Desdemona becomes a symbol of the white upper class to Othello. In this sense, by killing Desdemona he is revenging the power the white society exercises over him.

His slight anti-establishment views and the way he perceived the upper classes influence on business also were important things that he touched on his works. Lets take a look at Herman Melville and how he perceived 19th century American business practices.
