Act 3 Scene 3 Act 1 Scene 3
1,874 wordsIs 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...

Godfrey, Jealousy, once awakened, becomes self-perpetuating, self-intensifying, and where no evidence for it exists, the jealous person under the impulse of an extraordinary perversity will continue to manufacture it (Godfrey 418).

Emilia Blames Iago Othello Does Not Kill Iago Plays
543 wordsCharacter Analysis of Iago in Shakespeare's Othello In William Shakespeare's Othello, the character Iago is, at least in my point of view, the main and most interesting character. Iago is in virtually every scene in the play, and has his hands in almost all doings within the play. Iago is truly one of the greatest villas in literature. Iago is viewed by all in the play, with the possible exception of his wife, as an honest and trust worthy man, which could not be farther from the truth. Iago pla...

Black And White Othello And Desdemona
975 wordsAlthough there are lots of things to suggest this is a racist play I dont think that racism actually dominates the play, even though it has a racist theme. There is a romantic union between black and white which gets destroyed because most people think the relationship is wrong. At the time the play was written, 1604, even the Queen of England was racist so there must have been a strong hatred of blacks around that time. Most racist comments in the play are said by people that are angry or upset...
