Emilia

Othello’s soul was shattered and his whole outlook clouded simply because his ideal was destroyed.” I think that if Othello were jealousy, he would begin hiding, spying, peeping and that is what he did not. The truly jealous man is not like that. Othello declares at the end of the play that he was not jealous, at least he was not of a jealous temperament. He would not have suspected Desdemona if he had not been deceived by the villain - Iago. Iago is pretending to be an honest man and Othello’s…

Emilia chooses to carelessly obey Iago throughout the majority of the play, be selectively silent when her knowledge is crucial, and believe that Othello and Desdemona’s marriage is ruined rather than seek out the truth. Shakespeare takes advantage of Othello’s…

I agree with the observation “Behind the women’s forgiveness in these plays is the working out of a male fantasy. Quite simply put, the fantasy is that a woman will always forgive a man no matter how terribly he wrongs her” (Shirley Nelson Garner) in relation to the relationships between Desdemona and Othello in Othello, and King Lear and Cordelia in The Tragedy of King Lear. In one play we find ourselves watching Desdemona face the raft of Othello's festering jealousy questioning the outcome of…

Iago’s evil nature In the story of Othello, we meet many astonishing characters, but there seems to be one character that stands out amongst them all; Iago. Iago is William Shakespeare’s most wicked villain throughout the entire play. Shakespeare uses rhetoric of identity early on when introducing Iago by the “I am not what I am” speech (Act 1, scene 1), perhaps foreshadowing his true personality (Sleczkowski). Iago is the whole reason why there is any conflict in Othello. Iago has a…

body by changing what the person sees. Iago uses this concept multiple times but especially when he uses women as tools. He used his wife to pull the figurative last straw in Othello’s confidence with his wife. After constant mental abuse, his wife Emilia would do anything to make him happy. Anything he asked she would do in some hope to get some form of affection from him. He used her to steal Desdemona’s strawberry handkerchief that was bestowed upon her by her husband Othello. Even after she…

Emilia here will be my witness: I promise you that you’ll get your position back again. And if I promise to help someone, I do everything I can. My husband will never get a moment’s rest; I’ll keep him up at night talking about you until he runs out of patience…

typically applies to the development of young girls. The primary evidence proving that this is, in fact, the jealousy that is being experienced is that “if Iago’s jealousy had been ‘projective jealousy’ the object of the jealousy would have been Emilia, Iago’s wife, and therefore Iago should have either cuckolded Othello by sleeping with Desdemona or have murdered him” (Bergmann 202). As the play progresses, it is clear that Iago also seems to have difficulties grasping…

“Mom, I’m going out with the dogs.” Andy shouted out to his mom, Amelia, as he was stepping out the door. “Alright son,” His mother hollered back, as she just remembered something,“Don’t be long I need to meet your father for lunch.” Andy’s mom, Amelia, went into the other room. “Alright, call my phone when you need me to come home.” Andy said quietly thinking that his mom would not hear him. As Andy is walking to the dog park he is wondering is this their last move to a new home or are they…
