    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

    In Shakespeare’s play “Othello” the character Othello is presented as an outsider to the events that are taking place amongst the other characters. He was excluded from what the truth holds and this caused his downfall‚ along with his jealous nature and stubbornness. To make things worse Iago’s cunning plans captures Othello into a downward spiral to his defeat. The sense of irony involved is regarded as a highly important technique that is repeated through out the play. As a stubborn and decisive

    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?

    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

    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
