Othello is not hurt because of a failing love, but because of how it makes him look and hurts his pride. This is when things get ugly. Othello puts more trust in Iago than in his own wife. This is due, in part, to Iago's manipulative skills, but mostly to Othello's lack of communication skills, especially with his wife. But Desdemona does not do anything to mediate the situation and lets the condition escalate, and her self-blaming attitude only perpetuates Othello's misgiven notion that she has been falsely accused . After Othello strikes her in front of the whole dinner party, and orders her around like a peasant,

Love throughout history has been considered an enigma with an emphasis on emotions such as compassion and appreciation; nevertheless as with most beneficial substances it is subject to fundamental flaws. Modern society is abundant in gossip, scandal, and misconception, all factors that ruin a legitimate relationship. William Shakespeare’s, Othello is a typical and most perfect tragedy that depicts a prevailing relationship midst blood, violence and revenge. The protagonist, Othello undergoes a transformation from a happy man to a disturbed beast as suspicion of his wife’s faithfulness to lieutenant Cassio intensifies. False rumors intentionally sprouted by good, trusty friend Iago bring about catastrophe as Othello jumps to conclusion and

However strong the emotional attitude of prejudices may be in Othello, Love is the most powerful emotion and ironically the emotion that leads to the most vulnerability. Loves of all kinds are tested in the tragedy and ultimately all fail to rectify the horrible situation. Marital love for Othello and Desdemona serve as both a heaven and a hell on earth. As Othello portrays by saying,

Many crimes of passion are the result of jealousy. “Othello” shows readers how the jealousy of one or two people can result in violent actions and even death. In “Othello,” Roderigo was in love with Desdemona, who was already married to Othello. He teamed up with Iago, who possessed envy because Cassio had been promoted to the position Iago desired. Together, Iago and Roderigo plotted to destroy Cassio’s image and reputation as well as Desdemona’s marriage. As Iago began setting Cassio up, he began to develop feelings of his own for Desdemona. Iago and Roderigo’s actions resulted in numerous deaths throughout the play. First Iago stabs and kills Roderigo. Then, Othello’s jealousy leads him to smother Desdemona because she was “false with Cassio” (Shakespeare 767). After Emilia outed Iago, he pierced her with a knife, killing her. Lastly, Othello knifed himself. All of these deaths occurred because two men were desirous of things other people had. These acts exhibit the abominable effects jealousy can have on people’s

Throughout Othello, the dramatic irony of “Honest” Iago is detrimental. Iago serves as Othello’s main attendant and is expected to get the promotion to lieutenant. Unexpectedly though, Othello gives the promotion of lieutenant to Michael Cassio. In all, this catalyzes Iago’s plot for revenge and destruction that will destroy every

A.C. Bradley describes Othello as "by far the most romantic figure among Shakespeare's heroes"(Shakespearean Tragedy, 1). This is an unusual description of a man who murders his own wife. However, Othello's feelings of hate for Desdemona started as an overwhelming love for her when their relationship began. This transformation from love to hate also inflicted the characters Iago and Roderigo and like Othello their hatred resulted in the murder of innocent people. Roderigo's love for Desdemona was transformed into hate towards any man that he thought was loved by her. Iago's love for his job and his wife, Emilia changed into a destructive hatred of Cassio and Othello. As a result of

Throughout history discrimination has become one controversial topics. People discriminate for many reason such as fear, envy or desire for power. Thus, people can use someone’s innate trait of skin color to express hatred. Othello is a highly respected black military commander in the Venetian army despite his African heritage. However Iago and Brabantio racists insult toward Othello creates him insecure and unacceptable toward himself.

In Othello, Iago is upset because Othello, the military leader of Venice, gave Cassio, an arithmetician who was inexperienced at war, the position of being his lieutenant. Iago began to devise an infallible plan. This plan was to manipulate Othello into thinking Cassio and Desdemona were having an affair so he could denote Cassio and give Iago the position of lieutenant. This plan involves manipulation, lies, and pre-domination. At first, he succeeded, however his lies will catch up with him, revealing his true, schemer way.

So, here Iago has stated that he hates Othello because Othello passed him, over for a preferment, giving one Michael Cassio the job as his military replacement instead. Iago

Iago is a man full selfishness. In the beginning of the novel, he complains to Roderigo that it should have been him being chosen as lieutenant other than Cassio. He goes on by saying how three of Venice’s most important noblemen took their hats off to Othello and asked him humbly to make him his lieutenant. But in the end, Othello refused the man's request and ended up choosing Cassio as the lieutenant. This is when Iago is eager on getting his revenge.

In a close relationship jealousy emerges when one person fears losing the other. In William Shakespeare's Othello the titular character loses his beloved wife due to his suspicion of her betrayal. Othello’s downfall is ultimately caused by his ‘friend’ Iago, but he was highly to blame for his own downfall as he was naive and irrational. The character of Othello contributed in many ways to cause the tragedy and a lot of the conflict could be blamed on himself.

How do relationships in stories compare with relationships in real life? Shakespeare’s Othello is a tragedy believed to have been written in 1603 that follows a Christian Moor by the name of Othello. Othello lives in the town of Venice and is well respected by many (despite his race) as a high-ranking officer in the Venetian military. When Othello marries Desdemona, certain elements of their relationship set them aside from others. Othello and Desdemona have a strange relationship: they married willingly (rather than an arranged marriage, as was common in their time), they have a lack of trust in each other (or, at least, Othello in Desdemona), and they seem to switch between loving and hating each other, never having a certain feeling in

Love can be defined as a feeling of strong or constant affection for a person. In Othello by William Shakespeare, the title character has strong feelings towards Desdemona but does not truly love her. From the start it is merely infatuation he feels. Othello also had a lack of trust towards his wife. In the end, all he feels is a burning hatred for her and is willing to murder her.

Jews are unfortunately the popular group to be picked on. This goes way back in history. The Jews are accused of being the killers of Jesus which I believe is the main reason they are hated to this degree. Many people are probably band wagon haters and only hate Jews for the fact many people hate them. They probably may not even know the reason they are even hated on. They just follow the crowd. Other big influencers could be Adolf Hitler and William Shakespeare. In many of Shakespeare’s acts, the actors displayed much hatred against Jews like in “The Merchant of Venice” play I saw at the Miller Outdoor Stadium. Adolf Hitler’s voice was so persuasive and direct that some of that energy still lingers in some people today and they kill Jews as
