The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice

Lodovico was shocked and disturbed by Othello's violent outburst towards Desdemona, perceiving it as a drastic shift from Othello's previously noble demeanor. He expressed disbelief at Othello's actions, suggesting a loss of reason and honor. Later, Iago manipulates the situation by explaining Othello's behavior as the result of Desdemona's supposed infidelity, further sowing distrust and fostering the tragic unfolding of events. Iago's deceitful rationale serves to deepen Lodovico’s concern about Othello’s state of mind and morality.

After being made lieutenant, Othello tasks Iago with helping him oversee the troops and manage military matters. Iago is expected to provide strategic advice, coordinate operations, and ensure discipline among the soldiers under Othello's command. Additionally, Othello entrusts Iago with important confidential information and relies on him for loyalty and support in both military and personal matters.

In Shakespeare's play "Othello," the question of whether Othello still loves Desdemona is complex and open to interpretation. Othello's feelings towards Desdemona evolve throughout the play, influenced by jealousy, manipulation, and his own insecurities. Ultimately, Othello's love for Desdemona is overshadowed by his doubts and suspicions, leading to tragic consequences.

A Florentine is someone who comes from the city of Florence. Cassio is a Florentine, which is one of the things that annoys Iago, since he is not a Venetian and yet holds a high rank in the Venetian army.

They were expected to take care of the house by cooking and cleaning, present themselves well, perform in bed, and be generally obedient and subservient to their husbands.

Othello wasn't written in the 1950s! Women like Desdemona or Emilia did not "take care of the house by cooking and cleaning". They had servants to do that. They were expected to be generally obedient and subservient by the more puritanical members of society. However, the reality was far different, as Shakespeare is at pains to point out. Unmarried women, according to the same sources, were supposed to be obedient and subservient to their fathers, but Desdemona is anything but to Brabantio.

Certainly Othello's action in publicly striking Desdemona was shocking, outrageous and way out of line, and is seen to be so by everyone who witnesses it.

That they were hungry lovers and never satisfied. This makes Othello feel more isolated due to his naivety. Hence the quotation: 'The cunning whore of Venice/ That married Othello.' Once Othello has fallen for Iago's manipulations he describes Desdemona as a 'cunning whore' and links her lack of fidelity to her origin. Deriving from the sexuality of Venetian women, he goes on to describe himself in the third person. In doing so Othello distances himself from the marital bond which he made. He wants escapism and distance from the innocent women, whom he is convinced has betrayed him, just like her Father. As Brabantio says: 'She has deceived me and may thee'. This foreshadowing and ominous warning is believed by Othello and he is inclined to believe she has been unfaithful. However Shakespeare's ironic cruelty becomes evident as in fact Desdemona is innocent and falsely accused.

Simon Stimson died before Emily in the play "Our Town." He hanged himself after feeling isolated and overwhelmed by the routines of daily life in the town.

blind trust of Iago, a quick temper

Desdemona's relationship with Othello is significant because it challenges societal norms of the time, as she falls in love with and marries a Moor, a black man. It also highlights themes of jealousy, racism, and manipulation, as Desdemona's loyalty and love for Othello are tested throughout the play. Ultimately, their relationship serves as a tragic example of how misunderstandings and external influences can lead to a breakdown in trust and communication.

Machiavelli's ideas of political strategy and manipulation likely influenced the themes of power, manipulation, and deception in Othello. This can be seen through the character of Iago, who embodies Machiavellian principles by manipulating others for his own gain. Shakespeare may have drawn inspiration from Machiavelli's writings to create a complex and intriguing antagonist in Iago.

In Othello, Iambic Pentameter is commonly used throughout the play. An example can be found in Act 1, Scene 3, where Othello says, "She loved me for the dangers I had passed, And I loved her that she did pity them." This line exemplifies the rhythmic pattern of unstressed and stressed syllables typical of Iambic Pentameter.

Around 1603 or 1604. The earliest record of the play being performed was Nov 1 1604 at court.

Iago uses everyone in the play. It is the only way that he can relate to people. He uses Roderigo as a source of money. He uses Cassio to set up Desdemona. He uses Desdemona's kindness to give him an opportunity to use Othello, and he uses Othello in order to destroy both him and Desdemona. He then uses Roderigo to destroy Cassio. He uses his wife Emilia to get Desdemona's handkerchief.

Iago is a psychopath. He does not care about anyone except himself and he is extremely adept at manipulating others. He is so good at appearing to be whatever he wants to be that everyone is taken in and thinks he is an "honest fellow".

Many scholars believe that the play Othello was based on the short story/play, A Moorish Captain.

Although Ophelia and Nala have different personalities and portrayals, both characters are similar to each other because they are the lover of the protagonist, Hamlet and Simba. Another similiarity (or more like an allusion) is that in The Lion King, Nala is thrown into a pool during the "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" sequence by Simba, but she emerges quickly as she doesn't want to drown. However, in Hamlet, Ophelia throws herself in the water and drowns.

He died in his palace at Memleben after celebrating Easter with a great assembly. He died from a strong fever as one of then strongest leaders after Charlemenge.

As the "ideal" wife: she submits to Othello as opposed to the other women who are quite strong characters. Therefore her supposed infidelity is even more painful for Othello to believe and for the audience to witness the catastrophic events which follow this.

Othello strangles Desdemona and then Emilia comes in and Iago kills her and then Othello realizes that Desdemona was innocent so in the end he kills himself. Not a happily ever after ending, eh?

In Act II Scene 3 Iago tells Montano that Cassio is a drunkard and drinks himself to sleep every night. "'Tis evermore the prologue to his sleep; He'll watch the horloge a double set if drink rock not his cradle." "Horloge" is French for "clock".
