Along with
Hamlet, king Lear and Macbeth Othello is one of Shakespeare's four
great tragedies. Othello is unique and often been described as a " Tragedy
of Characters". Shakespeare's tragic tale opens in Venice where the villainous Iago plots
against othello the Moor. Iago poisoned othello's ears that Cassio has an
illicit relationship with Desdemona. Desdemona
is completely innocent and extremely faithful to Othello. Iago gives
handkerchief that Desdemona dropped to Cassio then suggests othello that
Desdemona gave it to Cassio as asymbol of love. Mad
with jealousy, othello kills Desdemona his grief drives him to suicide. Iago
arrested but never reveals his true motive for manipulating Othello.
Iago's dazzling display of villainy have long fascinated students and
critics of the play. the relationship between these characters is another
unusual feature of Othello. othello and Iago bears the greater responsibility
for the tragedy. More than anything else what distinguish othello from it's great tragedies
peers is the role of it's villain, Iago is a character who essentially writes
play's main plot. and takes a key part in it. Written in 1604 othello is one of
Shakespeare's tightly constructed tragedies. The fall of proud, dignified man, the murder of loving and graceful woman and
the unreasoning hatred of a " motiveless " villain all have evoked
fear and pity in audiences throughout the centuries.
" OTHELLO THE MAN
OF ACTION "
if we compare othello
with Hamlet then we came across the truth that if we replace both of this
protagonist then play must have peaceful and happy end. Because othello kills
his wife without thinking even if she was innocent and Hamlet takes much time
in thinking even if he knows that Claudius is a murderer.
