Shakespeare explains with little detail how Othello's military life overruled his civilian life... in a sense Othello was unable to live a 'normal' life and interact with ordinary citizens because of his love for war. Evidently, Othello's failure to make the transition from military strong-man to a rational thinking human being and l...

811 words... p; And when she seemed to shake and fear your looks She loved them most. OTHELLO And so she did. (III. iii. 210 - 213) Here Iago plants the germ.

Othello And Desdemona Scene Iii
911 wordsWilliam 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...
