The demise of both Othello and Iago is due to each one’s weak judge of character‚ and poor judgement of situations. Othello falls from a position of power and nobility to a debased shadow of his former self‚ as a result of Iago’s cunning plans. Yet had Othello a better sense of judgement Iago’s schemes would not have worked. One of Othello’s

    Othello’s weakness is as much a cause of tragedy as Iago’s malice; do you agree? The power to use another person and manipulate them is a great skill which Iago possess‚ but without all of Othello ‘s weakness’‚ it would be a pointless skill‚ which is why the main cause of Othello’s tragedies is his weaknesses.

    tragedy Othello has significantly helped me shape my view of human nature‚ and understanding of what drives people to sometimes immoral action.

As with any valued literary text‚ Shakespeare’s complex and intriguing characters are an integral part of Othello‚ driving
