't really know why this would be a question related to school but either way I need to be taking this class.

Nowadays, the word <em>swag </em>is sort of synonymous with the word <em>cool</em>. People didn't really start using it in that way until around 2003, and when it became a definitive Thing in 2010.

Prior to this, however, the word <em>swag</em> was just used as a way to describe how someone walks. No, literally; the earliest recordings of the word came from William Shakespeare in <em>a Midsummer Night's Dream</em>. The official definition around the late sixteenth century was "to strut in a defiant or insolent manner," or sometimes as ways to describe how inept that a person was.

Strangely, its meaning got somehow lost a little while back, with a lot of people wondering where exactly this word came from since, surely, the creator of it wasn't Jay-Z or Will.i.am, right?

Dig more into it if you actually want to know. Simply, it was just how a person presented themselves; not that different to how it's used now.
