What was Othello's victory?

Was Othello foolish in the play Othello?
Yes, Othello was foolish in the play. He had believed the lies that Iago told him that Cassio was sleeping with his wife Desdemona. And the fact that Desdemona had been wrongfully unfaithful to him. These incidents were not true led him to believe that it is all real. So definitely Othello was mistakenly foolish indeed. He had found out that Desdemona was innocent but a little bit too late when Othello ultimately committed suicide out of horrifying guilt. From another point of view it is a bit harsh to call Othello foolish. He is subjected to a sophisticated campaign of manipulation by Iago, who is a master at it. Very few people would have been able to resist Iago, mostly because he always appeared to resist saying that Desdemona and Cassio were having an affair, which made his suggestion that they were the more plausible. Othello, the play starts with the possibility of a war against the 'Ottomites,' which rhymes with sodomites. But anyway, Othello is supposedly a successful army leader, and the play sets out to show how and why he is successful as a man of war. He lives in a violent universe, and his solutions are violent. The war is transported to the war of the sexes, as there is a lot of talk about the relations between men and woman, in regard to love and marriage.
The villain in Othello is?
Iago is, although he is more likely to get others to do bad things than to do them himself. He does murder Roderigo, after egging him on to kill Cassio. He also induces Othello to murder Desdemona.The villain in Othello is Iago as he twists Othello's mind and gets him to kill Desdemona, steals from Roderigo and kills him, kills Emilia, wounds Cassio and ruins his job.
Who was at war with Scotland in 'Macbeth'?
The Shakespearean play 'Macbeth' began and ended with Scotland at war with another country. In Act 1 Scene 2, King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] received the reports of victory for his rule and for Scotland against the seemingly overwhelming numbers of invading Norwegians and rebellious Scotsmen. So the play began with war between King Duncan I of Scotland and King Sweno [c. 1016-1035] of Norway. In Act 5 Scene 2, the 10,000 man strong army of Siward, Earl of Northumberland and General of the English forces, had crossed Scotland's border with northern England. They already were advancing towards Birnam Wood, as one stage on route to their final destination of Macbeth's royal residence at Dunsinane Castle. And so the play ended with war between King Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] of Scotland and Sainted King Edward the Confessor [c. 1003-January 5, 1066] of England.
