The racism is shown a lot in the play when Iago refers to Othello as 'the moor' an example of this is in act one scene one line 40. This shows how he doesn’t like him because of his ethnicity and is jealous that someone like Othello has a higher status than himself. Another sign of Iago's jealousy is shown when he is talking about how he doesn’t want to work for Othello, Act one scene one line 35, 'Tis the curse of service…' this shows how he does not want to work for Othello and dislikes it. He could be jealous here as he may want to be in Othello's position and believes that someone like himself shouldn’t be working for Othello. In the same paragraph he is saying how he is being forced/ transformed to love Othello, 'I in any just term am affined to love the Moor.'
Knavery’s plain face is never seen til us’d. As this quote says to be a villain you have to be deceitful, cunning, and manipulative. These characteristics are all commonly associated with the concept of evil and are displayed in the play Othello by William Shakespeare and in the book The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. The villains in these two texts are both evil as they manipulate and harm other people in their lives who trust them and think of them as moral citizens and not as villains. In Othello Iago, Othello’s most trusted friend and ally, deceives and manipulates everyone in the play to bring about Othello’s downfall.
A malicious character such as Iago generates jealousy in others ingeniously. He is consumed with jealousy of Cassio and concealed with hatred of Othello as he was not chosen for the Cassio’s promotion. He also suffers from sexual jealousy in which he suspects Emilia with Othello. His main intention is to engineer jealousy in others and get revenge. Even though Iago uses jealousy against Othello he still asserts that, “Beware, my lord, of Jealousy!
Iago here is convincing Othello not to become jealous and stay calm. Also, the “green-ey'd monster” is a metaphor that represents the feeling of jealousy inside Othello. By this stage, Othello strongly believes Iago’s words and is sexually jealous, which forces Othello’s dialogue to create an uncomfortable tone when he speaks with Desdemona. It is also necessary to consider that Brabantio’s words have an effect on Othello’s jealousy. He mentions “Look to her, Moor, if thou hast eyes to see:/ She has deceived her father, and may thee" (I, i, 292-293).
Iago states: “Thus do I ever make fool my purse” ( I.iii.374). Evidently, Iago takes advantage of Roderigo’s devotion by conning him in his money. Similarly, Iago uses Roderigo once more by convincing him to kill Cassio. Although, Roderigo is reluctant at first, he relents once Iago insists that this will win him Desdemona. Roderigo states: “I have no great devotion to the deed and yet he hath given my satisfying reasons.
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.
William Shakespeare’s play Othello, shows how a respected general ultimately reaches his dark fate through manipulation and lies. Due to some carefully concocted lies by Iago, and some obvious tragic flaws, Othello lets jealousy get the best of him. As the play progresses, evil Iago’s plan seems to fall right into place, leading Othello, and other innocent lives around him to death. In the beginning, Othello is very much in love with Desdemona and has no reason to distrust her. He speaks to her in a loving and excited manner stating “It gives me wonder great as my content/to see you here before me.
That why he is a betrayer in my opinion, he lies to people and he always wants to be a two-faced person. One this Brutus did and seemed fake and not caring for others was being best friends with J.C and after wards talking horrible about him and how he thought J.C was too ambitious. Brutus will always talk about anyone behind their backs no matter who they were and I find that very inconsiderate and cruel. Even though Brutus knew that Ceasar was going to die he was planning on to helping to kill him. Meanwhile, When Brutus kills himself he shouts out words of peace to Caesars spirit “Caesar, you can rest now.
Unreflected love shows it’s presence via the relationship between Helena and Demetrius. Helena loves Demetrius, however, Demetrius does not love her back because he is blinded by his love for Hermia. This unrequited love shows the cruel nature of love. “The more you beat me, I will fawn on you” (30) Demetrius attempts to ignore Helena in order to push her away from him, however this plan backfires as it only makes her love him more. The more she loves him, the more he hates her.
Again Macbeth’s conscience comes into play when he says, “We still have judgement here; that we but teach / Bloody instruction, which being taught return / To plague the inventor: this even-handed justice,” (I, vii, 8-10). He knows what he is doing wrong and that there will be consequences even before he murders Duncan. Macbeth is a weak man however, and ignores his conscience; he instead gives in to his power-hungry wife’s greed and allows his ambition to lead him on a dastardly journey. Although it may seem as though Duncan’s murder was not only Macbeth’s doing, he had a
