Jealousy is one of the strongest and the most uncontrollable emotions. It can alter anyone’s perspective and lead them to do unspeakable actions‚ ones that they would never do under any other circumstances. Envy and jealousy have always been around‚ as most all people are not completely satisfied; they want something more. In Othello‚ by William Shakespeare‚ Iago

    oppressed socially‚ hymeneally‚ and parentally. For example‚ in Renaissance-era England women were considered as frail‚ anemic creatures that could not possibly survive without a man by their sides. This and other obsolete perspectives were universal beliefs; absurdities became so pervading that women started acquiescing to them by acting in an unhealthy‚ submissive fashion. Feminists were rarely present in the Elizabethan society although there is one feminist that is oft overlooked: the great bard

    Misogyny can be defined as the cultural attitude of hatred for females simply due to the fact that they are female and are seen as inferior to men in the Elizabethan society‚ because of misogyny‚ women live in a society dominated by men. Shakespeare expresses his ideas of misogyny through the character of Iago‚ who throughout the play‚ constantly degrades and controls Emilia‚ Iago also commonly insults females in general. Othello also shares his misogynistic views as he constantly hits Desdemona

    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

    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

    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
