The Scene where the audience sees Iago’s skills at manipulation is act III, scene iii, In act III, scene iii
Othello and Iago enters the stage, and Iago says “hah. No one even suspects him of treachery, until
the final act when Roderigo first realizes how badly he's been fooled. 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. And I’ll tell you one more thing - If you are not interested in
true don’t come to me because you’re wasting your and my time. To be in love and to be hurt by that
person is most probably the worst thing that could ever happen to you, and so the audience is once
again irritated. Get this resource as part of a bundle and save up to -15% A bundle is a package of

Othello's Ancient secretly loathes Othello and vows to bring him down, but Othello completely trusts
Iago and believes that he is a very honest man. This atmosphere, however, is quite fitting for the plot
of the play. Sadly, there are many aspects from the people around them, which in the end begin to
ruin this happy, and relationship. Us as the reader of the play, who knows Othello has fallen through
no fault of his own, now reads the words suspiciously. Also his powerful status as the General of
Venice deteriorates. This suggests to us that Desdemona is considering the idea of marrying Othello.
Desdemona can be seen to represent everything which is good while Iago represents everything
which is evil. The audience blame Iago more than Othello because he is the one who makes Othello
think bad of Cassio and Desdemona. The image of the fountain shows that he regards Desdemona as
the source of his love. This causes the suffering of innocent people like Desdemona, Emilia, Cassio
and Roderigo. But I also see that Desdemona loves you and it looks like pure love. He seizes every
opportunity he gets and uses it to bring Othello’s downfall. To add more ammunition to his reason for
bringing down Othello, Iago starts to convince himself that Cassio is also sleeping with his wife. The
play starts with the characters Roderigo (a Venetian friend of Iago’s) and Iago (the general’s ensign)
telling Brabantio (Desdemona’s Father) that Desdemona is having a secret relationship with the
general Othello. This line is in regular iambic pentameter revealing a “tranquil mind”. This is almost a
parallel of Desdemona’s last words protesting her continuing love for Othello. This resource hasn't

is going to put it in Cassio’s lodgings to implicate him. The fact that Othello’s want for revenge is so
strong, shows that he is more then a gentleman and loving husband, but more of a stereotypical
fighter. Convinced that Desdemona is, “a pearl he threw away”, a pure woman for the last time he
has reclaimed his love for her. In Act I Scene 3, although having previously spoken eloquently, he
says “Rude am I in my speech and little blest with the soft phrase of peace”. Iago plays on this
reputation of his in order to convince Othello that Desdemona is false. In many ways he can be
compared to nature and its desire to expand its life upon every part of the world. His goal is to tell
the emissaries from Venice what has happened.
If he is reduced his warrior status and commanding roles may be affected and he could eventually
suffer defeat. The Venetians were racist, which makes it a very unnatural marriage in their eyes.
Desdemona secretly married Othello, as her father would disapprove of her marrying a black person;
so she has been disloyal to her father and family. Neither Othello nor Desdemona is ashamed of the
relationship. They have an active sex life, but do not depend on this aspect of their relationship to
hold them together, as they also both enjoy the company of each other as well. Althoug we do not
discover what becomes of Bianca it is safe to assume that she continues her life in the same fashion
with a continued amount of disrespect from the male characters. Othello is the main character who
continually tries to over-compensate with his beautiful language in order to abolish the fact that he is
of black race and therefore of lower intelligence in his stereotypical role. It is only when Iago starts
to work on him that Othello begins to doubt Desdemona, this is when he begins to lose his self-
knowledge and confidence, thus helps to increase his level of tragic flaw in the play as he becomes
totally dependant on Iago. Even those in the play, who are not racist, would find it more natural for
Desdemona to be attracted to a younger, white man, similar to herself. He refers to them as goats,
monkeys and wolves as these animals were thought to be lustful creatures. Brabantio also accuses
Othello of using black magic to steal his daughter. Iago plays on Othello’s tragic flaw which is his
uxoriousness, loving Desdemona too much. If he is not honorary to his values of being a soldier and
get thrown over he will not be accepted by either side. The exclamation marks show that he is
shouting in anger or distress, which shows the violent nature of Othello. It shows the audience who
the good and evil characters are. Shakespeare makes the audience admire him even though he is a
black man. Shakespeare chooses Iago’s words very carefully; he also uses hesitation, pauses and
telling silences to great effect. Meaning slander or sleeping with Desdemona the two questions, “lie
with her?” and “lie on her” have various meanings and puns which do nothing more then add to
Othello’s confused emotional state. The theme emerges in other characters: Brabantio is deceived by
Desdemona's reaction to Othello, assuming she fears him when she truly loves the Moor. Discuss the
view that Othello is too stupid to be a tragic hero. Closing this scene Othello asks Iago to kill Cassio
for him “within these three days let me hear thee say, that Cassio’s not alive” this just shows the
audience that Othello believes Iago, and wants revenge on Cassio due to this. Othello also feels he's
being deceived by Cassio, whom he trusts and who appears loyal. Here Roderigo is basically making
a link between the amount he owes and the size of his lips. Throughout the play Iago manipulates
Othello into thinking that Desdemona, who is his wife, if having an affair with this lieutenant
Michael Cassio. This setting tells the reader that Othello’s secret relationship is a public debate, even
though it is just between Desdemona, Othello and Brabantio. “Hath thus beguiled your daughter of
herself and you of her, the bloody book of law” this quotation is taken from a speech by the duke in
whom he is explaining how he believes that they should face the law in which is fit for him. The
continual rejection of the characters natural stereotypical roles leads to a tragic climax at the
foundation of the play. See other similar resources ?3.50 (no rating) 0 reviews BUY NOW Save for

Speaking on Barbantio’s behalf, Othello explains “ He loved me ” which demonstrates that Othello
possesses an effortless and down-to-earth character. Venice was a unique city, it was small but 500
years ago it was one of the great trading centers of the known world.
Convinced that Desdemona is, “a pearl he threw away”, a pure woman for the last time he has
reclaimed his love for her. He also is willing to stand up in front of Senate and announce his love for
Desdemona and how it was founded. “She loved me for the dangers I had passed, and I loved her
that she did pity them”. His grievance at being overshadowed and undervalued lead him to a
fixation to hurt Othello with the only weapon he knew how, his new wife Desdemona. This could be
seen as an affectionate way of referring to him, but it could simply show that his colour and race are
what they see most. At first glance Iago's character seems to be pure evil and from the language
used by Iago in the first act, there is much that can be deduced about his character. He tells at the
beginning of the play “In following him, I follow but myself”. He is reminding them that they are
merely civilians and policemen and Othello is a military officer and the men behind him are soldiers.
The missing handkerchief also makes him more confused and his thought becomes more violent and
plots to kill Desdemona. Iago has set out a trap for his victim to fall into. The death of these two
noble, basically good people, and Emilia, seem by the end to have been for no reason at all, Othello
demands one but Iago only replies “What you know, you know”. The theme emerges in other
characters: Brabantio is deceived by Desdemona's reaction to Othello, assuming she fears him when
she truly loves the Moor. Iago is triggered into doing this through jealousy, as Othello appointed
Cassio as his lieutenant. This Increases our sympathy for him Shakespeare intends the audience to
think that Iago is more to blame than Othello as he is the one who makes him kill Desdemona.
During act 3 scene 3 Iago begins his plan to ruin Othello. As black people were associated with
demons during Shakespearean times because of their dark skin, the origins of Iago’s racism is
revealed. Examine Othello's character through the key speeches. Shakespeare portrays him as a
thoughtful man who does not enjoy being vindictive or malicious. The values inside a patriarchal
society are sexist towards women and restrict and distort morality. However much Othello’s
sentences are restored to their original standard the madness of killing without trial has proved
Othello’s mind frame is still in the hands of Iago. The audience are therefore relying on him to inform
them of any sub-plots that may occur in the future. Iago is doing this to push Othello past the point
of sanity so that Othello is about to go mad and cannot get the idea of killing Desdemona out of his
head. This is all because of the corruption and evilness of Iago. By close analysis of the language in
this extract, discuss Shakespeare's po. This is not true at all but it fuels his drive for revenge. The
audience originally expected Othello to be a malicious character however his beautiful language
conveys their thoughts and formulates an ideal persona of Othello in their minds. Write a review

Othello changes for the worse from the beginning of the play towards the end of the play as Iago
fills his mind with poison, turning him against his wife on the pursue of seeking revenge. 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. It can be argued that Iago uses his audience as
therapists and as a means to mediate. It is somewhat ironic that women like Desdemona are prefered
by the men because she is godlly and pure, yet Bianca is not respected because she is a whore
although Cassio is free to sleep with who ever he wants with no respect lost.
However, he acts with reason when he kills her as he needs to be in control. At the same time, Iago
makes use of language to urge others on. This play was written by Shakespeare in the 17 th century.
Meaning slander or sleeping with Desdemona the two questions, “lie with her?” and “lie on her” have
various meanings and puns which do nothing more then add to Othello’s confused emotional state.
O, the world hath not a sweeter creature: she might lie by an emperor’s side and command him
tasks.” On one level he is convinced of her unfaithfulness but on another he cannot completely let go
of the image of the sweet and beautiful women he has married. Othello describes him as a “ fellow
of exceeding honesty ”, Cassio says “ I never knew a Florentine more kind and honest ” referring to
Iago. Instead, he takes the words and implications of Iago as truth. In Act 2, Scene 1, Iago swears to
“ Strip you out of your lieutenancy ” when referring to Cassio. Iago knew that because of his past
quote that he is not intent on causing Othello more harms. On Page 79, Iago says to Othello “look at
your wife” Now he is telling Othello Plainly, to watch what his wife does, and Iago knows Othello
thinks, Iago is telling him this to look out for him. Iago says this because he is becoming increasingly
aware that Othello is changing, into what, Iago isn’t sure of yet so he must constantly be on his toes
in order to not become detected from a silly mistake he made with loose words. Iago has absolutely
no reason to do this but it really shows the audience exactly what kind of twisted, evil man Iago is.
That he is born an evil and ruthless man however it would be very constricted opinion to form as
environmental factors could play a key role in his character formation. The reason for this particular
setting is that it modernises the actual setting of the scene, where a meeting was being held about
war with the Turks. The use of repetition in his words 'O farewell' emphasises his defeat and
detachment from his life. Iago expects this feeling Othello has very cleverly by appearing as a world-
weary man, knowledgeable of Venice and Venetian women. Along with Hamlet, King Lear, and
Macbeth, Othello is one of Shakespeare's four great tragedies and thus a pillar of what most critics
take to be the apex of Shakespeare's dramatic art. Though there is much gray area between good and
evil, Iago's battle against Othello and Cassio certainly counts as an embodiment of this theme.
Shakespeare wrote most of his plays in the dramatic genre so he could try to change how people
thought of the dramatic genre. Like most Shakespeare tragedies Othello has a distinctive setting.
Shakespeare wanted the audience to mainly focus on the racist comments made about Othello by
other characters. It is also reference to hell, which shows the unnaturalness of his thoughts. It is only
when Iago starts to work on him that Othello begins to doubt Desdemona, this is when he begins to
lose his self-knowledge and confidence, thus helps to increase his level of tragic flaw in the play as
he becomes totally dependant on Iago. The former highlights the differences between Othello and
Desdemona. It is a tale of jealousy, personal motivation, and betrayal. The superlative description,
“be most happy,” suggests that he would like to hand over every ounce of love in the world. Both
ways fulfilment and enjoyment is reached, which I’m sure was Shakespeare’s main goal. Secondly
he does not have excuses for himself, because no-one can explain the simple, stark, fact of all his
actions. Othello is the main character who continually tries to over-compensate with his beautiful
language in order to abolish the fact that he is of black race and therefore of lower intelligence in his
stereotypical role. This is clear because when he goes on to kill Desdemona, he once again appears to
be the sweet, gentle, loving man, not engulfed in jealousy, but still murders his wife. He refers to
them as goats, monkeys and wolves as these animals were thought to be lustful creatures.
