A jealous motive that has turned into a strong desire to destroy Othello’s life is shown from the quote; “I hate the Moor; And it is thought abroad that 'twixt my sheets 'Has done my office. I know not if't be true; Yet I, for mere suspicion in that kind, Will do as if for surety.” (1.3) This is because Iago had thought that Othello was committing adultery with his wife Emilia. I used this quote in the visual representation to show the steps of how jealousy progressed. Iago had induced his will to destroy Othello by his cunning motives. The quote was an explicit example of how jealousy drove Iago to commit his actions.
The passion of Medea’s love is evident in her actions preluding the play, where she killed her own brother to help distance her enemies from Jason and herself. But, upon the adulterous actions of Jason, this powerful love is extinguished. A jilted lover, she becomes incredibly mournful, which “sweeps on violently”. She becomes malevolent, her “proud, impassioned soul so ungovernable now” after feeling the “sting of injustice”. Medea is infected by rage, which festers within her and ultimately consumes her.
Loneliness puts The Monster in a mentally unstable position. He believes that he is a monster for the reason being he was created by one. In comparison, Othello’s betrayal is demonstrated throughout the play, but especially through Iago when he confesses to the audience his plan to manipulate and destroy Othello’s love life with Desdemona. Although Othello trusts Iago with anything, Iago hates the “Moor” and is willing to do anything to destroy him. Iago feels that the best way to do so is by manipulating Othello telling him that his wife is cheating on him with Cassio, who Iago coincidently hates as well.
Because of Iago’s web of lies, Othello was transformed into a monster, who no longer spoke to Desdemona gently, but rather struck her in public. The emotional change of Othello was extremely evident as he was so utterly in love with Desdemona in the beginning, yet by the end he could actually bring himself to kill her. Othello seemed to be tragically flawed in the sense that he was too proud to stand the fact that his wife had been unfaithful. Being a general he was always in control, and Iago made it seem that he did not have complete dominance over all aspects of his life. Every lie brought him deeper into his madness, and he appeared to be so
In “In following him, I follow but myself”, Iago reveals his plan to Roderigo and shows his deception and malicious deceit to Othello. Iago’s malicious acts of jealous are also motivated by the fear of the fragility of his reputation, so he sets out to protect what he has wired vigorously to achieve. “I hate the Moor.” Iago confesses to the audience in his soliloquy. And it is thought abroad that “He’s done my office. I know not if’t be true”.
In this passage, Juliet goes through a variety of emotions – betrayal, conflict, resolution and guilt. At the beginning of the passage, Juliet feels betrayed by Romeo. This is expressed as she curses him, “O serpent heart, hid with a flow’ring face!”, a “wolvish ravening lamb” and “just opposite to what thou justly seem’st”. All these phrases show how she felt deceived that Romeo, despite his beautiful appearance, turned out to be a murderer of her cousin. This is right after she hears from the Nurse that Romeo was the one who killed Tybalt.
'I do believe the creatures both are mad, one lately crazed, the other from her birth' (Sophocles 141) In this quote Creon is calling both Antigone and Iseme crazy for feeling sorrow for their brothers death.This displays hubris because he is being ignorant as he is filled with excessive pride. Creon was so insolent towards the two sisters tjay he didn't even understand that they lost a member of their own flesh and blood. Creon also portrays hubris toward the blind prophet. “Do you forget to whom you say it?” (Sophocles, 154) In this quote Creon is asking Teiresias If he forgets who he is talking to. Creon shows hubris because he asks this to Teiresias because he is king and has excessive pride.
Shakespeare shows Othello in having a gullible and a Jealous and insecure nature. This is shown from Iago manipulating Othello and the idea of Desdemona having to love someone like him (Othello). Iago understands Othello’s weaknesses and he used that to his advantage to get his revenge on Othello by manipulating him in killing Desdemona. Iago shows Othello’s jealous nature when taking action of the plan of making it seem like Desdemona had an affair with Cassio. Iago shows that he has noticed Othello’s jealous nature from the quote, “O beware, my lord, of jealousy: it is the green-eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on.” This shows Othello’s jealous nature by the way he takes action of the situation he believes that is going on.
Iago’s murder of Emilia could also come from the general hatred of women that he displays. Emilia can be seen as a cover up to Iago’s true sexuality. When Iago tells Othello, “I am yours favour” it sets up the idea of Iago having homosexual feelings for Othello, these words sounding like a wedding vow. He certainly seems to take great pleasure in preventing Othello from enjoying marital happiness with Desdemona by framing her to be seen as unfaithful to Othello also he expresses his love for Othello frequently and effusively, for example; "…I lay with Cassio lately…. In sleep I heard him say, "Sweet Desdemona, Let us be wary, let us hide our loves!"
Annotation of Othello The Act 3 Scene iii is an important part in the whole Act which says that how Iago incites Othello to be jealous with Desdemona and Cassio. In the Act 3 Scene iii, Iago said to Othello: “Oh, beware, my lord, of jealousy! / …That cuckold lives in bliss.” (Line 167-169) which makes an analogy between jealousy and a green-eyed monster. Iago seems to warn Othello not to be jealous to Desdemona but actually has already put the seed of jealousy in Othello’s mind which makes Othello be sure to Desdemona’s unfaithfulness more. Then Iago says: “Who, certain of his fate, loves not his wronger, / …… / yet soundly loves!” (Line 169-172) the first half sentence refers to Iago and Iago’s wife who is suspected by Iago with no reason of her unfaithfulness.
