In the following paragraph, we see how William Shakespeare is surrounded by racism and how he brings it towards one of his plays that seems to revolve around racism a lot. So this small revelation on racism was put into William Shakespeare plays because to simply to understand more about how people will react if a black moor was put into a higher rank general and a romance with the senator 's daughter.

In this play only specific characters where only chosen to act racist and they were Iago, Othello himself,Roderigo and Emilia who only said one foul thing to Othello when he killed Desdemona, which was “"O, the more angel she, and you the blacker devil!". For Roderigo, his hatred for Othello not for his position as a general but for the love he has for Desdemona is when Roderigo simply doesn 't allow and throughout the play, he only calls out Othello with a racial slur is “Thick lips” which to believe isn 't that big of deal for Shakespeare to bring

    Instead of being discussed within the public light, racism is hidden away in the confines of an institutionally corrupt police force, and public sector – where a façade of racial tolerance is put forward by government and police force purely for the sake of political correctness. This is seen where the original Commissioner of the London Metropolitan Police announces the promotion of black and Asian officers in an effort towards equality, yet is juxtaposed by the Commissioner’s true prejudices, which are disclosed in a seemingly private situation; thus leading to his scandalous resignation, allowing the newly free position of authority to be appointed to John Othello. This idea of indirect racism is further demonstrated by Ben Jago who, unlike Iago, who harbours his innately racist prejudices through the use of soft indignation and dramatic irony, causing him to make comments such as, “you stupid, patronising ape” and, “you clever, black bastard”, whose sour tone reveals a sense of tokenism and innate white…

    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…

    In 1.1, the conversation between Roderigo and Iago concerning Othello is what opens the play. The name “Othello” was never once brought up, and was instead substituted with “the Moor” that simply identifies him by the colour of his skin, not even worthy enough to deserve a name. Iago very crudely and explicitly tells Brabantio that Othello the “old black ram is tupping [his] white ewe” with the use of animal and sexual imagery, implicating that the general assumption on Othello’s race is that they are merely savages animals that only live by their sexual instincts. He also mentions that Desdemona and Othello are “making the beast with two backs”. Before the audience is even able to meet Othello, we are already forced fed with vivid description that implies the paralleling of blacks and beastly animals that are uncivilised and simply sexually driven, constructing a similar negative impression on Othello, sharing Iago and Roderigo’s racist mentality through lewd, indecent and debasing…

    Identity In Othello

    Throughout his whole life, Othello has had to deal with racism and stereotyping to the point where he has internalized the negative perceptions of his blackness. Karen Newman, an English professor at Brown University, describes how Iago’s deception of Othello was was rooted in Othello’s own prejudices against his racial identity (133). Iago put words to Othello’s deepest insecurities about his interracial marriage, including the belief that the“fair” Desdemona would prefer a white man, and Othello is convinced that “Haply for I am black/ And have not those soft parts of conversation/ That chamberers have.../ I am abused, and my relief/ Must be to loathe her” (Shakespeare 3.3.260-265). Othello’s projected facade of “honorary white”, as University of Pennsylvania professor Ania Loomba labeled him, is starting to disintegrate; he starts to believe that he possesses the unrefined black stereotype instead.…

    Othello Othello’s race plays a major role throughout this play. Othello's race is a dividing element, which causes him to be seen as an outsider. Essentially, the leader and dukes are happy with Othello just working for them but because of his ethnicity, he is not entirely trusted when given control. His race, an element of difference, plays a distinctive role in his downfall. For Example, Iago seizes on the fact that Othello is so self conscious about his race, and convinces Othello that Desdemona may come back to reality liking her own “clime, complexion, and degree of men(3.3.230).…
