Amongst life’s decisions‚ the most common example of poor judgment is acting on the possible rather than the probable‚ which was what mainly caused Othello’s tragedy in William Shakespeare’s Othello The Moor of Venice. Othello’s feelings of jealousy‚ Iago’s manipulation and his inferiority complex are all contributors of the plays tragedy. His decision to trust the wrong people instead of the people that were most loyal to him results into his dreadful demise. Many people believe that jealousy

Further‚ Othello’s invocation of his own military triumphs might be seen as another example of Othello dangerously misordering his priorities.
