Who are the venetians in Othello?

Who is lago in Othello?

He is Othello's ensign or ancient, the soldier who carries the commander's flag, and acts as a sort of servant. He is the one who plants the idea in Othello's head that Desdemona is having an affair with Cassio (even though it is untrue) and helps plant evidence to prove this (namely the handkerchief). He advances a number of reasons why he does this: because he was jealous of Cassio's promotion to a command rank, because he thought Othello may have slept with his wife, or because Othello and Cassio were both upstarts, neither of them Venetians by birth and both of them getting commissions through merit.


Who is the first character to refer to Othello by name?

The duke in the beginning of Act one scene three when he says "Valiant Othello we must straight employ you against the general enemy Ottoman" up until then most of the characters call him "the moor". This is important because that he is first acknowledged by name in a military setting suggests he is only accepted by the venetians because he is a useful commander.


Who were the Venetians in Shakespeare time?

The Venetians in Shakespeare's time are the same thing as the Venetians are today--people who live in Venice.

What was Lodovico's reaction to Othello's behavior toward Desdemona?

He was shocked, for a number of reasons, when he saw Othello publicly strike Desdemona. First of all, it was totally different from the kind of behaviour that the Venetians had come to expect from Othello. Secondly, it was shocking and outrageous that any man should strike his wife. But it was even more shocking that he should do it in public. And it was even more shocking than that when, as it happened, the wife in question was the daughter of an important man, a senator. Lodovico says that if he told the people in Venice what he saw, they would not believe it.
