    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

    character: Othello. As one first begins to read this play‚ it seems that Othello is a truly noble character. Interestingly enough‚ with further reading and studying‚ one begins to doubt this nobility and speculate if his motives are guided by his love for others or his love for himself. Even though it is hard to see at first‚ the true nature of Othello’s character is actually quite self-centered. Throughout Othello there are several occurrences where it is shown that the character Othello is very

    IN OTHELLO JENNIFER PUTNAM This paper was written for Dr. Brevik’s English 1102 class. Shakespeare is prominent in his use of recurring themes throughout his works‚ particularly those of love‚ death‚ and betrayal. All these themes are present in Othello. Most paramount‚ however‚ is jealousy. Jealousy runs the characters’ lives in Othello from the beginning of the play‚ when Roderigo is envious of Othello because he wishes to be with Desdemona‚ and to the end of the play‚ when Othello is

    is a Major theme in Othello and is mainly demonstrated when Othello perceives Iago to be honest‚ but in reality he is extremely dis honest. “Oh that’s an honest fellow. Do not doubt Cassio.” – Emilia (3.3.174-175) “I think thou dost; and for I know thou’rt full of love and honesty.” – Othello (3.3.178-179) “Not for my manhood‚ honesty or wisdom.” – Iago (3.3.181-182) “Why did I marry? This honest creature doubtless sees and knows more‚ much more‚ than he unfolds.” – Othello – (3.3.192-194) “I

    love for Othello is unnatural‚ since‚ according to him‚ Desdemona would never fall for a black man who she "fear’d to look on." Of course‚ Brabantio couldn’t be more wrong about his daughter – Desdemona is in love Othello. It seems that Iago has played Brabantio perfectly. Iago knew that Brabantio was racist and‚ as previous passages demonstrate‚ he used Brabantio’s attitude toward the idea of a mixed marriage in order to rile the man against Othello. Brabantio repeatedly insists that Othello must have

    Othello In the beginning of the play‚ Othello is mentioned in description by Iago and Roderigo during their discussion rather than being physically present; “The Moore”(1.i57) ‚ “the thick-lips” (I.i.66)‚ “an old black ram” (I.i.88)‚ and “a Barbary horse” (I.i.113).

We understand in the beginning through Iago And Roderigo’s discussions that Othello is an outsider‚ by description racially and culturally. I believe Shakespeare

    easily jealous” is open to question‚ and his claim that he “loved not wisely but too well” seems both an understatement and an exaggeration (V.ii.354‚ 353). Further‚ Othello’s invocation of his own military triumphs might be seen as another example of Othello dangerously misordering his priorities. He seems to position his political reputation as his biggest concern‚ as he did in Act III‚ scene iii‚ lines 353–355‚ when‚ having decided that Desdemona does not love him‚ he exclaimed‚ “Farewell the tranquil
