The Merchant of Venice is a comedy of embarrassment, and Othello is a tragedy of embarrassment. This nomenclature is admittedly anachronistic, because the term "embarrassment" didn't enter the language until the late seventeenth century. To embarrass is to make someone feel awkward or uncomfortable, humiliated or ashamed. Such feelings may respond to specific acts of criticism, blame, or accusation. "To embarrass" is literally to "embar" to put up a barrier or deny access. The bar of embarrassment may be raised by unpleasant experiences. It may also be raised when people are denied access to things, persons, and states of being they desire or to which they feel entitled. The Venetian plays represent embarrassment not merely as a condition but as a weapon and as the wound the weapon inflicts. Characters in The Merchant of Venice and Othello devote their energies to embarrassing one another. But even when the weapon is sheathed, it makes its presence felt, as when Desdemona means to praise Othello and express her love for him: "I saw Othello's visage in his mind" (1.3.253). This suggests, among other things, that she didn't see it in his face."--Publisher's website. 000456625 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000456625 60010 $$aShakespeare, William,$$d1564-1616.$$tMerchant of Venice. 000456625 60010 $$aShakespeare, William,$$d1564-1616.$$tOthello. 000456625 650_0 $$aEmbarrassment in literature. 000456625 650_0 $$aLove in literature. 000456625 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 000456625 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aBerger, Harry.$$tFury in the words.$$b1st ed.$$dNew York : Fordham University Press, 2013$$z9780823241941$$z9780823241958$$w(DLC) 2012029531$$w(OCoLC)760975599 000456625 8520_ $$bacq 000456625 85280 $$bebk$$hEbrary 000456625 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3239767$$zOnline Access 000456625 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:456625$$pGLOBAL_SET 000456625 980__ $$aEBOOK 000456625 980__ $$aBIB 000456625 982__ $$aEbook 000456625 983__ $$aOnline
