The
paper compares the two primary characters whose
delusions provide the basis for the drama within each literary piece. The paper
explains that in "Othello", Iago brings about the tragic events in the play, while in "The Turn of the Screw", the delusions of the governess provides the suspense. The paper describes how these distorted views of reality within each character exert their influence through their acceptance by central characters within the story as well as by the authors of such delusions. In conclusion, the
writer posits that the illusions in both these stories creates a heightened
effect within each story. The writer explains that this effect draws the readers in so that they feel compelled to seek the truth of the story.
