Othello END

I feel that the characters have suffered and endured great pain and endurance throughout the play. I feel the most sorry for the people that had to encounter Iago’s wit. This heroic story didn’t end happily since is a tragedy. Iago manipulated other people’s minds and basically used them as his puppets because he didn’t want to get his hands dirty. Iago had people play for him because they trusted him they listened to him and his words. He also ended the relationship between Othello and Desdemona, and even caused Othello to kill Desdemona for “cheating” on him. He pushed and caused Othello to kill Desdemona, who hasn’t done anything negative to Iago. Iago is just plainly upset that Cassio was promoted and that he wasn’t on his level. I think that Othello shouldn’t of replaced Iago in Cassio’s place because this now made it easier for Iago to mess with him.
I think that this jealousy throughout the play shows that it can be a very powerful weapon. Cassio is also a tragic character because he was a lieutenant and then lost his rank after he becomes drunk and looses nobility from Othello in Cyprus. I feel bad for Othello because he shouldn’t have trusted a man who was completely jealous and killed his love just because his mind was manipulated. Jealousy has helped me process that one shouldn’t let it takeover and control your actions. Othello became jealous that Desdemona was having an affair with Cassio and it upset him to imagine that. I pity Desdemona because she was bait in Iago’s mind and witty plans. She didn’t deserve to die because she loved Othello and was just setup. I think Othello’s emotions caused him to go over the edge and kill Desdemona because he was confused about what was going on and his love with her. I can’t imagine something that’s the same in my life, but similar situations could occur in which there is something else intended, or where they use reverse psychology.
