    Othello remains relevant to a modern audience through the human experiences of thematic issues such as jealousy‚ duty and honour‚ and racism. All three themes intertwine to convey the power and effect on different characters. Jealousy is used to highlight its immense self-destructive power‚ whilst duty and honour reflects the importance of one’s reputation. Racism is also present throughout the play‚ conveying the fears of being an outsider. Shakespeare successfully portrays these themes through

    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. What I think made this play great was that it has a villain behind the motive‚ which makes the play more interesting for me. “Othello” takes you on an adventure that makes you aware of whom you can and cannot trust; and who are your true friends. You can’t always believe what you hear

    ​Amongst life’s decisions‚ the most common example of poor judgment is acting on the possible rather than the probable‚ which was what mainly caused Othello’s tragedy in William Shakespeare’s Othello The Moor of Venice. Othello’s feelings of jealousy‚ Iago’s manipulation and his inferiority complex are all contributors of the plays tragedy. His decision to trust the wrong people instead of the people that were most loyal to him results into his dreadful demise. ​Many people believe that jealousy

    The Defeat of Othello The operations of a human beings mind‚ the place where we hold thoughts‚ find peace and security is thought to be our own…what if this is compromised?

    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

    quotes are said by Othello‚ whose character I believe made the most impact on my perception of the first great black protagonist in Western literature. 1. “Haply for I am black…’Tis destiny unshunnable‚ like death.” (Act 3 Scene 3 Lines 267-279). This is the first time that Othello himself‚ and not Iago calls negative attention to either his race or his age. His conclusion that Desdemona is “gone” shows how far Iago’s insinuations about Cassio and Desdemona have taken Othello. In a matter of a

    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
