Monologue Of Othello

Improved Essays
Rodrigo, what a fool. Having sealed his fate, he knows not that he is under my illusion. Thinking us as mutual. Equals.
That being said, the brain is weak and the money is plentiful.
But alas, my mind is getting the better of me. This burning sensation.
Ever pulsating, it follows me always. Through brightest of day, and darkest of night.
What, you ask?
I loathe, no... despise... no... I.. Hate... The Moor....
There is talk of... my wife of whom I love dearly alongside... The Moor, of whom my heart burns of hatred... committing the heinous act of... Adultery...
I am not of certainty, but word for word, I haven't but a shadow of a doubt. an act of such extent... will be treated with the utmost of persecution. In my own words, I vow to bring Othello to divine justice.

A poor mistake, with no effort, I can puppet his thoughts with ease.
Cassio, under his wing, Othello holds him dear. Planting the seeds of retribution, his position compromised. through means of deceit, his reputation to be tainted.
How? Let me see...
The Moor... A taste of his own... medicine... so to speak, I shall rob Cassio of Othello's trust, spreading gossip of adultery betwixt Othello's beloved and Cassio. Suspicions will arise, Cassio undoubtedly receiving the cold shoulder, alongside a swift disposal, to which I will claim.
The Moor is of a carefree and accepting will, thinking not to judge one by their cover, how foolish.
Alongside The Moor, I shall lead him ever so blindly by the nose, quite like... a mule, no... better yet, an ass. Yes, he shall be my dog to yank by the leash.
My plan, in succession it shall prevail.
En garde, Othello.
My Heart goes out to

    Good morning fellow aspiring directors, I’m here today from the Australian Film School and will be discussing the well known play Othello by Shakespeare, the play to this day is still very relevant, Shakespeare has done this by incorporating the themes jealousy, appearance and reality and racism which still occurs in our society today and can often appear in our day to day life. By including these themes in the play it keeps the relationship with the now modern audience despite the original plays age. This is seen in Geoffrey Sax’s 2001 film Othello, where Geoffrey has appropriated the film following the original plot but has changed many aspects of Shakespeare’s Othello to suit todays audience, while keeping the themes showing the same universal…

    This demonstrates how societal pressures on inner truths invoke involuntary responses as individuals are shaped by their interpretations, consequently showing how internal truths change. The imagery metaphor of "My heart is turned to stone" exhibits how an individual's beliefs can change, thus consequently altering their morals as further shown through the strong emotive juxtaposition of "Yet she must die". This demonstrates two conflicting internal truths, as the yet implies hesitation whereas the must implies urgency. Othello's inner truth dictates that the only way for justice to be had is to kill his apparently unfaithful wife. By adhering to the truth of men being more trustworthy than women, an innocent life was lost.…

    A telltale sign of a good story is when one can identify and relate with the characters. Shakespeare is known as one of the absolute best at creating flawed characters that are still worth caring for. It’s difficult to connect with real people and fictional characters alike when they present themselves as flawless, because human beings aren’t perfect and they relate and bond over these imperfections. One of Shakespeare’s greatest yet most troubled characters is Othello; a courageous man, blind to his own detriments,who that has worked for everything he has despite imposing circumstances. Othello is an extremely complex individual whose personality traits coincide remarkably well with those of world-renowned rapper and fashion designer Kanye…

    Marie De France’s uncanny, whimsically lai “Lanval” satirically challenges and reverses the themes of love through stereotypical gender roles, which are unique and romanticized to traditions of the 12th century. Women for eternity have been rendered as beautiful, physical objects, who where inferior to men, and needed nothing more then a body. Marie De France depicted these same stereotypes in her writing but just in a reverse methodology. She criticizes the stereotypes of women with very opposing qualities while still displaying characters with feminism. This poem combines mercy and humility with a physical attraction which indicates the placement of power in the women characters.…

    believes that because he’s honest and honorable, that everyone else is the same way. 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.…
