dispossession” is what causes, in my opinion, jealousy among the male characters. Heathcliff’s first sign of jealousy manifested when he feared losing Catherine to Edgar and he realized that he did not have any power over her.

Jealousy, whatever it may be driven by, can produce many different actions in a person depending on their desires. Othello craftly examines a few examples of these with highly contrasting characters driven by vastly different things. The different manifestations of jealousy in said characters can be analysed through the characters of Roderigo, Othello, and Iago. Rodrigo’s character serves as an example of true jealousy over love, rather as a facade to cover-up another motivation, as seen with…

One’s great victory and intelligence, often overshadows the other’s loss of power and status. In the Shakespearean, Othello Iago’s trickery, schemes and manipulation allows him to achieve victory of Othello. It is correct to say, Iago’s plots and schemes is the foundation of the play.

William Shakespeare explores the theme of jealousy in Othello which leads results in the doom of the Othello. Shakespeare demonstrates the evil in humans through the characters of Othello such as Lago who uses others as his puppets to get to what he wants and another character who is driven by jealously is none other but Othello himself.

Gary Allen once said, “you can be the moon and still be jealous of the stars” (brainyquotes.com). Jealousy nothing more than love and hate at the same time has ridden the world of relationships since the beginning of time.
