Character Of Othello Honest Man Iago
883 words
Honesty can be a way of life for many people. For
some it can define all that they really are and
for others it can define how they view all of
their peers, friends, and family. But whichever
way you cut it, honesty can affect you greatly and
every solitary day. This idea was one of the most
specific and open parts of the plot of William
Shakespeare's Othello. In the play Shakespeare

as a result of believing and trusting in the
honesty and words o...

Black And White Othello And Desdemona

Although 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

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
