Literary Er Othello By William Shakespeare

Othello has been described as one of William Shakespeare’s most popular plays because the play focuses on its themes of good and evil, military, politics, love and marriage, religion, racial prejudice, gender conflict, and sexuality; but the controversy and debate surrounding Othello is “Why is Othello a qualification for a tragedy?”

To start, both Desdemona and Emilia are the wives of men of activity. Their spouses are in the Venetian military and standard men as well as men who hold positions and quality. Desdemona is the wife of Othello who is a General in the armed force with men under his charge. Emilia 's spouse is Iago who is the extremely old of Othello. Next, the two women demonstrate a level of not knowing anything about the plots in play around them. Unknowingly both Desdemona and Emilia play directly into Iago 's expert arrangement of pulverization. Desdemona and Emilia are likewise faithful wives who need to satisfy their spouses. Othello accepts that Desdemona is improperly sexual and ; along these lines Desdemona needs to quiet down his stresses concerning her faithfulness by cooling him, thusly satisfying him. Desdemona guarantees:

Othello married Desdemona out of his love for her, but eventually kills her because he no longer believes that she is loyal, while Emilia, Desdemona’s attendant and Iago’s wife, tries to convince him otherwise and calls Iago a betrayer.

Othello by William Shakespeare tells the tragedy of Othello the Moor of Venetia and how one of his most loyal subordinates Iago betrays him, by making Othello believe that his wife Desdemona was being unfaithful with Othello’s Lieutenant Casino. Iago’s deception not only causes Othello to distrust his wife Desdemona, but it ultimately leads to the deaths of most characters in the play including Othello, and Desdemona. The Fourth act Second scene is mainly about Desdemona and Emilia talking about unfaithful women and if either one of them had being unfaithful to their husband. This dialogue between Desdemona and Emilia is important because the audience can connect to early events in the play and to a small degree the audience can make connections to Iago’s plan for Othello and what can be the future of Othello and Desdemona.

Throughout the tragedy of Othello Shakespeare does an impressive job of quickly introducing and manipulating his main characters. His talents are no less when it comes to the creation and development of Emilia. Though it appears that Emilia is both a loyal and obedient wife, her actions speak much louder than her words. When Emilia betrays the sisterhood within the play of Othello much is revealed to the reader regarding her character. Through close reading and interpretation the reader may come to the realization that Emilia possessed a dangerously low self-esteem, never honestly loved someone wholeheartedly, and ultimately, acted out of jealousy of Desdemona.

Iago has been frequently judged as an evil villain for the meticulous acts he makes after Othello betrays him. Though he was never a murderous villain until his downfall he is unfairly viewed as the antagonist in the play. Since the commencement Iago was an honest military man who never wronged anybody up until they wronged him. He was stripped of a military promotion he had been looking forward to accepting by Othello the general and not only this he was also informed that Othello might have been having relations with his wife Emilia. Iago felt betrayed due to the fact that the person elected (Cassio) did not even have battlefield experience of any sort compared to Iago and used the fact of Othello and Emilia being together as a further reason to propel himself to take action. He knew this decision had to have some sort of favoritism encouragement by taking into account that Othello’s wife Desdemona is dear friends with Cassio. Iago was not going to be an onlooker in this demeaning situation so he rightfully took action by ingeniously and harmlessly instigating critical emotional situations in the lives of his trusting targets leading to their own heedless demises. I dispute that Iago should not be viewed as malevolent as the play depicts because when critically analyzing the tragedy it is evident that he was just an honest Christian man rebelling to seek justice for his betrayal from

Keep in mind that Othello is not adapted to this type of life, he has always had his military background. The cast of Othello then travels to Cyprus in a boat. Iago notices that Cassio is a "ladies man" and kisses Desdemona's hand. Iago, being the villain he is, immediately thinks on how he is going to use that against him. Once at Cyprus, Cassio gets drunk and gets in a provocative argument with Roderigo. Othello intervenes and fires Cassio.

William Shakespeare This play differs from other Shakespeare tragedies because it is about relationship and not the political overtones that usually accompany his work. There is no comic relief and the plot is simplistic. It alludes to a bit of racism, but focuses rather on relationship. Birkenmeier (2012). The play is one of a tragedy of jealousy, betrayal, and murder. Othello, the Moor of Venice, can pierce the soul when pride and ego are realized, and how easily a seed of discord, can be planted in the human mind and grow to the point of murder.

Next, the two women show a level of ignorance of the plots in play around them. Accidentally both Desdemona and Emilia play directly into Iago's ground breaking strategy of annihilation. Desdemona and Emilia are likewise faithful wives who need to satisfy their spouses. Othello trusts that Desdemona is lascivious and unchaste; in this manner Desdemona
