Is Othello or Hamlet better?
That's a matter of opinion. Comparing the amount written about the two plays, people find Hamlet more interesting to discuss.
Write a mini essay No character in Othello is flawless Discuss some of these flaws and how Iago uses to his advantage?
Well...OK... No character in Othello is perfect- this is true. There are two main instance where weaknesses come into play and are exploited by Iago. Michael Cassio, the mathematician who Iago is gunning to displace the whole time, has a known weakness for alcohol. Othello explicitly instructs him not to drink on his shift, but he does regardless. Iago then exploits this weakness, and soon Cassio threatens violence, and ends up stabbing Montano. Iago, when asked later, pretends he had nothing to do with it. This is ultimately what gets Cassio booted from the lieutenancy. The prime example of Iago's exploitation is, of course, Othello. Othello is willing to jump to conclusions about Desdemona and her scandalous (and ostensibly numerous) love affairs with Cassio and other men. All Iago has to do is plant these ideas in Othello's mind, and Othello goes to them himself. Othello is so caught up in rage that he cannot even see that they have only been in Cyprus a few days. These wild affairs behind his back are not even feasible.

Why is Othello called a domestic tragedy?
The classification of Shakespeare's plays as "Histories" "Comedies" and "Tragedies" was done by the publishers of the compilation known as The First Folio. In this edition, the full title of the play is "The Tragedy of Othello, The Moor of Venice", and it is classed among the tragedies.Some people will want to discuss whether this play falls within the conventions and definitions of tragedy drawn from Aristotle by later critics. It is important to know that this is a highly artificial and academic definition which Shakespeare himself does not use, and which hinges on whether there is a "tragic hero" as described by Aristotle (Basically, Oedipus in Sophocles' Oedipus Rex).Some will say Othello is not a tragedy. Othello is not a tragic hero, Iago manipulates him. Othello falls for it because essentially he has to, he is an outsider. Also, Iago has about 200 more lines than Othello. If Iago is considered the central character, then he can in no way be considered a tragic hero.Others will say that 'Othello' is a tragedy as he follows the conventions of a 'tragic hero'. A tragic hero is someone who has a flaw, and that flaw leads to his downfall. Othello's flaw is that he is naive and believes "honest Iago" to be exactly that, honest. Becuase of his trusting nature he declines and he ends his life realising he has nothing to live for. Iago does maniplulate Othello. But just because Iago has more control over the characters before the final scene in Act 5, doesn't mean he is the main character.Another point of view is that the definition of 'hero' in literature has changed, and there may be better ways of deciding whether something is a tragedy than seeing how close the main character comes to Oedipus. Keep in mind that Shakespeare was a man who was beyond his time. He wrote in a very modern way. He isn't called the father of literature for no reason. In short, do we not feel like our guts are kicked out when we see this man, torn between his brain and his heart, who destroys the one he loves and who truly loves him only to find out minutes later that it was all a con job? I think so, and if that's not tragedy I don't know what is.To conclude, 'Othello' is in fact, a tragedy. It is known as "Shakespeare's greatest tragedy".

Your girl friend is obeying her parents wordit is dangerous for you how can you treat her to obey your word?
A successful relationship is based upon mutual agreement, not upon obedience to orders. If you want someone to obey your word, get a pet dog. They can be trained to obey. Girlfriends are another matter. As for her parents criticism of you, you can certainly discuss it with your girlfriend. The criticism either is valid or it isn't. I personally have no way of knowing. Even if the criticism is valid that doesn't mean that your relationship must fail. Perhaps there is something about you that can be improved.
