    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

    English Literature The focus of the play Othello is not so much Othello’s flaws and weaknesses but more Iago’s villainy. A thorough analysis of the play Othello tends to reveal that the focus of the play is actually about Othello’s flaws and weaknesses rather than Iago’s villainy. This conclusion has been reached due to the fact that many elements of drama as well as a characteristic of Shakespearean tragedy are centered on Othello and his imperfections. In essence‚ the conflict and thematic
