Othello's Change in William Shakespeare's Play

Othello's Change in William Shakespeare's Play

In this essay I will be explaining Act 3 Scene 3 in detail to come to

a conclusion in how Othello's attitude changes and the way he felt and

showed it. In the beginning of the scene Othello's language had a lot

of poetry and shows how confident he is showing it through the

language he uses. He is also had no doubt in marrying Desdemona and

their love between them seems very unbreakable. He is also positive

about how things are going on in Cyprus, as he has been made general

and feel real proud in leading the army. By then end of the scene

Othello's language becomes more like Iago's and much hatred for

Desdemona this shows lack of love in him and the faith within himself

and toward Desdemona. He is also convinced that Desdemona should pay

for what she has done and summons to killer her. Throughout the essay

I will explain how the change is made in just one scene.

Iago feel that he needs to get back at Othello had he wanted to be in

Cassio's place. He is trusted and fooled by such 'honesty' toward all

the characters in the play. The man that Othello thought he could

trust also betrayed him. Othello's belief in Iago is quite logical

because he has worked with him for years and fought many battles as

well. Iago is very conceiving because he plots to put such images in

Othello's mind and convince him that something is going on between

Cassio and Desdemona. He would go down to anything to see what he gets

and also involves his wife in taking a handkerchief. From what I have

said so far you can tell that Iago would go to such depths to get

exactly what he wants. We can also show that Iago does not like

Othello much as when he mentions 'Even now, now, very now, an old ram

is tupping your white ewe.

Iago's plan was to get Cassio's job and gain revenge on Othello. In
