MANIPULATION
Manipulation is the worst and best weapon of your enemy or one who wants
to displease you. Most of the victims of manipulation never leave the manipulators
but can they avoid it. Some people may say you can not escape from manipulation
but in this reading you will see or acknowledge that you can escape it.
There are a lot of ways someone may try to manipulate others. For example;
they can lie, change personality, play off emotions and etc. The right evidence for
the examples takes place in the movie O, when Hugo speaks to Roger saying, I
will get you Desi. By meaning that Hugo is lying to Roger to manipulate him later
against Michael and Odin. The second supporting evidence is when Iago says in
the play/story of Othello, Even now, now, very now, an old black ram is tupping
your white ewe. Arise, arise;Awake the snorting citizens with the bell, or else the
devil will make a grandsire of you: Arise, I say. This evidence shows that Iago
was good to Othello before but is changing personality and talking about Othello in
a bad manner by discriminating him. At the end of the day, Iago/Hugo were smart
and they used the methods of changing personality, also lying to manipulate other
people for their own benefit or goal.

Manipulation creates conflict by attacking the victims with internal and

external conflict. An example is seen in Shakespeares Othello when Iago says, O,
beware, my lord, of jealousy. It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock. The
meat it feeds on; (3.3.15). This demonstrates the way that Iago confuses Othello
using manipulation and takes over half of his mind because Othello is trapped in
internal conflict. The next evidence which shows the external conflict is when
Hugo shows to Odin that Michael hates him.
It can be very hard to avoid manipulation because it can come surprisingly.
Therefore, we have a lot of ways to avoid it, for example; we have to gather
evidences for the claim, and do not try trust everybody. If you trust everyone, the
outcome will be very bad because everyone can lie to you and trick you. Of course,
we have to gather evidences, if we wont find evidences and just make up the
conclusion then it will be too late. In the book of Shakespeare Othello Emilia at
lasts tells the evidences or what really happened, when she says, O thou dull
Moor! That handkerchief thou speakst of I found by fortune and did give my
husband. For often, with a solemn earnestness. More than indeed belonged to such
a trifle. He begged of me to steal it. By meaning Emilia found the handkerchief by
an accident and gave it to her husband who is Iago because he begged for it.
Another evidence can be found in the article of Domestic Violence, when it says,

There are a lot of ways someone can avoid manipulation. I am convinced

that all the manipulators use the methods such as lie, play off emotions, change
personality and etc. In order to avoid manipulations we have to gather evidences
for the claims, and ask everybody else around them to find the real evidences
because you cant believe only one person.
