12-15-10 Othello

Character Analysis

Iago:
Arguably one of my favorite villains. He carries out his actions without remorse, is incredibly smart, and is a good example of a person who feels deeply betrayed. I mentioned this several times in the past, but Iago is the puppet master. He knows everything and knows what strings to pull and in which direction. Everything Iago pulls off goes according to plan. It's not often the villain wins the war, and it was quite satisfying to see really. I needed a book where the main character wasn't the perfect example of perseverance and perfectness. Humans aren't perfect.

Comment on someone's blog:
It's not often that you see someone like Desdemona. She was murdered by someone she really loved, for honestly no reason. Yet her last words weren't cursing Othello, they were words to protect him, out of her love. When a person is about to die, nothing really matters anymore. Desdemona could have said anything she wanted. Yet she chose to not blame Othello.
