Which character dies at the end of Othello?

Three characters are killed: the two lovers, Othello and Desdemona, and Emilia, who is murdered by the evil Iago.


Why is Othello gullible and easily fooled?

He is not. Every other character in the play, without exception, considers Iago to be honest and trustworthy. Cassio lets Iago trick him into drinking more than he should, and then immediately trusts him again when Iago tells him to go to Desdemona. Is he gullible and easily fooled? Roderigo is conned again and again out of his money by Iago for a purpose anyone could tell was a waste of time. Again and again Roderigo is taken in by Iago. Iago even fools his wife (who by this point ought to know better) in the matter of the handkerchief. Emilia does not think it suspicious enough to tell Desdemona, unfortunately. As for Othello, Iago knows that Othello cannot be easily fooled. If Othello were so foolish, Iago could have told him his wife was unfaithful, and he would have believed it. No, instead, Iago only plants the idea in Othello's mind, saying all along that he doesn't believe it. He plays on Othello's humility, his concern that a man of his age, background and race could have few attractions for a girl like Desdemona. And so Othello starts to wonder, to doubt, to worry, not because he is gullible but because he is humble. But he doesn't right off believe it. He's not Claudio from Much Ado. "Give me the ocular proof!" he demands. Are these the words of a gullible man? Iago is a very skillful psychological manipulator. Nobody is immune to his techniques. Nobody. Othello is not a gullible man. Iago is an evil genius.


Does Othello still love Desdemona?

Oh, yes. It wouldn't be as sad if he didn't. Read or watch the scene in which he kills her again. Again and again his love and his better nature are struggling with the evil jealousy Iago has planted in him.


Why does Iago say he loves Desdemona?

This is one of those things that people debate about endlessly, like whether Hamlet was really crazy. Even Iago, who talks to us a lot during the play, does not seem to be sure why he hates them so much. It could be a lot of factors, such as: 1: Iago is a chauvinist and hates anyone not born in Venice (as neither Othello or Cassio is) 2: Iago believes that he is entitled to a higher place in the army because of his background and resents Othello and Cassio who have their positions based on merit. 3: Iago believes that Cassio was not promoted on merit and resents him as a mere paper-pusher and resents Othello for promoting him. 4: Iago believes that Othello has slept with Emilia. 5: Iago is secretly in love with Desdemona and resents the fact that she seems to like both Othello and Cassio better than him. 6: Iago is secretly in love with Othello, and resents the fact that he seems to love both Cassio and Desdemona better than him. 7: Iago secretly believes that nobody loves him, because he is unlovable, and hates anyone who seems to be loved by another.

Is Iago pure evil?

Iago is often considered a complex character who displays malevolent behavior in William Shakespeare's play Othello. While some view him as purely evil due to his manipulation and betrayal of Othello, others argue that his motives are rooted in envy, resentment, and a desire for revenge. Ultimately, his character is open to interpretation and debate.
