Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as is
virtue. Such is the case of the virtue of the
character Desdemona, from the play The Tragedy of
Othello, by William Shakespeare. Desdemona was

inhuman acts. Iago's first act of deception was

a domestic tragedy. Othello is, however, a truly
romantic character because he is very passionate

age-old theme of good versus evil is presented in
both William Golding s Lord of the Flies (LOTF),
and William Shakespeare s Othello. The characters
are used to show the battle between the two. Simon

innate goodness are challenged by many characters
that do not possess the same holy qualities- who
have actually subsided to the evil that is, in
every way, their opposite. Jack and Iago represent

the other hand is of higher status than many of
his peers in the play. This was different for
Shakespeare to present a minority person with such

Why Does Desdemona Marry Othello? In the last
scene of Othello, Desdemona recovers long enough
from the smothering that her jealous husband has
inflicted upon her to pronounce her complete
innocence, and with her last breath tells Emilia,
a guiltless death I die (V, ii. , l. 120).
Plainly, Iago has deceived Othello into believing
that his beautiful young wife has committed
adultery with his once-trusted second in command,
Cassio. That being so, Desdemona is clearly
innocent of the charges embodi...
