There are evil people in this world; greedy,

... e demands for Ocular proof to provide evidence
for Desdemona's disloyalty. F. R. Leavis considers
a different theory; in opposition to Bradley's
insistence that Othello was not easily jealous, he
argues that jealousy is the basis of the problem,
suggesting evidence in Othello's words: Haply for
I am black / And have not those soft parts of
conversation / That Clamberers have, or for I am

It has given so many masterpieces to the world,

Tragic Hero Tragedies frequently focus on a tragic
hero that has a flaw that ultimately leads to his
downfall. That flaw is commonly referred to as a
tragic flaw that is inborn to the person and can
reflect his background. In Aristotle's Poetics, he
discusses the theory of tragedy and what criterion
is essential in an ideal tragedy. According to
Aristotle, the tragic flaw is the most important
part of the hero and the events that occur in the
work is a reflection of that flaw. A tragic flaw

Tragedy of Trust Naive, unsophisticated, proud,

characteristics it is broad in meaning, almost a

that are brought out in the character of Othello
throughout the play, The Tragedy of Othello.
However, only a few of these traits would have
been apparent if it had not been for the character
of Iago. He instigated all of the wrong- doing

Othello And Desdemona Scene Iii
911 words
William Shakespeare's Othello is a tragic play
consisting of five acts. Although each act is not
of equal importance, each serves a distinct role
that affects the quality of the play in its
entirety. Removing any act would therefore greatly
diminish the final product of this play;
consequently, reducing the plays appeal to the
audience. Since Act I satisfies several essential
purposes, removing it would be a mistake.
Ultimately, we would no longer be seeing Othello
the way Shakespeare had intend...

Quot V Takes Responsibility
1,237 words
William Shakespeare presents an excellent leader
but a poor reasoner in Othello. The eponymous hero
has strength, charisma, and eloquence. Yet these
ideals of leadership do not bode well in real
world situations. The battlefield and Senate are,
at least in Othello, depicted as places of honor,
where men speak truly. In addition, the matters of
war and state are relatively simple; no one lies
to Othello, all seem to respect him. He never even
has to fight in the play, with the enemy
disappearing ...

Act 3 Scene 3 Cassio And Desdemona

In Act 3 Scene 3, how does Iago persuade Othello
of Desdemona s supposed infidelity? Act 3 Scene 3
is, arguably, the most important scene in the
entire play, for it is the point of no return. It
is as if for the entire beginning of the play you
were pushing a huge boulder up a steep mountain,
and in this scene you reach the top, and push it
down the other side, helpless to stop it. This is
how I see the action in Othello. Iago spends the
whole time plotting, and conspiring with the

his wife, Desdemona, is having an affair with
Cassio. He does this through a series of

his demise. But what is more important is, he

innocent Desdemona, satisfying Iago's immense
appetite for revenge. The motive for Iago's
