Of Mine and Men and Othello
A person is a person through other persons…” means that an individual is who they are thanks to the society that they are in. People change and differ because of where they live in and what the people around them do. The book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck and Othello by William Shakespeare give perfect examples of this.
In the book of Mice and Men, we know the tragic ending that occurs with Lennie. But what caused this? Was it random? I believe not. Lennie had an addiction to putting soft things with such force that he would kill them without know. When he killed his boss’s wife, he didn’t mean to and ran away. George ran after him and killed him. The question is… what caused George to kill his fellow friend?

In the book Othello, it the same way except this time the main character, Othello, is put in a situation where he does not know anything. His best friend Iago is jealous because he got a higher rank in the military and he didn’t. Hence, he schemed to make him kill his own wife. So it happened and therefore at the end, Othello killed himself. This is a much better example because it is a tragedy. Othello had just married his beautiful wife and now Iago, his best friend, was telling him that she was going around cheating on him. With certain and scenes set up by this mastermind, he convinced Othello that she was indeed cheating on him. His final actions were to suffocate her with a pillow. Othello did kill Desdemona, and
