Explanation:

Parallelism is the correspondence of grammatical and semantic functions in prayers. In addition to improving text comprehension, respecting parallelism makes reading more enjoyable.

In other words, what is called parallelism is a chain of identical syntactic functions or chain of sentences of equal syntactic values. Prayers that present themselves with the same external syntactic structure, by connecting with each other in a process in which it is not allowed to establish greater relevance of one over the other, create a process of liaison by coordination.

answer:   a good wench, give it me.

iago

good girl, give it to me.

emilia

what will you do with ’t, that you have been so earnest

325to have me filch it?

i will in cassio’s lodging lose this napkin

and let him find it. trifles light as air

are to the jealous confirmations strong

as proofs of holy writ. this may do something.

335the moor already changes with my poison.

dangerous conceits are in their natures poisons

which at the first are scarce found to distaste,

but with a little act upon the blood

burn like the mines of sulfur.

i’ll leave this handkerchief at cassio’s house and let him find it.to a jealous man, a meaningless little thing like this looks like absolute proof. this handkerchief may be useful to me. the moor’s mind has already become infected with my poisonous suggestions. ideas can be like poisons. at first they hardly even taste bad, but once they get into your blood they start burning like hot lava.

which thou owedst yesterday.

here he comes. no drugs or sleeping pills will ever give you the restful sleep that you had last night.

othello
