Is Othello tragedy self inflicted or beyond his control?

Take your pick. Othello is manipulated by Iago who is a master at the craft of manipulating people and does the same to Cassio and Roderigo. Although it would be hypothetically possible for Othello to shake off Iago's influence, in practical terms it would be extremely difficult. Although Othello has control over his actions, his perspective is skewed by Iago's manipulation. So in one sense it was his own doing that he struck Desdemona publicly and murdered her privately, and yet he was doing so in response to a false belief that has been implanted in him and would be nearly impossible to resist. You may say, "But no matter what Desdemona had done, Othello should have known it was wrong to kill." And yet people kill others all the time, knowing it to be wrong and yet believing that there is an overriding moral reason for doing so. And before you say that preventing a woman from seducing more men is no kind of moral reason, think about the ludicrous moral reasoning which justified blowing up the World Trade Centre or sending troops to slaughter tens of thousands of Iraquis.

Brabantio disapproves of Othello and the relationship he has with Brabantio's daughter Desdemona. This is not because Othello is not worthy of Desdemona because he is a much respected officer, but because he is a Moor (in that time an African) and therefore considered beneath the Italian people.


Why did Othello strip cassio of is rank?

Othello stripped Cassio of his rank after he was involved in a drunken brawl, which resulted in a breach of discipline and order. As a leader, Othello felt it was necessary to maintain authority and uphold the standards of the military. Cassio's actions reflected poorly on Othello's judgment and leadership, prompting him to take decisive action to demonstrate the consequences of such behavior. This decision also serves as a critical turning point in the play, setting off a chain of events manipulated by Iago.


How does Cassio try to get back into good standing with Othello?

Cassio attempts to regain Othello's favor by seeking Desdemona's help to advocate for him. He believes that her influence over Othello can persuade him to reinstate Cassio to his position after he was dismissed for his involvement in a drunken brawl. Cassio's strategy relies on Desdemona's loyalty and goodwill, reflecting his understanding of the power dynamics in their relationships. Ultimately, this reliance on Desdemona sets off a chain of events that Othello's jealousy and Iago's manipulation exploit.
