1、Destruction Resulted from Jealousy The Tragedy Analysis on OthelloAmong all Shakespeares works, the four great tragedies represent the best of his artistic attainments. Many literary critics regard Othello as the peak of his tragedies, and it is deserved. The story is named after the name of protago
2、nist, simple but full of distinction. After reading the story, there are much feelings in my heart. Othello, a young noble general of Venice Duchy, promoted Cassio as his lieutenant. Then Iago, who is hoping for the promotion but fails, makes plots against Cassio and Othello to take revenge. On the
3、other hand, Othello has secretly married Desdemona, the beautiful daughter of Venetian senator Brabantio, and Iago determines to use Desdemona as the means of his revenge. Othello believes Iagos tricks so that he kills his wife by his own hand. In the end of the play, he finds that he has murdered h
4、is pure beloved wife by mistake, he cannot face himself and stabs himself full of guilt and dies beside Desdemona. Obviously, Othello is a tragic play, and the personality traits of the characters lead to the tragedy.In Shakespeares play Othello, Othello is a Moor with an honest, kind and open mind,
5、 an all-powerful hero on the battlefield. However it is the character that was made use of by Iago, leading to the credulity tragedy of murder and suicide. Although some people comment that this tragedy results from treacherous Iago who was full of ambition and inner jealousy, in fact, in the traged
6、y of Othello, Iago is not the only reason. He is created for the objective conditions, and the real development comes from the hero.Firstly, Othello always has an inferiority complex due to his black race. Though he has been promoted as a noble general, his inferior and fragile mind has never disapp
7、eared. Deep in his mind, Othello is inferior in skin color, image and age, and he actually felt that he was not worthy of Desdemona. When Othello was told that his wife is having a love affair with Cassio, whom he felt inferior to, he had an indefinable fear. Such fear pulls out his inferiority and
8、steals away his rations. Second, Othello is too credulous of other people. If he hadnt believed in the words of Iago that his wife was having a love affair with some other people, the tragedy of jealousy would not have happened. And the marriage with Desdemona is so happy that he believes the world
9、is good. He cannot imagine Iago is such an evil who envies his wifes beauty and is very angry and hates him due to a promotion, which is unfair in his eye. Therefore, Iago deliberately spread rumors trying to take his revenge, which Othello did not perceive. On the contrary, Othello thought Iago an
10、honorable man since Iago behaved in a hesitant manner to disclose the “truth” to him, looking like a righteous man from the heart. The tragedy is rooted in Othellos character, too credulous and blind to the social evils.Furthermore, Othello is a man with “male chauvinism”. When he was provoked by Ia
11、go, he began to doubt his wifes honesty immediately. In his view, wifes derailment is shameful, heinous, hurting his big mans self-esteem. Even if it is only a rumor, he also cannot wait to ask to find evidence from his true love. It is rather his male chauvinism than so much trust in Iago. In his v
12、iew, wifes derailment is shameful, heinous, hurting his big mans self-esteem. Even if it is only a rumor, he also cannot wait to ask to find evidence. When he found his handkerchief used as engagement pledge in Cassios room and suspected his wifes infidelity, it is understandable and justifiable. Bu
13、t when he went into Iagos trap, saw the expressions and mouths of Cassio and Iago when they were talking, Othello thus concluded that Cassio was having an affair with his wife Desdemona. This can be entirely based on his own guess. Othello is driven by his self-esteem so that Iagos instigation is ab
14、le to immediately work. In fact, Othello had an opportunity to know the truth, say, to have conversation with Desdemona when they were in the bedroom, but he did not. On the contrary, he kept insulting his wife as a “whore” and wantonly humiliated her face just because he feared that the truth was t
15、he same as his own guess. If his guess was true, his honor and pride would be gone.Another drawback of Othello is his violent personality and impulsiveness, which ultimately causes the tragedy. After marriage, Othello looked like a tamed lion, but that does not mean he was to get rid of the lions na
16、ture. When he was stimulated, he would fly into a rage, consuming everything around him. So, when he saw Iago pause in his words, he encouraged Iago to honestly tell him the truth, though with the worst words to say what he thought of the worst things. In fact, Othellos body and mind was deep with a
17、n evil force, but previously it was only suppressed by the sweetness of love, and when he was told his wife having an affair with others, he decided that “Ill see before I doubt; when I doubt, prove; and on the proof, there is no more but this, away at once with love or jealousy!” It can be seen tha
18、t Othellos destructive force is very strong, once it is free of the shackles of reason, the consequences would be disastrous. Unluckily, Othello is a man lack of intellectual thinking, just believing in Iagos one-sided words and thus beginning to suspect his wife. When he saw his wife and his men me
19、et, that handkerchief used as engagement pledge was in Cassios hand, he jumped to the conclusion that his wife was involved in infidelity and thus decided to her. The dying Desdemona asked him to listen to her explanation, or to find Cassio confront, but at that time, Othello, full of jealousy, did
20、not give Desdemona the chance to explain, but pulled his anger out, ultimately killed his beautiful innocent wife and led to the tragedy.Generally speaking, Othello is not only a tragedy of family, but also a tragedy of love. Jealous psychology of the characters ultimately leads to the tragedy. Many
21、 believes that the evil Iago is responsible for the whole tragedy, but it is actually a closely related causal cycle. Iago being jealous of Cassio and Othello, he slandered and entrapped Cassio and Desdemona, which directly brought about Othellos tragedy. Othellos true love to Desdemona was utilized
22、 by Iago who had ulterior motive. Driven by jealousy, Othello readily believed Iago, and personally killed his own wife, and eventually drew his sword to cut his own throat. Therefore, the tragedy in Othello is largely rooted in the weakness of personality traits jealousy.The characters of Othello and Desdemona portrayed by Shakespeare as tragic ones are apparently an exaggeration. In the real world, it happens that love is ruined by deliberate traps of other vicious people, as well as distrust between couples themselves. Lovers eyes are usually blinded by one-sid
