Why Did Othello Kill Desdemona?
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses the fact that there were a number of reasons that Shakespeare’s Othello killed his wife. Jealousy, idealism, revenge, control and stupidity all serve as just part of the reason Othello acted so blindly. The reasons that have been suggested as the basis for Othello’s murder of Desdemona all exist but are only singular characteristics of the larger circumstances that drove him over the proverbial “edge.” In fact, Desdemona’s respectful and submissive demeanor towards Othello actually contributes to her death.

William Shakespeare's "Othello": Reality In Comedy
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. In the comedies, appearances and reality are manipulated for comic effect; in "Othello," the audience is presented with the tragic implications of being in a world where appearances are at odds with reality. One can readily surmise that this aspect is particularly apparent, inasmuch as Iago is a villain who only appears to be 'honest,' while Othello is a trusting sort who believes that men are intrinsically honest even if they seem not to be so. The writer discusses how this reciprocation of actual characteristics lends to the audience's enjoyment as social and political hypocrisy is presented in a most outwardly entertaining manner.
