In the movie, Othello, the Moor of Venice, I found
the play very tragic and sad. It is a love story
filled with lies, deception and betrayal. This
movie deals with a couple in love played by
Othello and Desdemona. Both of them from the

together. Iago, a young Venetian, who pretends to

ultimately destroys Othello and Desdemona with his

Is Othello a noble hero brought down by a devil of
motiveless malignity or is Othello flawed and self
regarding and brought down by a worldly realist?
As is shown above, there have been many
differentiating opinions of the two most
inscrutable characters in Shakespeare's history.
As both these characters never fully reveal their
true selves or their motives, it has always been
difficult to determine their disposition from just
the play as a source. Yet, despite this many
scholars have brought fo...

Othello is a study into the potency of evil
Discuss this view of the play, paying careful
attention to Iago's motives and destructive
achievements (you should concentrate on Act III
Scene III though you will have to relate it to
other parts of the play). Potent in its literal
sense means powerful. This essay therefore is
based on a statement saying that the play is a
study into the power of evil. Evil is conveyed in
many different ways in Othello, but they all seem
to radiate from Iago. Therefor...

Othello And Desdemona Binary Opposition
2,089 words
It is certainly not hard to conclude that it is
probably Shakespeare's most controversial play.
There is a clear theme of racism throughout, one
which was firmly embedded in the Venetian society
which rejects the marriage of Othello and
Desdemona as erring, against all rules of nature,
[ 1. 3. 102 ] Nothing separates Othello from, the
wealthy curled darlings of our nation, [ 1. 2. 68
] except skin-color he matches or even exceeds
them in reputation. At the start of the play, he

Othello And Desdemona Cassio And Desdemona

A puppet master is in complete control over his
puppet. But only after years of studying and
observation does this special interaction of
complete control occur. The master soon speaks for
the puppet, acts for the puppet, and feels for the
puppet. A similar manipulative situation arises
between Iago and Othello in Shakespeare's Othello.
Iago's clever application of parallelism, rhyme,
and metaphor play a key role in his devilish
scheme. He wishes to manipulate Othello's
emotions; thus creating a...

to the conclusion that it might be one of the his
most tragic plays ever written by Shakespeare.

his tragic plays, but Othello, has characteristics
that, I think make it even more tragic then his
other plays, and therefore for that reason, you
can say that Othello is the most tragic hero.

How Evil is Seen in Shakespeare s Othello A
Character Study of Iago By Amber Santos In
Othello, one can see the battle between the
deceitful forces of evil and the innocence of good

characters themselves can be viewed as a mix of
both good and evil, with the exception of two;
Desdemona who is spotless and Iago, who has no
good in him. They are our two extremes, and the
walls between which the rest of the characters,
all a mix of good and evil, will i...

Love For Desdemona Cassio And Desdemona

In the historical tragedy Othello by William
Shakespeare there is a great show of hate and
dislike toward Othello by Iago. Why does Iago have
such hate for the Moor? Through analyzing Iago's
character the answer to this question can be
found. Iago develops hatred toward Othello for a
variety of reasons. Not only is Othello dark
skinned, but he also did not give the lieutenancy
to Iago. Iago suspects that Othello slept with his
wife, Emilia, and he also suspects Cassio of doing
the same. Another ...

Kill His Wife Characters In The Play

Othello is a unique tragedy in that it focuses on
the destruction of love through sexual jealousy.
Jealousy is not inherited in a person, but
developed from the fatal factors of their
character. Othello is plagued with his ego and
pride which contributes to his demise. Othello is,
however, a truly romantic character because he is
very passionate and full of deep feelings. It

Tragic Hero Fatal Flaw

A tragic figure, according to the classic
definition, is a person of noble birth whose
character is flawed by a weakness that causes his
downfall. Othello, while not a prince or a king,
is descended from royalty, and proves himself
worthy as a powerful soldier and a gentle, poetic
man. While some people feel that his fatal flaw is
his jealous nature, others feel Othello proves
that he is not prone to jealousy. I tend to favor
the notion that Othello's flaw is a jealous
passion that he cannot con...
