Othello 7 Deadly Sins
Othello And The Seven Deadly Sins
Othello is a play written by William Shakespeare which list the Seven Deadly Sins is never mentioned in the Bible, the concept has existed since before the Middle Ages. Pride, Envy, Gluttony, Greed, Lust, pride, and Sloth are present throughout peoples everyday lifes. William Shakespeare’s tragedy Othello is a literary example of how these vices slip into our daily behaviors and, ultimately, ruin our lives. Each of the Seven Deadly Sins is displayed in this classic play, each with tragic or deadly consequences.
One of the most repeated sins in Othello is wrath which in Iago’s case goes well do to his revenge on Othello. Iago’s wrath goes but it doesn’t justify his actions. Iago doesn’t think thqt Cassio experience in field doesn’t compared to his. Iago doesn’t think Cassio deserves to be lieutenant. Iago expresses the anger he feels towards Othello’s choice for Cassio over himself for lieutenant in his soliloquies, comparing his hatred to “hell-pains”. This is a biblical illusion that can compare Iago to Satan, also known as the accuser and the illustration of the sin wrath. Satan tempts humans to sin or commit evil deeds; Iago does the same by challenging Othello’s faith in Desdemona and later accuses Othello of sleeping with his wife Emilia, without any concrete evidence. Iago is now looking for an excuse to get even with Othello, and instead of an eye for eye it is “wife for wife”. So in retaliation for the wrath he feels, Iago taints Othello’s image of Desdemona’s purity to reflect that of a “strumpet”, to ruin their relationship.
