    Iago comes up with a plot to make Othello think that Desdemona is cheating on him with Cassio, he does this by getting his wife Emillia to steal Desdemona’s special handkerchief, which Othello gave to her as a gift, and he places it in Cassio’s room to try and frame them. When Othello finds out about Desdemona’s apparent betrayal and does not know what to do, he goes from being a kind loving man at the start to an angry upset man who ends up killing his wife. After he kills Desdemona he realises he shouldn’t have done it as she was set up, this causes him to take his own life because he can’t live knowing that he killed an innocent lady.

    She assists Cassio (who does not exist in Cinthio’s story) in receiving and audience with Desdemona after his fight with Montano (another character who only exists in Othello), in hopes that she could convince Othello to reinstate Cassio as his lieutenant. While Emilia did care about Iago and was loyal to him to an extent, she was ignorant of his plans until the very end. Emilia had more loyalty to Desdemona than the Ensign’s Wife did for Disdemona. When Emilia went to inform Othello of Roderigo’s death and Cassio’s injury, upon hearing Desdemona’s cries, she stopped everything and rushed to her aid, not waiting for Othello. After Desdemona’s death and Othello confessed to murdering her, Emilia did not hesitate to tell him what a horrible person he was. “Oh, the more angel she, and you the blacker devil!” (Shakespeare. Act 5, scene 2, lines 145-146). She defended Desdemona when Othello insulted her by saying that she was a whore. “Thou dost belie her, and thou art a devil.” (Shakespeare. Act 5, scene 2, line 148). Once all of the pieces fall into place, Iago’s suspicious behavior and Othello’s belief that Desdemona had an affair with Cassio, she ensures that the truth in made known. Iago orders her to go home after she tells him, Gratiano, and Montano what had happened, but she refuses to follow her husband’s orders. She continues to speak of what Iago had caused. Her actions get her killed by Iago. These actions show that Emilia was a much more outspoken and confident woman than her counterpart in Un Capitano Moro judging by what information is given in both texts. The Ensign’s Wife feared her husband. She hardly did anything to help Disdemona because of her fear. Emilia did not show any fear of her husband. What fear she may have had was overruled by her loyalty and care for…

    Iago is not to blame for the deaths of Othello, Desdemona, Roderigo, and Emilia because there is no hard evidence that pins him to the crimes. Iago himself did not kill anyone himself so his hands are clean and it would be unjustly to put the blame on him. Not only did Iago not kill anybody but he did not forcly make somebody kill someone else, all Iago did was give his opinion say what he thought. Iago himself even said to his wife,”I told him what I thought, and told no more. That what he found himself was apt and true.” In this instant Iago is referring to Othello and the the death of Desdemona. Othello is the guilty one for strangling his wife because he acted on his accord and was forced by nobody to do so. The only thing that Iago is guilty of is caring for his friend too much…

    The main plot of this novel is the desire of Iago to ruin the marriage of Othello and his beloved wife Desdemona. The actual motives of Iago for wanting to ruin the marriage are not totally assured. One reason that can be speculated for his feeling of hatred and envy towards Othello is the fact that he suspected that Emilia, his wife, committed adultery with Othello. This is expressed when Iago says “…I hate the moor, and it is thought abroad that ‘twixt my sheets has done my office.…

    Jealousy, the universal feeling we’ve all experienced at one time or another. Whether it be the newest piece of technology that someone has that you don’t and wish you did, or that kid on the playground that had those new light up shoes that were all the rage. Jealousy is not something that can be avoided, only controlled. It sneaks up on you, like a tree root sneaks up on concrete before it breaks to the surface. In William Shakespeare’s tragedy Othello, jealousy is a key component used by many characters as a weapon that is twisted and manipulated to serve their own ends.…

    “O, beware, my lord, of jealousy! / It is the green-eyed monster, which doth mock/ The meat it feeds on” (Shakespeare III. iii. 195-197). Everyone has the capacity for jealousy. It can change how people think as well as how they act. In the play Othello by William Shakespeare, jealousy is nurtured within the minds of multiple characters, and this jealousy is what ignites the want to make multiple misconceptions arise in order to create havoc and inflict suffering upon others and in some cases, upon themselves. To start off, Iago illustrates how jealousy can cause one to want to inflict pain upon others. Secondly, Roderigo shows how jealousy can make one become easily persuaded into doing wrong things. Lastly, Othello is a fine example of how jealousy can cloud somebody’s mind and cause them to see things as something else and inflict suffering on themselves and on others.…
