“A fur coat is pretty cool—for an animal to wear. Eighteen red foxes are killed to make one fox fur coat, 55 minks to make a mink coat” (Rosenberger, 42). Here we can see that all sorts of animals are captured and killed for their fur (Rosenberger, 42). Killing animals for any reason is wrong, but for a material object, now that’s the worst thing.

(Act-1, Scene-3, 362-365). Iago is also a very racist character. As Peterson says, “He doesn’t like Othello’s skin color.” He relates Othello to an animal, or sub-human being. He tells Brabantio that his daughter is sleeping with a beast/animal, and that he needs to keep a closer eye on her. He proves his racist nature when he says to Brabantio, “Even now, now, very now, an old black ram is tupping your white ewe.” (Act-1, Scene-1, 90-91) He also says that, “… your daughter and the Moore are now making the beast with two backs.” (Act-1 Scene-1, 117-118) Othello in Ashland didn’t do as good of a job portraying how Othello is in Shakespeare’s original play.
