Let's see. After some time, to abuse Othello's ear that he is too familiar with his wife.” The pun on “double knavery” encompasses Iago’s betrayal of Cassio as well as Othello at the same time. This quote shows Iago’s betrayal because it represents the dramatic irony of the phrase
Starting with Professional jealousy. This is a type of jealousy that is shown towards the beginning of the play when Shakespeare writes how Iago is jealous of the character of Michael Cassio in his soliloquy “In personal suit to make me his lieutenant … One Michael Cassio a Florentine. A fellow most damned in a fair wife that never set a squadron in the field.” Shakespeare let Iago have this line so he could show a fury of being beaten to a position a person would have thought was theirs by a man with no experience but was learned. However, it seems as though all professional jealousy seems to revolve around the character of Michael Cassio, but once again it comes from the character of Iago. Shakespeare uses Iago as the character that is gifted with the art of persuasion and deception as Shakespeare has allowed him to deceive the gullible character of Roderigo.
This is exactly what Iago wants to happen to the Othello. He realizes jealousy is the key to destroying him. To awaken this jealousy in Othello, Iago first warns him of it (Godfrey 1). Iago says to Othello, “it is the green eyed monster which doth mock that meat is fed on” (3, 3, 196-197). Granted that Iago is just simply warning Othello of what jealousy will do to someone; we must take into consideration that for Iago to give this advice, he must have some experience in jealousy.
Down strumpet!” exemplifies the victimization of Desdemona. Shakespeare uses imperative statements; “out” and “down” demonstrate Othello’s sharp tone due to his rage caused by Iago’s manipulation. Othello commands Desdemona as you would to a disobedient animal, victimising her by putting her in a position where she knows the truth yet she is muted as she still loves and cares for Othello too much that she can’t disrespect him The word “strumpet” suggests that the drastic change in Othello has affected and determined the loss of respect for Desdemona.”Down”.This suggest that in return, As the extract progresses, Othello’s language deteriorates dramatically into a vulgar tone. “Strumpet”- The fact that this name calling is done using exclamatives implies Othello’s rage towards his wife which victimises Desdemona and has given up beating around the bush and is now willing to confront Desdemona’s actions in order for her to admit it.Shakespeare uses this to show how life was for an inferior woman in comparison to a man in the Jacobean era. Shakespeare has presented Desdemona as a victim to emphasise on how women were expected to be docile.
Had Jason not left Medea, or even more sympathetic to her position, such a tragedy may not have been initiated. There is a plausible notion, however, that Medea’s malevolence was induced by the Gods, and not that she herself is evil. Medea, "no ordinary woman", has an overly passionate temperament. She is utterly infatuated by Jason. 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.
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.
Iago’s only motive is jealousy – discuss Iago’s crimes throughout the play show a distinct display of jealousy and a sheer desire for revenge. In various soliloquies, he reveals grudges that present themselves as clear to Iago. Iago masters duplicity and many of his dark motives are concealed from the audience. In his few soliloquies, he presents definitive motives for his vengeful desires, to which some critics claim there is more than just jealousy behind his actions. Within the first scene of the play, Iago reveals his motive of jealousy.
However, Oedipus egotism character concerning autonomy depicts and fulfills his destiny. Oedipus becomes ignorant as Tiresias expresses that Oedipus is the murderer he seeks (10). However, Oedipus calls the blind profit a traitor and mocks the seer by calling him a cripple to his ears and eyes. Oedipus does not believe the prophecy is true as he contradicts what he hears. Tiresias is also equally disrespectful, mocking and provocative as Oedipus.
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”.
He literally went to hell and back for Penelope and Ithaca, and this shows extreme passion as a positive driving force in his fight to get back home. Othello is a perfect example of passion as a negative force. In Othello by William Shakespeare, Othello’s passion and love for Desdemona leads to jealousy and his and her deaths. All this was because of Iago’s extreme jealousy of Cassio, because Othello promoted Cassio instead of him, and he created a plot to make Othello jealous and turns his passion for Desdemona into jealousy and hatred, by
