In Othello's final speech he reminds us that he is noble. He is humble and does not talk too highly about himself but doesn't self deprecate either. Othello is not defensive and doesn't try to make excuses for what he has done. He takes complete accountability for murdering his wife. He also knows that he did it because of love. He realizes that suspicion and jealousy is the reason that he killed Desdemona. He doesn't blame Iago or anyone else but himself because he is a good leader. His last words are very matter of fact and don't show much emotion about the sad events. He chooses what he says very carefully, so that he can keep his image intact as a good leader.

    Iago used his words and stays to put every person close to him against the other with no are to the wind. He pitches couples against each other which eventually lead to having no regrets of death or an excuse for the murders. Like all Rhetorician Magicians Iago has his wild side. His wild crazy psychotic side is who Iago is truly. He is a true manipulative master, he shows very little if any remorse at ending of the play.he is responsible for so many deaths and tragedies and just emotionally scaring people yet he has no empathy or any sign of sympathy.…

    Iago's Reverse Psychology

    • 1329 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Iago is described as “a puppeteer of the psyche, he pulls the strings of those who should know better with a battery of verbal weapons” (edsitement.neh.gov). Said to be the most cunning and persuasive villain of any Shakespeare composition, Iago, the antagonist of Othello, verbally manipulates the characters of the show to benefit himself in an almost seamless manner with his convincing rhetoric. Like a puppeteer and his marionettes, Iago deploys rhetorical devices and strategies that include vivid bestial imagery, meaningful pauses, and reverse psychology to manipulate the characters and their actions. Iago captivates the characters in the story with his sly rhetorical style.…

    Iago says, “Though I am bound to every act of duty/ I am not bound to that all slaves are free to” ( III.iii.138-139).Iago purposely becomes suspicious so Othello can catch the bait, so he can start manipulating him. Iago uses different strategies against Othello to make him believe what he wants.

Iago uses logos to trick Othello into thinking that Desdemona is cheating on him.…

    Othello also tells the Venetian authorities to relate his story on to others, so that others may not suffer a similar fate as he does. Othello’s last command to anyone is as follows, “I pray you, in your letters, /When you shall these unlucky deeds relate, /Speak of me as I am, nothing extenuate, /Nor set down aught in malice. Then you must speak /Of one that loved not wisely but too well; /Of one not easily jealous, but being wrought, …” (5.2.339-344).…

The first is the guilt that a person feels for themselves, it can consume ones-self and send the person into a spiral of self-destruction.

    By the end of the play when Othello is about to kill his wife, he has her beg for forgiveness from God. This is done so that Othello can ensure that Desdemona would go to heaven even though she had “sinned”. This makes it seem as though Othello still cares for his wife and did not wish for her to go to the worse place she could be “hell” because of one mistake which the audience knows she did not commit but Othello has not been privy to this information just yet. After Desdemona is killed and Othello finds out that Iago was deceiving him, he kills himself without asking for forgiveness from god. He knows that he made a mistake and should have asked his wife about what Iago had been telling him.…

    Body paragraph #4 A second standard that Othello meets is that he believes that non threatening remarks are threatening. Othello’s words confirm that he turns innocent events into a threat when he says, “Make it a darling like your precious eye. / To lose ’t or give ’t away were such perdition / As nothing else could match” (Shakespeare 3.4.…

    His tone is rather rash and very demeaning, especially towards his own wife, whom everybody seems to believe is innocent except him and Iago. He calls her a “strumpet” (4.2.81) and a “whore” (4.2.72). She claims ignorance and innocence, but he refuses to believe her. Even when Emilia defends her, Othello is unable to hear any voice of reason. Again, this demonstrates the inferior treatment of the women in the play.…

    As he continues to spiral down the path of losing control over his rational thought and actions he leads himself to kill his wife and regrets his decision leading to his attempt towards redemption in his final moments. Othello requests that when Cassio and Lodovico relay what has happened to Venice that he should be remembered as he was before he let jealousy and anger rule his actions. He does not want to be remembered as a man who gave into jealousy or who acted against his best nature and killed his wife, (V.II.401-406). Othello’s request to be seen as having returned to his pre-manipulation self, demonstrates that he still wants to be valued as a respectable man. He tries to look past the events that have transpired and remember who…

Even Iago knows this about Othello, and uses it against him: “The Moor is of a free and open nature/ That thinks men honest that but seem to be so, / And will as tenderly be led by th’nose” (1.3.389-391). This trust and faith in his peers is broken by the end of the play, not only because of the accusations against Desdemona, but also Iago’s constant questioning of Othello’s trust in her. Iago breaks Othello’s spirit down piece by piece until there’s nothing left.…

    He knows that Othello is a powerful general, and can order the deaths of both Desdemona and Cassio. Iago feels that the end justifies the means, and it does not feel so for this case. For the very little pain Iago feels, this plan seems too extreme, and that is why he does not follow the trend of a tragic…

    Some perplexing social issues, such as bigotry and envy, have passed from one generation to the next, affecting those that suffer from them. William Shakespeare, a well-known poet, often wrote plays including these controversies. One of these plays, Othello, is about a black man named Othello who faces prejudice due to his ethnicity. He is a proud and capable general in battle, which has won him the favor of the senate. Yet his place in society as a Moor keeps him feeling insecure when it comes to his wife, Desdemona.…

    Hedonism In Othello

    • 1409 Words
    • 6 Pages

    In the very end, Othello tragically dies alongside his wife. He tragically fell from being the prestigious Moor to a murderous lunatic who believed in falsifications of his own wife. His focus in negativities, such as heavily viewing the possibility of his wife being unfaithful towards him instead of earnestly focusing on the positive possibility that Desdemona, his wife, is actually remaining faithful towards him, and the abundant hedonism in the play, such as his drastic desire for vengeance and knowledge and the desire of Iago, led to Othello’s downfall. Ergo, Othello is the tragic hero in William Shakespeare’s play, Othello, the Moor of Venice. Since Othello focused on the negative possibility, instead of being open to a positive possibility, and since hedonism was evident in himself and Iago, Othello, a tragic hero in the Aristotelian tragedy, obviously fell from being a man whom the senators revered to a man who was wifeless and powerless and who committed suicide.…
