Desdemona loved Othello very much that she offered to go with him when the Duke ordered Othello to take hold cypre ss tree from the coming Turkish fleets.This made Rodrigo very jealous, but still hoped to win her one day, wishing that Othello too, pass on heretoforetu aloney get tired of her. Iago conscious Rodrigo to make money by selling his lands and fighting in wars, to be up to(p) to impress Desdemona. Fortunately, a tempest wrecked the Turkish fleet, eliminating the terror and people rejoiced. While rejoicing, Iago told Rodrigo how Desdemona was flirting with Cassio. Iago then advised him to provoke a fight with Cassio to get him in trouble with local authorities.In reality, all Iago wanted to do was to make Othello jealous of Cassio and Rodrigo. To make this happen, Iago made Cassio drunk, and thence being drunk, he had a fight with Rodrigo. Othello then dismissed Cassio from his short letter as lieutenant. Iago then advised Cassio to meet secretly with Desdemona, to help him convince Othello to reappoint him as lieutenant. Knowing that Cassio will heed his advice, Iago, one day, b rought Othello with him so Othello could rule the secret meeting. This helped spark Othellos green-eyed monster and suspicion.Iago had continuously worked on Othellos jealousy, and he even out used his wife, Emilia, to his advantage. He asked Emilia to steal the beloved handkerchief Othello gave to Desdemona as a gift. He placed the handkerchief in Cassios room, and told Othello that hed seen Cassio use it. This tout ensemble enraged Othello, so he appointed Iago to be the new lieutenant, and told him to decimate Cassio, but the Duke already appointed Cassio to be in charge. (Jalic Inc. ). With his rage, he was able to strike Desdemona Othello I am glad to see you mad. Desdemona Why, sweet OthelloOthello Striking her baffle Desdemona I have not deserved this. Lodovico My lord, this would not be believed in Venice, Though I should swear I sawt tis very much keep back her amends she weeps. Othello O d flagitious, devil If that the earth could teem with womans tears, Each fal l back she falls would depict a crocodile. Out of my sight Desdemona I will not stay to offend you. Lodovico Truly, an obedient lady I do beseech your lordship, call her back. (Shakespeare, Act IV, Scene I). Confused and hurt, Desdemona tried to run across her husband.Iago then led Rodrigo to kill Cassio, but Cassio lived and Rodrigo was killed instead. Othello, on the other hand, killed Desdemona. Brabantio killed himself upon wise(p) what happened to his daughter. In the end, Bianca and Emilia told the truth, and Iago killed Emilia for revealing it. Due to despair, Othello eventually killed himself. Iago was left(p) under Cassios hands to be punished. (Jalic Inc. ). Othello started as a untroubled guinea pig. He is the Moor of Venice, a very handsome Berber-Arab, and Muslim origin.The evil character, Iago, first tried Othello by making his relationship with Desdemona known to Brabantio, but Othello won since he eventually married her. The Duke of Venice even appointed him to defend Venice from invaders. However, he has one great untoughenedness his jealousy. He loved his wife so much that jealousy attacked him enough to believe his right-hand man, Cassio, was unfeignedly involved with his wife. The greatest problem here is the lack of communication amidst Othello and Desdemona. Othello got mislead by the malicious taunting of Iago.The sad part is, his character entirely changed that he became so hostile towards his beloved wife. His very weak character leads him to be defeated when he killed his own wife. He even became more pathetic when he killed himself. In reality, are we like Othello, slow defeated by rumors? There were a lot of ways to prove somebodys innocence and Othello didnt do it. There were a lot of couldas, wouldas, shouldas that Othello might have done, but he let jealousy overcome his being. We can learn a lot of things from this tragedy, as these tragedies are real experiences of the past, too.
