No, Othello is a fictional character. Shakespeare simply wrote the play to entertain, and entertain it did. It deals with love, hate, jealousy, racism, authority, headship, murder, deceit etc.

He knows Othello is looking on and thinks that they are talking about Desdemona. The kinds of things Cassio is likely to say about Bianca drive Othello wild when they appear to be about Desdemona.

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.

Do you mean to ask if there's literally a green-eyed monster in Othello? If that's what you're asking, then no.

The "green-eyed monster" refers to the popular saying which says a persons eyes "turn green" when filled with the feeling of jealousy. One of the main themes in Othello is jealousy, along with deceit and betrayal. There is no physical green-eyed monster in Othello.

I don't know what you where expecting but the answer is simply an emotion, jealousy used in the term as " i see the green eyed monster" green being a negative colour to other people

The climax of Othello is when Othello goes into Desdemona's room to kill her.

Partly. Cassio is justly restored to favour after being entrapped into a crime. Iago will be punished. These things are just and fair.

But Desdemona is dead, who was absolutely innocent. Emilia, who unwittingly helped Iago but redeemed herself by revealing what she knew, died for courageously doing so. And Othello, who is as much a victim as they are, is dead also. The unfairness of these deaths cannot be made right by punishing Iago. Nothing can bring them back to life.

Oversimplifying greatly ... Othello is a dark-skinned African Muslim (a "Moor") who is a high-ranking and hot-tempered general in the army of Venice, Italy. Cassio is Othello's trusted lieutenant. Desdemona is Othello's girlfriend, whom he marries early in the story. Iago (ee-ah-go) is a deviously sly soldier in Othello's army; he is jealous and bitter and wants to destroy Othello, because Othello has chosen Cassio to be his lieutenant instead of choosing Iago. Roderigo is another soldier who Iago easily manipulates to do his bidding. Everyone else in the story takes part in action that revolves around these 5 main characters. Iago tries to get Desdemona's father and the Duke of Venice to believe that Othello engaged in sorcery and kidnapping to get Desdemona to marry him, but that doesn't work. Fortunately for Iago, Othello doesn't realize that Iago is out to get him. Iago gets Cassio drunk, gets Roderigo to pick a fight with Cassio, and then convinces Othello that Cassio started the fight. Othello strips Cassio of his rank. Iago convinces Cassio that Othello's wife Desdemona can help convince Othello to give Cassio his rank back. Iago helps Cassio arrange a secret meeting with Desdemona. Then Iago convinces Othello that Cassio and Desdemona are having a love affair behind his back. Iago convinces Roderigo to kill Cassio, but Cassio is only wounded. Iago kills Roderigo so he can't tell anyone that Iago put him up to the murder attempt. In a fit of jealous rage, Othello smothers Desdemona who he believes has been having sex with Cassio. Cassio, Iago and others arrive at the scene of Desdemona's murder. Othello repents of his fit of temper that has caused him to kill his beloved wife. Desdemona's maid reveals that Iago made her set up false evidence that led Othello to his tragic incorrect conclusion. Iago kills the maid. Othello stabs Iago but only wounds him. Othello begs Cassio to forgive him for his unfounded jealousy, which he does. OMG, the dead Roderigo has left a letter fully incriminating the villainous Iago, who is led away to what we assume is torture and a gruesome death. Othello, crushed by having allowed Iago to lead him to ruin, gives a final speech and commits suicide with his dagger. Everyone comes back to life and bows to the audience, who are weeping and applauding.

Iago, Brabantio and Roderigo. Nobody else seems to care. And probably Brabantio is the most intolerant--he will have Othello over to supper but he wouldn't want him to marry his daughter. Roderigo wouldn't care except that they are rivals for Desdemona and Roderigo will throw any dirt that might possibly stick at Othello. Iago's position is mysterious, but whatever his motive for disliking Othello (and who knows, race might be a part of that), he is sure prepared to make an issue of Othello's race around the racist Brabantio.

Technically, yes. Iago is taken to be tortured and imprisoned.

But is justice really served? I don't think Shakespeare, the audience, or the characters would say so. After all of the tragedy and turmoil Iago causes, there is little that can be done to rectify the situation.

The play Othello is a tragedy because both main and minor characters die in the end. Othello kills his innocent wife Desdemona and then he commits suicide. Iago kills Emilia. But fortunately Cassio is still well and alive. He is then proclaimed governor of Cyprus.
