Writing a coursework, especially on a complex topic like Othello, can be a challenging and time-

consuming task. Othello is a play by William Shakespeare that delves into intricate themes such as
jealousy, betrayal, and racial dynamics. Crafting a coursework on this subject requires in-depth
analysis, critical thinking, and a comprehensive understanding of the play.

One of the difficulties in writing an Othello coursework is the need to explore the characters'
motivations and relationships thoroughly. Analyzing the psychological aspects of characters like
Othello, Iago, and Desdemona requires a deep dive into the text, often involving multiple readings to
grasp the nuances of their personalities.

Additionally, interpreting the play's themes and contextualizing them within the broader socio-
political and historical context of Shakespeare's time can pose another challenge. Students are often
required to connect the play's themes to relevant literary theories and criticism, which demands a
strong grasp of literary analysis.

Time constraints can also be a hurdle for students, as they juggle multiple assignments and
responsibilities. Balancing coursework with other academic and personal commitments can lead to
stress and a compromise in the quality of the work produced.

what has happened forces him to have to come to terms with two things. This contrasts with the
characters who change their personality traits repetitively. This is because she takes Desdemona’s
handkerchief which Othello gave to her. Here, it is Othello’s false realization that Desdemona has
been unfaithful. Through his language Iago shows an earthiness persona. The audience are therefore
relying on him to inform them of any sub-plots that may occur in the future. This is almost a parallel
of Desdemona’s last words protesting her continuing love for Othello. I know from the play Cassio

Cassio is what makes him selfish because he didn't get promoted to the higher job which Cassio on
the other hand did. This in someway shows Iago is jealous but his jealousy is not just aimed on the
opponent Cassio, it is also aimed on Othello because he promoted Cassio. The fact that even though
Othello is black he has managed to get a beautiful wife and a high position may be what Iago
desires. Shakespeare gives dramatic impact to their entrance as Brabantio, Othello, Cassio, Iago,
Roderigo and officers all enter at once. Immediately we see that Lowood's religious education does

increases his superiority over the other characters in the play and gives him an advantage that he is
only to willing to use in his favour. My first impression of Iago is that he is treacherous. Shakespeare

shows a mechanical and sexual part of his personality. However when her life is threatened at the end
of the play Desdemona retreats to her original stereotypical role. As a result of the experience of

although it is fake personality. Othello’s response shows that he is starting to believe what Iago is
saying by responding “I think thou dost”. The whole play Othello is based on Iago and his plan. Her
ability to draw light to all of Iago’s dishonesty “ A lie, an odious, a damned lie ” takes Iago by
surprise as the thought has never occurred to him in his plans. Again, she does nothing wrong, but
Othello’s jealousy and presumptions of guilt have already condemned her without ever giving her a
chance to defend herself.
Throughout the play, Othello remains distanced from much of the actions that affects and concerns
him. Every room in the orphanage lit up with the echoing 8:00 chime until the house fell silent. It is,

“Wherein I spake of most disastrous chances, Of moving accidents by flood and field, Of hair-
breadth scapes i’th’imminent deadly breach, Of being taken by the insolent foe, And sold to
slavery,”. Instead, he chooses to believe the scheming Iago and condemns both his beloved
Desdemona and then himself out of guilt. Instead, he takes the words and implications of Iago as
truth. He feels unworthy of his delicate wife and as a result is quick to believe Iago’s insinuations.

an evil and ruthless man however it would be very constricted opinion to form as environmental

that Iago used in the beginning of the play gives way to imagery of demons and damnation. Othello
is a romantic drama which goes through a general of the Venetian army’s life. The roles of woman
are still seen as possession as it is evident in the cultures of Asian society as men are seem more
superior to women therefore they control them (own them). Shakespeare gives dramatic impact to

ideal persona of Othello in their minds. It could mean one of three things: Desdemona’s infidelity
may be the reason which propels his actions; he is also thinking that his actions are in a just cause; or

comedies, histories, and tragedies. He informs the audience of the plot by using a soliloquy. There is
no strong action here, but Shakespeare succeeds in making the exchange meaningful by using the
stage direction of Cassio leaving and Iago’s lines that implicate them both. This is the insecurity that
Iago manipulates.As an immigrant, Othello is very sensitive of his status as an outsider. The
consistent use of such extraordinary comparison of human behaviour and animal imagery can show
certain character traits of Iago. Even Desdemona is blinded by his cold calculating manipulation as
she refers to him as “ an honest fellow ”. The destination of the ships approaching has also not been
confirmed. No, my heart is turned to stone: I strike it, and it hurts my hand. And this may help to

an intense feeling of powerlessness and betrayal in the personal and domestic sphere of his life
owing to the treachery of his subordinate Iago and more predominantly owing to his jealousy over
the fidelity of his wife Desdemona, his tendency to give ear to the rumors spread by others, and an
appalling lack of self control over his emotions and anger.
