The Tragedy of Desdemona Throughout the play of Othello‚ Shakespeare takes the audience through a series of events that allows good and evil to be distinguished amongst the characters introduced.

can or can’t exist. Judging from the relationship between Desdemona and Othello‚ through Nicholson’s "Othello" And The Geography Of Persuasion." the play seems to say that marriage based on an innocent romantic love or profane love is bound to fail. Shakespeare is pessimistic about the existence and survival of a true type of love. There is a common thread of betrayal and deceit among his female characters‚ especially.

Desdemona In the beginning of the play Othello‚ Desdemona is seen as a strong powerful women who isn’t afraid to stick up for herself. Roderigo and Othello both were in love with Desdemona. The changes the audience see are on the surface.

Free Othello Iago Audience
Iago is the most interesting character in this Shakespearean play and in fact‚ has more speaking parts than even Othello himself. A man that can even convince his own wife to help with his masterfully manipulated puppetry of Othello‚ Desdemona‚ Roderigo‚ Cassio‚ and Emilia is an exquisite character.

Although‚ Iago seems to quite‚ passionately
