Comparative Study of the Characters of Qaido and Iago in Literature

The Shakespeare of the Punjabi language and the Shakespeare of the English language are quite unique in their humanistic approach. They artistically encapsulate their time, which is not frozen but constant, making it possible to say that they are not specific to a particular era; rather, they are universal and belong to all ages. Their characters are not confined to the past; rather, their characters transcend past, present, and future. For instance, Heer and Ranjha are universal characters. These two can be found in every culture in various forms and perspectives. Similarly, Romeo and Juliet are recognizable in all cultures, but the two satanic and evil characters are quite universal: Qaido and Iago.
