    Othello” By William Shakespeare William Shakespeare’s “Othello” I feel is one of the most interesting plays Shakespeare wrote. It’s hard to put down a play because you don’t know what happens next.

You can’t always believe what you hear

    Today I am questioned with why Othello not only believes Iago’s lies‚ but succumbs to them and acts out upon them. The reasons behind this inculde the theme of honesty and trust‚ as seen in Iago’s character. During the first few scenes it would appear that Othello is close to Iago‚ but not vice versa. Othello is seen freely presenting Iago as honest. It is then revealed that Iago isn’t as honest as his name‚ but the complete opposite. The reason Othello calls him honest is beacause he trusts him
