The Blind Passion In Shakespeare's Othello

Othello throughout history has been talked about; his story has been handed down from generation to generation. Most of Williams plays pull on the strings of the heart and Othello is one that pulls a little bit too hard. Othello is mostly about blind passion, and an antagonist who twists and turns everyone against each other and ends up destroying a man, due to overhearing a rumor. One of the greatest things about Othello is that shows the human heart raw, for what it really is. It uses the blind passion in its characters and starts a fire in the reader’s heart.

These individuals get lost and that is what Iago is an example of that personal event.
