The stone‚ the first declares his

    2011 The Role of Irony in Shakespeare’s “Othello” The most captivating elements of Othello are Shakespeare’s clever use of literary devices‚ such as symbolism (i.e. the handkerchief‚ a symbol of faith and fidelity) and metaphor (Iago’s vulgar animal references- Iago tells Barbantio: “…an old black ram is tupping your white ewe” (1.1.88)).
